Internet Explorer 6 is really not a good browser and 7 is just passable. At least 7 can read .png files which earlier explorer browsers can not. It just so happens that I'm using a lot of .png files in this site going forward. I checked out the forums with IE6 today and about choked on my lunch... Not good!</p> <p>I recommend downloading <a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/">FireFox</a>. It is very secure, it is fast, it supports the latest technologies, it is open source, supported by thousands of designers, and it is supported by the &quot;not for profit&quot; Mozilla foundation (or so they say). </p> <p>What Mozilla has publicly stated: <blockquote>The common thread that runs throughout Mozilla is our belief that, as the most significant social and technological development of our time, the Internet is a public resource that must remain open and accessible to all. With this in mind, our efforts are ultimately driven by our mission of encouraging choice, innovation and opportunity online.</blockquote></p> <p><strong><br /> Plus, using FireFox will make the Atheneum site look better!</strong> </p> http://www.atheneum.org/forums/topic.php?id=8#post-11 Tue, 03 Feb 2009 05:43:55 +0000 TedC 11@http://www.atheneum.org/forums/ <p>For those of you that want to upload an avatar, I would like to recommend: <a href="http://en.gravatar.com/">Gravatar!</a></p> <p>As long as the email you register with them is the same as the one you're using here, you will have an avatar.

So Much Thanks to Ted Collins for reconstructing and designing our new look! Ted has been supporting and helping Atheneum School since its conception. Even before this, he was involved in seminars at Steller School in the 80's when we were first getting started. He participated in the very serious seminar class at Steller that inspired us to go forward with the Paideia Project and eventually Atheneum School!

We need more students to achieve our goal of purchasing or leasing a building of our own next year. Also, our program works best with one class of 10-15 students at each grade level. Please think of all your acquaintances or friends whose children are unchallenged, wasting time, or just not working in other schools! We have classics and cutting edge technologies most relevant for our times of change. Dialogue is emerging as the important skill for everyone, including our new President. Where else can students daily practice the conversation that transcends the issues and creates ideas better than either competing side? what other school gives such an opportunity to study renewable energies and discusses all possible energy solution for our critical future? Please ask people to call or visit; we can do the rest! Let's provide more students with an Atheneum education. Be sure to ask if you have questions about the school or how to talk to people about enrollment, thank you, Kevin </p> http://www.atheneum.org/forums/topic.php?id=2#post-2 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:03:21 +0000 TedC 2@http://www.atheneum.org/forums/ <p>Well, after a lot of unnecessary work (I have a nasty habit of leaping before I look), we have the forums I wanted from the beginning. Luckily, we didn't have much activity yet on the previous, so the migration was swift and painless! </p> <p>What is cool about BBpress?</p> <p>It is totally integrated with our Atheneum site, so you only have to log in once. BBpress is coded smart, which means it will have a very fast bandwidth! It will run lean and mean, so the Atheneum site will have a light footprint while still delivering its big message! There are a lot more pro's, so check them out at: <a href="http://bbpress.org" rel="nofollow">http://bbpress.org</a></p> <p>What is not so cool?</p> <p>The only 'not cool' thing about BBpress, is that it is still in its alpha stage, so there might be some bumps along the way. But hang tight, it will be worth it. Not a lot of sites (overall) running with a fully integrated BBpress/Wordpress front-end out there, so we're on the cutting edge!</p> <p>Enjoy! </p>
