Media

I was reading in an old public domain dictionary that 'donkey riding' had a special meaning. I forgot what it was, but I found another one that might be the same, which says it means cheating with weights and measures, or miscounting. That might fit with the song, since it does seem to be about people making off with goods or money (in good conscience or not).

I just wanted to point this out since I don't see anyone else on the Internet pointing out the old secret or slang meaning for 'donkey riding'.

The version of the song I'm familiar with is by St. John Children's Choir in Children S Sing-A-Long Favorites, disc 2 track 8. There are a lot of cool songs on that album that I hadn't heard in other large collections of nursery rhymes, childrens' songs, and such.

One alternative is that the donkey riding could represent peace (but nursery rhymes tend to be about satirical political things, if what people say is the truth):

Or it could be literal!

Media has incredible power. A large part of this power is the power to stimulate interest in activities in both children and adults. For instance, if you watch a lot of shows where the characters dance, and admirably so, you might just get more interested in dancing youself. The same goes for pretty much any interest. Many of the children's shows out there do a really good job at inspiring interests (e.g. dancing, gymnastics, singing, playing, toys and similar, reading, imagination, rescuing animals, pets, horses, horse performances, being a hero, helping others, being a good person, fashion, designing things, socializing, parties, decorating, being a good friend, making friends, showing love, combat sports, being kind, sacrificing to help others, loyalty, art, computer programming, mechanics, engineering, troubleshooting, babysitting, environmentalism, cooking, gardening, acting, writing, healing / being a doctor, etc.)

I exhort media authors to use this to enrich the world, by inspiring new, good hobbies and interests in consumers of their content.

You'll notice that I listed several virtues in my examples above. However, not only do I exhort you to inspire virtues in consumers, I also exhort you to use virtues to improve the enjoyment, impact, and quality of the media, as well as to leave the consumer feeling good. For instance, shows with the virtue of love in them (from the characters) tend to be more interesting, heart-warming, emotional, impacting, and memorable than similar shows that don't. They also help to inspire these virtues in the listeners, given admirable traits in those who use them (granted, virtues are admirable traits in and of themselves).

Consider these virtues:
* Love
* Charity
* Service
* Willingness to learn
* Humility
* Skill
* Joy
* Happiness
* Calmness
* Peace
* Patience
* Faith
* Belief
* Work ethic
* Perseverance
* Persistance
* Care
* Loyalty
* Fidelity
* Romantic love (yes, I consider that a virtue, too, although in a young children's work, you may want to showcase it with the adults, such as parents, rather than the young characters; but this suggestion isn't particularly for children's things)
* Problem solving
* Puzzle solving
* Strategizing
* Cleanliness
* Lack of complaining
* Comedy
* Longsuffering
* Goal-achieving
* Beauty (beauty, as a virtue need not be physical, although it can be, in more ways than can be captured in a photograph)
* Teaching
* Learning / education
* Understanding (others, the planet, animals, nature, science, cuktures, organizations, etc.)
* Expressing virtue where you could have or would have used a vice
* Creativity
* Devotion
* Resourcefulness
* Using what people offer you (instead of habitually declining in search of something better; this is virtuous in that it allows others to be of service, shows love to them, helps them feel valued, and allows you to realize that the grass is green enough right where you are, and that searching for greener pastures sometimes just wastes time that you could be using to actually do something productive, even if you think you could come up with something better)
* Grace (helping others with love and care for them despite their weaknesses, and despite how undeserving they are)
* Forgiveness

… and so on.

This is a great, configurable app, so far. I just got it a few hours ago or so. You can even change the pitch of the beep, and configure what it says. You can have multiple chime configurations/schedules.

LibriVox.org is my favorite place to find free, public domain, audiobooks. They are read by volunteers. I've volunteered as a narrator, too. The selection is vast, and steadily growing.

Pros:
* Pretty fast and functional on a desktop or laptop.
* You can edit the sidebar on the main gardenweb.com page to make the site easier to navigate. (Please do it as often as desired.)
* There is a wide variety of forums.
* It has a decently large user-base.
* It's been around for a long time.
* They currently allow a lot more slack to the users than before Houzz bought them out. A lot of things were once forbidden that no longer are.
* There's a mobile app for Houzz.
* The registration process is fairly fast.
* Although it requires some enabling, you actually can PM users.
* Email notifications for stuff you post works about as expected.
* You can sort of tag people in posts.
* Posts are indexed by Google.
* The data is public (you don't have to be logged in to see it).
* Has lots of round robins. I've never participated in them, but they have more than any other gardening site, as far as I am aware.
* Seed trading happens.
* You can list your website in your profile.

Cons:
* Has a bunch of bugs on my Kindle Fire HD 8 sixth edition with the Silk web browser. It's very difficult to edit stuff you've already written, because it deletes words after you click away from them. Also, if you take too long writing a post, you have to start over. Sometimes it'll bring back words in your post that you've deleted when you submit your post.
* The forum organization is hard for many people to navigate.
* The name of the forum you're looking for might not be intuitive. For instance, if you want the tomato forum, look for 'Growing Tomatoes'.
* If you want people to be able to PM you, you have to enable that feature.
* Email notifications for thread comments don't email you the full thing (it's truncated).
* Email notifications for PMs don't tell you what they said.
* It's kind of hard to find past PMs if there are no PMs in your recent notification list.
* Tagging people in posts is difficult to do properly.
* A lot of users are confused about how to use the site.
* The mobile app really isn't usable for regular Gardenweb use, but it's fine for participating in threads you've recently posted in.
* There's no dedicated watermelon forum.
* There's no dedicated sweet pepper forum.
* Quoting other users isn't super easy.
* There are neither mini-profiles nor signatures.

Neutral factors:
* It has a clean and simple professional look and feel. Nothing too overwhelming about the color scheme or fonts.
* Threads are not threaded. I consider this a con, but most forums these days aren't threaded.
* Avatars in threads are tiny.
* You can mask your username with a changeable name.
* Has Ideabooks (which are basically like personal posts that show up on your profile; they can be public or private, and you can invite people to them)
* The larger Houzz community is pretty commercial-oriented.
* Some forums can have a strong (and historically competitive) Q/A focus.
* Some people Tomato enthusiasts who used Gardenweb were disaffected with it (a while before Houzz took over), and started a new site called Tomatoville, which became very popular (Tomatoville is currently scheduled to go down, however).
* Advertising on Gardenweb used to be super annoying before Houzz took over.
* Page loads became faster after Houzz took over.
* When Houzz took over, lots of people complained, and more people left (but it seems to have been building back up). I think the navigation changes were probably the primary issue, but I could be wrong.
