EDIT: Oh, and to help Mac users, where you wrote:

I recommend you also copy the SCRATCH.EXE file....

could you add SCRATCH.APP too? Not that I'm complaining, I just think It would look and work better.

i could add that, but it might confuse windows users too. plus, i'm nt sure about the files and plugins that Mac uses 

LS97, on Mac it is EXACTLY the same as Windows, except Scratch.exe is Scratch.app. If you look carefully in the Browser, you can find Mac code! 

Summary
Squeak image, changes, and sources files are platform-independent (if that's the right word).

Yay! My first post with LOADS of BBCode! 

Do you know how to add a custom logo?

See here.

I am using the source code, so no.

Maybe you wouldn't mind posting tutorials here when I've fixed the site?

Please help me I am developing....

Yes. Export it and name it "default.sprite" and place in the costumes folder. 

:that only changes it until you remove it.

What do you mean?

This is looking very good! You appear to have forgotten to mention that whenever you set a variable to something new, a period is required at the end of the line. This is very important, you get a syntax error without it so you should make a point of reminding people to include it! In declaring variables, I would add something along the lines of "arguments (spaces on the block that users can change (e.g. type in)) automatically declare variables to themselves so that if you have a block with three arguments the variables t1, t2 and t3 will already have been created.". You could also point out that variables can be declared made up of any string without spaces in it so that variables can be more conveniently named and I think that spaces before the first and after the last variables you declare are not necessary so you should be able to do |t1 t2 t3| rather than | t1 t2 t3 |

I may have just grasped completely the wrong end of the stick as my smalltalk knowledge is limited to coding blocks so the syntax elsewhere may be different.

About the defining variables, I think not using spaces just adds them.

I'm thinking it might be a cool idea to allow users to contribute sections to this guide. You could then make the first post the home post with links to chapters and if you think that a submitted piece of work is correct you can link it up to the home post or ask for changes to be made or just ignore it! I think Wikifying this thread to an extent so that viewers can ask to make a change to a post or add a post might be just what this place needs! There are a lot of squeak tutorials around - bringing them together into one concise dictionary of helpful instructions would benifit everyone!

Why not make a real wiki? 

Then again, could it be made part of the actually scratch wiki?

Sounds good. I don't appear to be able to log in to Scratch Wiki... I created an account to make the Panther page, but I can't seem to get in or email a new password.

I've tried every password I've ever used...

Changed computers since I made the account...
