The best method of checking your project is
 1)to use a different computer than you normally use.
 2)Browse to the URL
    www.virtualsciencefair.org/2013/your_userid
  (replace your_userid with your unique userid).

Your can also test by entering your userid in the textbox below and clicking "Check"  

   Your userid   

Of course you still must check that all the links work and all the images etc. display properly. Absolutely no live links to pages outside the VSF are allowed. Absolutely NO link to YouTube etc. Have you a complete Project Information Page?

• Much less ideally , standard office applications such as Word, Publisher and PowerPoint may be used.
• Animation software such as Flash can be used to create entire websites as well as animations.
• Image editing software such as Fireworks is essential for preparing photographs for the website.
• FTP software such as FileZilla (Free) is useful.
