Hi Steve the Techie:
I think you have some neat ideas to update our website. I am having problems adding the Word of the Day widget. Can you tell me how to add that.
I clicked on the link in your article, copied the source, created a new page, and pasted the source into source. But it does not seem to be working. Thanks.

I just went to your website, loaded the relevant page, and the widget works fine for me...
Did you forget to refresh your cache to force the change to "take"?

Interesting... by sheer coincidence another person PM'd me about the exact same widget. B)

BTW, if you don't like the word that the widget proposes for today, you can hit the little red left pointing arrow at the bottom left of the widget to scroll back through prior words of the day. You will notice when you do this that a right pointing arrow shows up that lets to move back and forth through prior proposed words of the day.

Another cool tool... Virtual speech timers that can be linked into your website:

Something that RogerM made me aware of...

The following shows how to create a link to your club's DCP scoreboard that you can include in your website:

Very nice...

Another way to get the Word of the Day is just to link to the following page:
