[FM Discuss] Pretty good PDF for Make Your Own Sugar Activities!

[adam]

looks pretty cool to me :)

there are a few stylistic things that you may wish to consider or
discard...
* i think headings (h1) look better in the chapter if they fit on one
line. So maybe consider shortening the headings eg " A Standalone Python
Program For Reading Etexts" could be "A Python EText Reader" etc...or
reduce the h1 font size
* I also think a heading (h2) directly under a h1 doesnt look so
hot...just a personal preference (the same chapter also has this)

any chance you could write up a nice how-to on creating the divs etc for
the booki blog? :)
