General embedded google calender with twitter feed at bottom. Would love to make the font size larger but not sure if this is possible.
@titch - Do you make your own layout templates? I havent used XIBO for a while but gonna look at it again for my new school. Last time I just picked a template from the template exchange site. This time Id like to attempt to create my own but not sure how easy it is.
It is just a case of creating an image at the correct dimensionsOriginally Posted by fiza
Was never very good at art! I have good ideas but no skill!
neither am i!! In principle its fairly easy to do, in practice not!!
Run a competition with the kids! Its how my old school used to put photo's up each year! They had a photocompetition and the top 10/15 won prizes and had their picture framed and put up!

How did you get the larger photo from Nat Geo's RSS feed?
Curious, I like this idea.
Yep. Just find the resolution of your screen then create a background in your favorite picture editor. Save as JPEG then upload to zibo as a background. Have attached all my backgrounds.Backgrounds.zip
