@Sparks and others
how about for the glossary we make it link to a sound, for INSTANCE (I love cheesy jokes) instance would be

Re: ITopic: Welcome to your local block library!
Run:
This basically means the block or script is doing what it does. There will be a white line around the blocks when they are running.
Number (argument): A white, oval shaped area in a block where you can type numbers, commas/periods, and the negative sign, but no other keyboard symbols. (Such as the (( )+( )) block.) Here is what can be typed: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -, ,, ..
String: A white, rectangular area in a block where you can type text. (Such as the "say [hello]" block.)

Code:
('freeze Scratch for %n' #- #freeze:)Code:
freeze: t1 t1 = 0 ifTrue: [^self] self freeze: t1-1Note: the block above does not take the numerical value as seconds (10 would be extremely short. On my Mac, I need 1000 or more to register around 0.01-0.02 secs).
The code should be:
freeze: t1
t1 = 0 ifTrue: [^self].
self freeze: t1-1
I get the space low error.
I would make it:
freeze: t1
t1 = 0 ifTrue: [^self].
self freeze: t1-1 *1000
Or something like that.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

Re: ITopic: Welcome to your local block library!
I was thinking, should we make the old Welcome to your local block library the moderator discussion thread? That way there will be more from users of the Block library, rather than librarians asking where to put blocks and shelves.

I added 3 new C blocks in Scratch Control. Hope you all like 'em! And yes they are tested.

Can you make the code for the "link to website" block?

Re: ITopic: Welcome to your local block library!
Either edit the "open Scratch Homepage" block in Scratch control blocks or use the code for block [2] in the Panther part of the library (second block in the control category). It's always a good idea to have a look through the blocks and see if what you're looking for exists!

Alright then. I'll make the about [name] thing. (Edit: Done with that.) Do you think the █ █ █ █ █ █ █ █ thing is fine how it is or needs to be improved? Whose email are we using for Weebly?

Sort of, it is a little different, but you can.

We should make a seperate one, I also have been using it for any post I post with pictures.

That's fine. So a new Weebly account it is! Whose e-mail are we using? Or we could make a new one for the library.
