People can individually change. People can't change each other, they can only help. When this happens (I'll make sure it does :P) people will realise how stupid they've been, and fix things :D People will love nature more, and each other, and it'll be like everything anyone's ever wanted (good people heheh).

Adding Daily Quotes

Log of a discussion with Jing from China, June 20, 2006:

[9:52:40 AM] Odd de Presno says: what about kid quotes? quotes in Chinese of kids living anywhere + quotes in mainland chinese in English or any other language.
[9:53:16 AM] Jing Z says: i don't think we have enough quotes... there are about 30 good ones. but that's far from enough
[9:54:49 AM] Odd de Presno says: quotes need not be so good, just acceptable. importance is daily posting of quotes.same quotes on both the teacher and k portals
[9:55:30 AM] Jing Z says: the point is we can hardly make it "daily"
[9:55:37 AM] Jing Z says: marketings are needed
[9:55:52 AM] Odd de Presno says: I know. see the norwegian and arabic portals. not daily. first, fill the index.html's mid section with most recent quotes, but not more than what fits the page. make a /chinese/general/k/log.html page to list the others. You'll find equivalent pages in arabic, norwegian, english, Spanish .
[9:57:31 AM] Jing Z says: how to add pics
[9:58:24 AM] Odd de Presno says: start with the image of the kid in registration
[9:58:27 AM] Jing Z says: well, so first let me make a /chinese/general/k/logs.html then
[9:58:57 AM] Odd de Presno says: cut out a part of the image to show as much of the key parts of the face as possible, and save it in /chinese/general/k/img
[10:00:01 AM] Odd de Presno says: In frontpage (or whatever), put the cursor before the first character in the first name of the kid, insert the image there. then, change image properties to display the image to the right margin of the quotes column. go back to registration, right click the image, and capture the http://www.kidlink.org/registration/xxxx address of the original (larger) image. make a link from the small image in the quotes column to this address, making the image open in a new window. if you start by making a logs.html page, then you can just copy and past a suitable top part of the listing of quotes into the index.html quotes column.
[10:01:02 AM] Jing Z says: http://www.kidlink.org/arabie/general/log.html do you have a template for this?
[10:02:53 AM] Odd de Presno says: same setup everywhere. copy the english version, "steal" the decoration images at top, translate the "environment", and do your thing.
[10:02:38 AM] Jing Z says: then what is the address for a PRC national flag?
[10:03:18 AM] Odd de Presno says: all flags and their addresses at http://www.kidlink.org/icons/flagdir.html
[10:16:13 AM] Jing Z says: what is the "english" in the intro page for. next to "owner"
[10:16:59 AM] Odd de Presno says: see www.kidlink.org/english/society/jobs/t-portal.html
[10:20:18 AM] Jing Z says: Copyright ® 1990-2008 Kidlink - All rights reserved.
How do other teams deal with this? translate it? keep it English?
[10:20:44 AM] Odd de Presno says: some translate, others do it in English. your decision
