• To create a procedure eg Square
• Type in 'to square'
• 1st box  = repeat 4 [fd 100 lt 90]
• 2nd box = end 

• To create a variable procedure eg Square 
• Type in 'to square :length'
• 1st box = repeat 4 [fd 100 rt 90]

Today CD, CB, LC, JE, MH, AM, FBW, FW, CO met with FMcG.

We got a good demonstration from FBW on using Tumblr. She explained it is handy because if you cant get on very often, you can queue up blogs to post in the future automatically.

CB also gave us a useful twitter demonstration. She told us:
gh - takes you home
gp - takes you to your profile
gm - takes you to your messages
