Hi Rene,

I've installed a Xampp server on my OS X 10.7.4 (and also on my Windows 7) with a Standard Moodle Package installed on it and find it really easy to use though I'm not a techie person. I copy the online course to my local site and then I create and experiment on new stuff locally and when it's OK add it to my online live site.  I either just upload zipped files, or I make a backup of the local site with just the new stuff and then add it to the online course being careful to use Restore with the "Current course, adding data to it" option. I'm also careful to keep the online and the local sites identical.

Not sure if the above is going to make sense to you.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Mary,

We punctuation freaks suffer so, don't we? Except when we're reading Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss, then I, at any rate, enjoy myself no end.

Quote: "Truss dedicates the book "to the memory of the striking Bolshevik printers of St. Petersburg who, in 1905, demanded to be paid the same rate for punctuation marks as for letters, and thereby directly precipitated the first Russian Revolution"; she added this dedication as an afterthought after finding the factoid in a speech from a librarian.^[1] Wikipedia

Cheers,

Glenys

PS: Didn't know what a factoid was before - love it!

Hi Ben,

I can confirm that the Moodlefairy I met last year at the MiniMoot in Paris looks very like the photo. Now, how to test if it was the real one - well first, what is reality?

Cheers,

Hi Mary,

First of all, it's really nice to see the real you.

While you're waiting for an answer from someone more techie than me, just a couple of suggestions you've probably already thought of: do you have any ad blockers and other addons on your browsers? Have you tried deactivating them. Have you contacted your host? Or looked on their forums?

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Deborah,

I went and looked at your exercises on Gordon's site (I couldn't access them on yours - at least, not without doing all the preceding exercises  ) and both of the Find-it!s were variations I've never used. Thanks for the inspiration.

Cheers,

Glenys
