Introduction
Most of the buttons and links in the images on
the following slides are active. If you click on
them, they will take you to the place you would
go exactly like you are on the web site
http//www.mlmp.org. You can use this slide show
as a basic tutorial. Once finished with this, you
can check out the tutorial site on our web site
at http//www.mlmp.org/tutorial/. This part is
identical to the regular data entry portion
except that the tutorial data arent stored. This
is completely for your practice. Ignore the
Address bar in the images from the browser. This
presentation was made on a local computer. To get
to the appropriate page, substitute www.mlmp.org
in place of localhost. Images with a red line
through them have a piece missing in order to
show the top and bottom. Refer to the web site to
see the entire page.

densities at your site. Youll enter the number
of plants you observed, and the number of
monarchs on these plants. To edit an entry,
select it and click the Edit Monarch Density

the link after selecting the desired monitoring
date. Click on the Results tab at the top to view
graphs of data for this site.

associate milkweed characteristic information
with a date on which you monitored for monarch
density. Select the date and click the Select
button. To go back to the member page, click the
Cancel button

monarchs. These are kept separately for data
mining purposes.
