Gate to the Robertson plot at Huguenot Cemetery.
Dr. William Marshall Robertson and his wife, Ann Frazer Robertson, were already residents of St. Augustine when Florida became a territory of the United States in 1821. Both were originally from Scotland and Ann’s brother, John Frazer, owned a plantation near the Georgia border. Dr. Robertson became a naturalized citizen but died soon after – in 1823. Ann would continue to live in St. Augustine until her death in 1850. Their box graves are each covered with marble slabs. They read:

Here you see the management screen for one of my Anthologize projects. As new blog posts are written, they can be added to the project by simply dragging them from the posts panel on the left to the appropriate location within the project. I can add new sections – called Parts – and drag articles to it. Any of these articles can be dragged up or down to re-order them. To get a look at how a section flows, click the Preview link on the section bar. You’ll see a “draft” view in un-styled HTML. This will make it easy to see how the stories flow from one to another.
Next, you can adjust the title, add text for a dedication and acknowledgements if you are so inclined and choose a format for your publication. The RTF (rich text format) option will generate a document that can then be opened and edited in your word processor. This is especially useful if you plan to publish using a service like Lulu and need to format it for a specific book size and binding. As I mentioned earlier, this format needs work – as does the PDF format.
The recipe is beautifully formatted – and that format can be adjusted to work within my blog’s theme – and includes all the content items I’d want to have in a recipe. This example is the default style which is perfect for my theme. The recipe can be located at any point within the post. I can even customize things like the titles used in the format. For example, I changed the default “Recipe Type” title to “Category”.
Let’s start with the dashboard. Notice the Screen Options button at the top right of the screen. Click it to display your options. Select the items you want to appear on the dashboard and how many columns you want to use in your display. I prefer two. Note that this example is from a hosted WordPress site. The options may be different on your site – especially if you are using plugins. Once you’ve made your selection, click Screen Options again to collapse the pane.
In addition to choosing the items you want to display on your screens, you can also re-arrange them to suit you. Just click on the header of the box you want to move and drag it to the new position. As you start moving things, you’ll notice empty boxes appear on your screen. These are possible drop points for the box you are moving. Boxes can be moved up or down within a column or across columns.
