Thanks for that, it has been corrected. Also are there any release notes 
for this version? I don't remember it being released and we aught to 
post a news article that the new version is out.

Had you checked that recently? It was linked to tuxtype several weeks 
ago, but that was corrected as soon as I got the email from... maybe 
David? I double checked when I modified the download pages a bit, but 
all the links were still to Tuxmath.

Great idea, thanks again, that has been corrected, check out the 
download pages.

Actually the code that we are using for the site IS in the htdocs and 
has been since we went live. I thought I had deleted everything in the 
newsitetest folder, but maybe svn put it back, or maybe I thought I did 
and didn't really. Either way it is fine to delete what is in the 
newsitetest folder.

Very true, as I understood it, the group wanted to give tuxmath and 
tuxtype their own site to add some distinction. If we make them look 
more like each other that would be fine, but then we'll lose the themes. 
Just let me know what you guys want, either way is fine for me.

The link "About Tux4Kids" links to the tux4kids homepage, I'm not sure 
how to make it any easier. Let me know if you have suggestions for a 
different menu item or different wording.

Well, I don't think it is all THAT hard, lol, but again, any suggestions 
I can get are helpful. Are the other admins of the same mind? While 
building the site it was hard to get any feedback, so we keep working on 
the site trying to make it better as we go.
