Creating puzzles and jigsaws

Hi

I have put up a post to a free site called Jigsawplanet that enables you to create some free puzzles on any image file, bit picture or text, you have. Here are two examples, one of an image, the other of a simple text. You can make the puzzles easier than this. The site allows you to choose the level of difficulty.

Lisibo talks!

It's been a long time since I posted anything on Talkabout - and that makes me sad as I started blogging here and don't want to neglect a community that I have always valued so much and always wholeheartedly recommend when i'm sharing.

So i thought I'd cross post a couple of things from my blog - ¡Vámonos! that you might have missed!… Continue
