Hi Jenora, Thank you so much! This is really helpful. I do want to look at a sequence of months and can certainly run the annual numbers to reduce the effect of wet/dry season variability. I'm curious, how did you run the water usage analysis with just August? I guess I could modify the dates so that they are sequential but actually representative of the dry months (for example, if I only wanted July and August, I could modify my data as july 2001, august 2001, september 2001 (really july 2002), october 2001 (really august 2002). Is that what you have seen before? ... View more

I guess another way to ask this question is, how do you deal with known high and low value patterns in a dataset? I know that there will be high values of fire during certain months and was hoping to compare just those months, but maybe there is another way to account for this. Has anyone else had to deal with known high/low value patterns in your datasets? ... View more

Hi Evan, Sorry I didn't use the right terminology for online maps - when  I said base layers, I meant that I had some contextual layers that would not be the highlight of the map. I made a story map to highlight grant success stories, and wanted to have 5 different point layers for our 5 grant types as a background, contextual layer to be displayed along with the story map points. I used html and created a legend in illustrator that I then just stuck into the map's description. I understand wanting simplicity for the story map template, but legends are so incredibly important. I'm a little surprised that a legend isn't at least an option for this template. ... View more

It sounds like your links are corrupted, but just wanted to add that I've had luck creating a large and thumbnail version of my photos with the map tour. As taken from the map tour readme doc, the large photo should ideally be 1000x750 pixels, and the thumbnail should be 140x93. I just cropped my photos by using a 10x7.5/3x2 ratio and resized in photoshop. I think there is quite a bit of wiggle room for sizes, but this ensures your photos will look good on a variety of monitor sizes. Good luck! ... View more

Hi Jay - Thank you for responding to my post. You are right, my polygon trim was set to 100 meters. Is there is typical trim distance that people use? ... View more
