Do you have a website where you post your Scratch projects? Do you hate the link that always appears at the bottom of the project titled: "learn more about this project!"? I hate it because it links the project back to the Scratch website and completely ruins my fun of pretending I'm 100 times more accomplished than I really am. It shows that to make my games, I'm using a program designed for five-year-olds. That's why I like to get rid of it (sorry Scratch Team). Here is how to simply due a little bit of HTML editing to remove that obnoxious link.

For example, I am going to use my project, Neapolitan's Ice Cream

The HTML for this project is:

Code:

<applet id='ProjectApplet' style='display:block' code='ScratchApplet' codebase='http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc' archive='ScratchApplet.jar' height='387' width='482'><param name='project' value='../../static/projects/-GizzardGulp-/1375060.sb'></applet> <a href='http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/-GizzardGulp-/1375060'>Learn more about this project</a>

In order to remove the link, simply delete the last part of the code that says:

Code:

<a href='http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/-GizzardGulp-/1375060'>Learn more about this project</a>

Your new HTML should look as follows:

Code:

<applet id='ProjectApplet' style='display:block' code='ScratchApplet' codebase='http://scratch.mit.edu/static/misc' archive='ScratchApplet.jar' height='387' width='482'><param name='project' value='../../static/projects/-GizzardGulp-/1375060.sb'></applet>

And that's how you do it! Enjoy! smile

The Scratch Team puts that there to get more people exposed to the site so that they all know what it's about. It gets them more users, and therefore they can make the site larger with a bigger community.

I disagree with how you say Scratch is an easy language to learn, and people will think you're less experienced if they know this. If they already appreciate your project enough to click the link to see where it came from, I don't think that anybody will think of you any less. I'm quite sure they'll be more interested in Scratch than knowing that your project (might be) easier than it looks. They'll still be impressed by you, and will probably check out your projects as well, giving you more views.

Maybe you don't like it, but I think it's a fine feature. wink

PS. This probably belongs in the "Suggestions" forum.(:

It doesn't really belong in the suggestion forum because I'm not suggesting to the Scratch Team that they change this.

Thanks for the input
