Aziz,

Thanks for the comments.

The site is a Wiki, using the same software as Wikipedia. When a hyperlink is highlighted in red, that means that the person who put the page up thinks that there should be a new page behind that hyperlink, but hasn't put the information in.

If someone then clicks the red link, gets the edit page and puts the information in, when saved the link goes blue and signifies that there is information behind that link.

As Folkopedia is new (12 months) there are still a lot of red links waiting for knowledgeable people to fill in some information.

With respect to 'Garland' - when that section is filled in there will be several definitions. A garland is usually something made of or decorated with flowers, so yes, you're right, it will have been a pillar or basket or wicker cage or similar. Here at home we have a small reproduction of a 'Sailor's Garland' which would have been made to mark the passing/drowning of a sailor or fisherman - a wicker cage in the shape of a buoy, decorated with flowers and with a bell hanging inside.

Maiden's Garlands were made when a young girl died a virgin, and these apparently often had gloves with them. There are several still around but the only one I've ever seen is the one in Trusley Church near Derby.

Then there are Garland dances - as seen with the Bacup Coconut Dancers in Lancashire or some Morris sides.

There are more that I can't bring to mind......
