  1. Wayne, I can see you actually do the work but your technique is preventing you from getting full credit. you need to post each vocabulary word by itself in a single posting, each posting title is the word itself and each word definition needs to be accompanied by an image the represent its meaning.
    The way you did it makes it difficult to find a particular word. The idea is that you use this as your personal online technical dictionary.
