How to add Jigzone Jigsaws to a Wiki

Kids love jigsaws and when the jigsaw is a photo of themselves, then they love it even more. Some schools don't like to have children's faces on their wikis or blogs so how can you have a jigsaw of your children on a public website?

Cartoonise the photos using Befunky or any other Photo Editing programme (http://delicious.com/sharpjacqui/photoediting)
Then turn that photo into a jigsaw by creating an account at Jigzone

Here are the instructions for embedding Jigsaws from Jigzone into Wikis.

Word Annoyance 'Create your Drawing here'


One of the most annoying things in Word 2003 is when this ‘Create your drawing here’ box appears on your screen. You can remove it forever by going to Tools-Options, click on the General tab

There will be green tick in the Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting Autoshapes
Click in the box to remove the tick and then click OK.

When you go back to Word and insert an object there will be no ‘Create your Drawing here’ box!

Digital Camera Movies and Converting

All digital cameras have a movie recording facility. You can shoot small movies at least 30 secs at a time. Be aware that they can chew up your memory card. Some movie cameras save their movies in AVI format but some will save as Quicktime. Rad Video Tools will convert your Quicktime into AVI. Download the software. Open Rad Tools, find the file to convert, click on Convert a file. Choose AVI from Output type Click Convert. Click OK. Click Done! The movie will be converted into an AVI which can now be imported into a PowerPoint or MovieMaker.
