That logo was a brilliant idea, Deidre. It certainly makes it easier to spot fellow Rootschatters.

Thanks; i'm sure someone else would have had the same idea  ;D

But yes, esp as most are using 'real' names.

:)  ;D

To download the "I go on RootsChat" image you can just click on this link here:

http://www.rootschat.com/links/01h9o/

You'll then find it in your "Downloads" folder of your web browser, so you can probably then drag it with your mouse to the profile picture on FutureLearn.

Thank you Trystan  :)

Now I am feeling guilty as I have just swapped from Deirdre's to your logo.  ::)    ;)

Me too ::) :-\ ;D  But it was a brilliant idea...

All I did was copy Deidre's idea I wouldn't have thought of it, she's has indeed come up with a great idea! Her idea goes on!

That certainly was a brilliant idea. Someone (probably from here  ;D) has just followed me and when I looked at who else she was following all 17 had the RC logo.  ;D ;D

I've just added the logo to my FL profile too :D

Taking it very slowly, trying to take in some new terminology :-\

I don't mind; I didn't know if we could use an official RootsChat logo so just came up with my own (it only took 2 mins, and then another 2 when I changed it ;D as the first one was too small).

Trystan's is much more identifiable with the site  :)

No disrespect intended Deirdre... I have just changed mine to Trystans, as so many other RC'ers seem to have changed theirs... and it makes it easier to spot people!

I've just picked up the 2 suggested Course Books from the Library here, and will try to skim through them later.
