-* the colors used in the background are taken from ''the XO colors of the user'';
-* a warning is displayed if there are ''no starred entries'' in your Journal;
-* the slide show can be ''saved as an PDF document'' that can be shared;
-* in the thumbnail view, you can ''reorder your slides'' (by dragging them); and

-== A word to educators ==
-== A word to developers ==
-Reflection is an important part of learning and a good habit to establish in general. An analog to writing descriptions in the Journal -- the text that is shown in the Portfolio presentations -- is writing commit messages in git. It forces you to stop, reflect, and then articulate to others what you have done and why.
-== Suggestions for enhancements ==
-Manuq made some mock-ups of other layouts. It would be fun to add alternative layout options (or even add support for style sheets).
