Some have a more pleasing look to them.

** To do **
Sign up for a timeline creator (remember your username/password... add to a sticky/notes) or use the school username and password. Explore the functions of the timeline creator that you've chosen. Are you able to add images from school? Are you able to add links to websites? Links help people understand your event better. Do you like the look of it?
