Default I am nervous about this....

Jim we need to talk, I will send you a pm before I go much further....

Members of TRS, goto http://quiztrs.weebly.com/ it is a cheesy 4 question T/F test I put up in an attempt to make a TRS Quiz here for us. Makg, and all other Techs here, please submit one question (at least) a week to me (pm) and i will try and have the official questions up and it will grade you, you also have the option in publishing your grade.

You must click on the file <whatever>flash.swf, I have not figured this website building out yet, this is my first and I just put it together 5 minutes ago. The <whatever> area is where I would like to call these quizzes something like: TRSQuiz1flash.swf, then TRSQuiz2flash.swf, and so on.

What do you guys think? I would like Jim's permission to use the logo here and totally make this for us TRS members only, and nothing more, if he wants access to the site he has it, username\password. I do not want anything else than knowledge here, I learn website building skills, and we all get the quizzes we yearn for. I may sometimes use a previous question in a different way, I can make T/F, fill in the blank, Matching, sequence and word blanks.

I hope this is good news to all and becomes a big hit. I want nothing more than you guys to enjoy this great site we have all found, and I ask also, that you vote for this site every time you come in, thank you,
