13. Sharing Your Scratch Projects over the Internet

Scratch’s slogan is “Imagine, Program, Share.” As the slogan implies, sharing is a big part of Scratch. The Scratch website is specifically designed to facilitate sharing and to promote the development of a large global community of Scratch programmers. By sharing ideas and projects with other Scratch programmers, you not only help others to learn but you increase your own knowledge and experience as well. This chapter will teach you everything you need to know about how to upload, manage, and share your Scratch applications on the Scratch website, helping you to become an active member of Scratch’s global community.

The major topics covered in this chapter include learning how to:

• Register a new account at the Scratch website

• Upload your Scratch applications

• Delete applications that you have uploaded

• Post comments and add tags to your uploaded applications

• Create galleries in which you can store and organize your applications
