I've created a study guide for one of the HEO books.  What would be the best way to make it available to all?  I don't do dropbox, etc.  Is there a way to post it on the forum? One thought has been to create a thread for study guides within each form, rather like the Ourselves discussion threads that are in…the Teen forum, I think. Any thoughts?

I've tried multiple times, on multiple devices, in multiple ways, to update the CMOpenHouse blog thread (for the scheduling) but it is not letting me update it.
Help, please!

I would like to move the grid schedules into Google Sheets to make it easier for us to update them (only one format to update each time instead of three) and for you all to access them.  But before I make that change for all the schedules, I want to be sure it really works for people!

I've moved a few of the charts over already, and I'd like people to access them.  I have some questions:
* Can you edit them at the link I provide?  (I hope the answer is 'no.')
* Can you copy them to your own account and edit them there?
* Can you print them? 
* How do they look when you print them straight from the link I provide?

And of course any other feedback you'd like to offer.

Hi. Apparently I need to enable pms. Someone has sent me one and I can't access it. I've been to my user cp but I can't work out how I might do that. Can you help? Thanks x

Is there a place on the forum to let the AA know about mistakes on the website/PDF charts?  I thought I had seen a running thread once, but maybe I dreamed it?

Is this information that would be of use to the AA or whomever it is who does the incredible under-the-hood work of the AO website?

Hi, I've hear there is a section for parents with chronic health concerns. Can someone please direct me how to apply to be in that group? Thanks!

The link is broken on both the yr 11 page and the 9-11 in 2 yrs

Anyone know what good links to use? 

TIA

I don't know where else to ask, so I am asking here -- I find again that my post to the Ambleside Online e-list is not going through.  As the post concerns the Perseid Meteor shower which is happening Now, it's important that the information gets out in a timely manner if people are to observe this phenomenon with their families.  I have been on this e-list for years, so this shouldn't be a problem.  And the e-list is the best way of getting out timely information.

I hope someone can take care of this.  Thanks

I was just answering a post, but the system didn't let me. it was in General questions and it says it's moved, but it does not say where it was moved and a search does not bring up anything. Thanks, Friederike

I am trying to find and join the special needs group. I have cell phone access only. I am using a Droid if that makes a difference.

What on earth is that url thingy in my signature?  It doesn't show up when I go to edit my sig... Help!

Are the AO poetry anthologies DRM protected? I want to know if I can buy the kindle book and convert it for my Nook.

We’ve all been enjoying the after-glow of the AO At Home Retreat. It was a glorious time, and everyone knows that such a magnificent experience is not the work of any single pair of hands, but the cumulative efforts of many willing hearts and hands. The AO Advisory and Auxiliary want to gratefully thank and acknowledge everyone who was a part of making the retreat a blessed experience.


In no particular order, we’d like to thank...

Wendi (and her whole family), who in the midst of a family crisis, opened her home and her three gigantic, over-stuffed freezers, and said, "there you are, see you later" so she could be with her daughter at the hospital. How many people can accommodate some 15 houseguests? 
We thank the Capehart family (especially Bill) for generally looking after a number of mundane yet essential details.

The list is too long, but everyone who pitched in and helped with meals and cleanup at the Capeharts, and especially Megan who once did it all by herself, and it was beautiful (sorry Megan), and Naomi, who also once did it by herself.

Everyone who prayed for Grayson, Wendi’s grandson. Your prayers are being answered and he’s doing well.

Jeanne for using her catering experience to oversee the snacks and meals.

Lani, Anne, and Melisa for making heaps of delicious cookies.

Katie for baking brownies and making the church smell good, and Diana Mueller for adding almond-flour brownies to the stash, so there was an abundance of tempting brownies.

Jen for sharing the Cameroonian coffee...that was a hit.

Bill Capehart, and Kathy Wickward and Melisa for generously driving the AA back and forth from the Chicago airports.

Some of our children, Miriam and Miranda and Will who helped every time they were asked (and we asked a lot), even when it involved minnows. And Laura Jane, who took a day off from work and worked for us instead (mostly in the kitchen).

Cindy Rollins for speaking on short notice, and giving us so much, in Lynn's absence.

Cindy and Jeannette Tulis, both, for also playing chauffeur (they picked Will up from football practice!) and running errands.

Jeanne and Phyllis and Jeannette for gathering flowers and prickly blackberry vines, and arranging them so that it looked as if we'd spent a fortune at the florist's.

The moderators who worked hard to make others feel welcome and to build relationships and bond.

Everyone who prepared a presentation and spoke at a plenary or breakout, feeding the hearts of the attendees. We can’t leave out any of them:

Kathy Livingston Jewels of Astonishing Worth (Preschool)
Lani Siciliano Developing the Literate Child: Integrated Language Arts
Christy Hissong Respecting Persons and Time (Scheduling the CM Way)
Dawn Duran Swedish Drill in a Charlotte Mason Home School
Amy Tuttle Finding Treasure in Letters, Words, and Stories (Teaching Reading)
Anne White The Habit of Living Books
Jeanne Webb with Kathy Wickward Implementing AO Science
Naomi Goegan Nature Study - To See A World in a Grain of Sand
Wendi Capehart and Nicole Ramsey High School and Beyond
Phyllis Hunsucker Charlotte Mason Foreign Languages
Megan Hoyt Forming Vital Relationships with This Year's Composers
Karen Glass Believe in Mind
Cindy Rollins The Habit of Ideas
Donna-Jean Breckenridge Homeschooling from a Hard Place

Donna-Jean, also, for condensing 30 pages of confusing notes and announcements into a combination of warm welcome and stand-up comedy as our front-of-house hostess.

Christy and Megan for being Leslie’s personal drivers from Tennessee.

The Ramsey family--Nicole presented and worked in the kitchen, and Mark spent a long time cleaning the church, as well as entertained on the piano.

Katie (again) for bossing everyone around so efficiently, we got that group photo organized in less than 10 minutes and she made us smile, too.

Everybody who brought examples of nature study books and other school work, including books. Those tables of real-life work were a delight to everyone who looked at them.

Amy Tuttle for introducing and making available her new book, Discover Reading, and Karen for offering advance reader copies of the not-yet-released Mind to Mind.

Lani (and her husband Joe) for preparing the registration folders and printing the schedule, with the cooperation of their work and church.

Melisa (and her husband Gary) for printing the lovely visiting cards, and Christy who hand-lettered (beautifully) some of the name tags.


The Maudlin family, who made the totebags and mugs, and worked graciously with us even when we were still changing the design just a couple weeks before the conference. (Check out their site: http://www.theordinarystore.com/ )

The DeJong family "String Things" for their lovely lunchtime folk music.

Kathy and Melisa for leading the a cappella singing. The hymns and dinner blessing were beautiful!

Lisa Hayes and Karen McArthur for donating some lovely door prizes.

The Townsends for being the most amazing people with all the right sound equipment and a heart to serve. Their sacrificial gift is going to be the means of blessing more people, for more years, than ever were able to be with us for the weekend. (They are also heavily involved with specialty re-enactment materials. You should definitely visit their site: http://www.jas-townsend.com/ . )

Brandy and Lynn, who couldn't attend but were with us in spirit. Brandy designed many of the "At Home" graphics, and Lynn worked on the program and contributed some of the ideas (like the sticky note wall) that added to the atmosphere.

We’d also like to thank...

All who prayed, whether "At Home" with us, or staying by the stuff. This would not have happened without that lifting up.

 Everyone who attended with open hearts and spirits and added to the atmosphere and joy of the event. And all those dads who stayed home with the kids so they were free to come.

Each of you who saw a little need and stepped in and met that need without fanfare or notice. Well, we might not have noticed that at the time, but your contribution was felt and appreciated just the same.

...and above all and always, our Heavenly Father, who gave us more precious times than we can even remember. May he continue to bless the endeavors of AmblesideOnline through us and in us.

Why do car pictures randomly show up in the feed posts. When I open said post of course there are no pictures.

Hi. I was tryng to update my signature and noticed that there's some html code that I can't seem to get rid of.  Can you  help me delete it? I've tried everything, even deleting the reference to the website that the link was set up for.
Thank you!

Is there a way to see the signatures in the Tapatalk app? I feel like I'm missing some info by not seeing them, because posters sometimes refer to info like someone's name, number of children, etc. Thanks!

Have you ever wished you had an AO tote/book bag or AO coffee mug? We'll be making these available at the retreat!

Here's the catch: We have no provisions to mail anything out. Shipping is not available. If you're going to the retreat in July, you can pick up your order there. If not, you'll need to arrange for someone who is going to pick up your order for you and get it to you.

These can be pre-ordered from this link:

I tried to do a search, but can't find an answer.  When I went to look at my "thread subscriptions" to see a certain thread, I found that EVERY thread I've written on is in that list.  Is there a way to only have the threads that I click on the subscribe icon to show up?

Thank you.

........oooohhh, I just saw a thing that I never noticed before a the bottom of this box that says "thread subscription" and looks like it is automatically set to subscribe to them.  Is there a way to change this default without doing it for every post?  am I stuck with all those posts in my thread subscription unless I uncheck each one (which sounds like a horrible use of time)?

The PM space on my account is at 84%. But, I deleted almost all the messages, and the percent used did not decrease.

AmblesideOnline Years 1-12 Booklist

Thanks very much to the AmblesideOnline users who created new versions of our master booklist to inspire us to get a new copy out ourselves!  One of those even formed the basis for this new list, but it's been since edited and carefully revised by myself and several of the moderators to reflect the current book lists.  I fear it is not perfect, but it should be pretty close.

You should be able to copy this to your own Google Drive or download it to your computer or device.  Then you can choose a method of marking which books you already own so you can keep track of what you still need.

Please notice that books used in multiple years will appear on the list with the year in which they are first used.

The column denoting the *earliest* year in which each book is used uses a formula which doesn't convert to Microsoft Excel, so if you download the file as an Excel spreadsheet, that column will no longer function properly.
