So, I do have a spreadsheet of my fossil/cast specimens. It’s got over 700 entries, and I know I’ve missed a few. There’s about 800 actual items in my museum, though some have the same accession number (because no way on this good earth am I number each individual Carpocyon bone…there’s over twenty of those).
Here’s the problem.
I started the spreadsheet when I was at my old school, using that Google account. That account is listed as ‘owner,’ while my personal one is just an editor.
Guess which account no longer exists?
Guess who finally figured out how to insert images in cells, got about a hundred done, and then realized she was using the wrong spreadsheet, aka, not the copy she made where she is the owner?
Ding Ding! This gal!
Cue internal cursing and mentally yelling words that I dare not type here.
On the bright side, it’s going much smoother since I started over again, and I have the process a bit more down pat. Now, if only I could get the images to fill the cell. I’m sure there’s a way to do so, but I’m not the most tech-savvy person out there. Hopefully I’ll have the whole catalog done by summer’s end, and a good number of the entries redone as well.
Eff GoDaddy for borking the original website so badly that I had to abandon it. On another plus, I have found that the camera on my phone is lightyears better than the digital camera I used to photograph some of the original entries. It might not hurt to redo those pictures after all.
