I'm going to take a look at Google Sites and wordpress today and see which one is best.

Would it be accessible by anyone? We'd probably want parents to be able to read it and such. I thought sharepoint was more of a cloud storage type thing?

I can't confirm if they are all using Office 365. I would imagine that they are, however our Office 365 is controlled by County. Will this potentially have an effect? The answer is yes...

Hi guys, my headteacher has asked me about implementing several blogs for a cluster of schools to add to. I was thinking about hosting the blogs on our website, but with the Jotter 2 software, I think we are limited with permissions. I can give a user blog permissions, but they will be able to add to any blog! Which isn't ideal. I've asked WebAnywhere for a solution, but I'm not optimistic about it! There are going to be 6 blogs for Year 1 through 6 and about 19 schools will be writing to them. Each school will have a single log in and have access to all 6 blogs. SO... is there a site that is child friendly and not on the big bad internet that I could create a blog? I guess I could do wordpress and buy a domain name, but that seems a little excessive for what they need. Also I have a feeling it won't really get used... BRAINSTORM TIME!

mine always go on the heel first! I need some new socks. Thanks for reminding me!!

The one that comes with my phone lasts me forever. Dat HTC quality tho

Sausage Party. Glad I didn't watch it at the cinema. How awks is the bit at the end???

Yeah it's because the value of the pound has plummeted. Kinda to be expected really. Sucks!

Nope! Not gonna ruin anything by watching!

chances are I've deleted that e-mail! I wonder if they will send another?

Dayum... I already subscribed. I wonder if I accidentally blocked their e-mail when going through my junk folder...

I have to use IE on the server (2008 R2) because anything newer won't connect due to security certificate nonsense.

Ahhh ok I'll download it when I get home... unlessssss.... yeah can't download it in school because they use a shortened URL. Anyone got the full URL download link?

OMG YES! How do I get it? Steam? How do I stream on my laptop? Twitch? PC gamer n00b.

I'm not massively overweight to be honest, but need to drop a little bit. I'm finding that an incentive is really good for me. Health wasn't good enough hahahah!

turned out they had been sat in the entrance hall for a day and a half! Ooops!

Right well Sunday everything came to a head. I ate some cake and it made me feel so sick I decided I had to make changes! I've been eating well this week and I've been going to a couple of classes and I went back to the gym, which wasn't as bad I was expecting. I have an incentive, which is if I get down to a 30" waist we can go snowboarding for a weekend. Like, proper abroad and stuff. I saw the dietitian yesterday and she told me I had to avoid lactose and honey for the next 2 weeks to see how my symptoms fare. Hopefully all this will go to plan. Husband has actually been supportive and not suggesting dirty takeaways.

So frustrating! I could understand if it were like 100 of the damn things, but only 18!!

I ordered 18 iPad Air 2's like... 2 weeks ago now. They still aren't here. Is anyone else struggling to get hold of Apple kit at the moment? Or have I to give my supplier a kick?

All is working dandy now!!

I've been playing with the do while loops.

So things are working now... (thanks @jwinters !) but this swap function, continuously swaps the values on a 4x4 grid... so I think I need to put a do while loop in there, so it only does the swap once at the beginning. Would you agree with that? Or is there a better solution?

Right I'm trying to figure out how to stop the counter at (d*d) - 1.... so currently it checks the first tile is 1, second is 2.. if it isn't it returns false. Then if the last square is 0 returns true.... This is the winning combination: /** * Returns true if game is won (i.e., board is in winning configuration), * else false. */ bool won(void) { int counter; counter = 1; //itterate through numbers, checking them for (row = 0; row < d; row++) { for (col = 0; col < d; col++) { if (board[row][col] != counter) { return false; counter++; } if ((counter == (d*d)) && (board[row][col] == 0)) { return true; } } } return true; }

yeah the swap works. Just the win bit to sort out and I'm golden. I can't thank you guys enough for all of your help. @elsiegee40 @witch I'm trying to send big rep to @Steve21 for helping me, but it won't let me! Please could you guys do it for me

deleted the two lines at the beginning and OMG IT WORKS!
