I think a simple design such as Josh's is ideal to use for all kid facing pages. The school server could benefit from a similar theme. Personally, while I think someone talented (as Josh obviously is) could make a related theme for adults and kids, it is much more important to have a less text-intensive, more kid-friendly face for the target audience, which is kids. One comment on the design itself...perhaps have a thumbnail screenshot of the activity visible for enlargement if available? We could encourage authors to supply one when the activity is submitted.<br>

</div>The various gnome sites such as <a href="http://build.gnome.org" target="_blank">build.gnome.org</a> and <a href="http://www.gnome.org" target="_blank">www.gnome.org</a> are<br>
very nice examples of common theming tying sites together. Some thing<br>
similar for SL would be great.<br>
