Wordpress and the variants on HTML are not programming languages, they are markup languages (hence the ML). They are single function sets of commands for performing a specific task, like laying out a blog.

Programming languages, like MicroWorlds EX, (or Squeak or Java or C++) are designed to allow the user to create a much wider variety of artifacts.

What separates a language like MicroWorlds EX (Logo-based) from other languages is the deliberate design choices embodied in MicroWorlds that creates what Piaget called, “objects to think with.” You can not only make things in MicroWorlds explicitly, but along the way you are likely to learn more powerful ideas as well.

I like the full screen fluid design best but the issue becomes the header. On my screen because I have a larger resolution your header begins to repeat just before the third column. One suggestion might be to create either solid white at both ends and center the header or have a gradient at each end as well.

I saw the transitional header over the weekend and kinda missed the X-wing. Nice to see it back. The entire layout of the new site is great. Very accessible and easy to access all the content you are producing.

Thanks and keep up the great work.

And yes, be sure to check out Stager’s Logo Programming Resources. As a student at Pepperdine Graduate School of Education & Psychology I had the honor of taking two classes from Gary. He’s brilliant. And Lego/Logo is a fantstic tool….a great way for students to learn about collaboration, technology and robotics.

Cheers!
