The Society for the study of flies (Diptera)

Bear with, I'm just writing various pieces and  these links need to be put here first as links don't work from paper. All will become clear in the Bulletin.

How to share species data through the NBN Gateway
I told Steve Crellin I'd record the steps I took to uploading datasets to the NBN Gateway (I've 3 on the go).
This won't make a lot of sense until the Bulletin is available, the steps are linked to text in the article.
D. Here's the relevant page on NBN website that deals with the methodology after one has sorted, checked and rechecked the dataset within a copy of Recorder: http://www.nbn.org.uk/Share-Data/Provid … klist.aspx
(so much chit chat there but this page is the nitty gritty of where to send it, read all the other stuff too Steve)
