Thanks for your suggestions about the RSS feed last week. Just had a question and was wondering if you had any tips. I have the RSS feed URL (see below) that I created via googlenews, but I can't seem to get it to show up on my site (coldwarmemory.com). I want to place it on the Resources page and tried to embed the link and turned on the RSS widget via my dashboard. Any suggestions? Would appreicate it! http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&ned=us&hl=en&q=berlin+wall+OR+memory+OR+stasi+OR+nazi+OR+anniversary&output=rss Hi Trevor,

The fire bug plugin has been AWESOME! Unfortunately I still haven't figured out how to do the image logo thingy..... I have my meeting with Jeremy, so hopefully I will get that resolved today.

It really surprised me how far it came from the first glimpse I got of it in Clio 1 to the first design ideas in Clio 2, and now this. I think the new header is perfect in color, font, proportion and idea. The different layouts (home page, index of games (scrollable, I assume, through the whole collection?), and then the page of info on each game, are well designed in color and font. I agree there is a lot going on in each one, but the design makes sense. The rust-colored bars keep everything clearly delineated, and the relative weight given to the bars, the font, and the text size makes it work. While I am not a fan of word clouds, it does play a meaningful role in giving an overview of the games available on the site. I hope this site becomes a reality because teachers will LOVE it. Great job, and thanks for your help without snickering on my stuff. I think Trevor’s design is outstanding now.
