Aaagh! Re: [Clipart] new site design in progress

[Jon Phillips]

Cool man!!! You rock majorly!

I got daniel stone to install image magick, but I think you mean the
perl wrapper around that.

Did you see my makeThumbnail script in the screenshots folder (it is
simple)...it would be cool to attach this to the work you've done to
automate the creation of thumbnails...

Yes, I went ahead and commented those items out in the menu...a flurry
of changes I made.

OKAY, I got Daniel Stone to install perl support for image::magick, so
now your script should work.

ROCK!

All these little site tools are sweet that we have rocking.

We should make a wishlist of tools. We need some stats tool to list
stats for our project sometime here soon to chart progress. I added a
little mini-fake-stats in the lefthand side of the searchbar that could
utilize some function calls in php to some form of stats...
