Notes

Other "Current Moon" Options: If you do not have a website or blog, or you simply want to have the current moon phase handy for your own use, our iGoogle Moon Gadget may be just what you are looking for. You could also bookmark this Moon Phases Calendar or the Current Moon Phase page.

YOUR Time Zone: The moon module uses your computer clock for the moon calculations, so it is preset for YOUR time zone (or the time zone of the person viewing it). The moon phase calculation is accurate -- if the calculation seems wrong, please check YOUR computer system time. For Windows users, you can check your settings by double clicking the time at the bottom right of your computer screen.

Cannot See The Moon? The center portion of the module that shows the moon and data is a Flash file. If you cannot see it, then you need to install or re-install Flash Player in your web browser (visit www.adobe.com).

Not Showing Up On Your Site? FIRST, be sure you have copied all the code exactly as provided. SECOND, check that your webhost allows the use of Javascript or Flash; they have to allow at least one or the module will NOT work. Check the "No Javascript" checkbox above to experiment with that option. THIRD, your website editing tool/builder might be altering the code. Find a way to paste the module code directly into the source HTML of the page to minimize the chances of this happening.

MySpace Tips: Before copying the code above, be sure to check the MySpace usage box ("Option 2"). Where to add the module? Try the "About Me" section: on your main editing or user home page, click "Edit Profile". Place the code within any of the text boxes (ie, "About Me", "Interests").

WordPress: First try the default options above. If it is not working, then try the Option 1 checkbox to forego the use of Javascript.

Module Shows "Q" And Question Mark: If the module area displays a "Q" with a question mark ("?") instead of the moon and data, there is a QuickTime conflict. QuickTime is the movie player from Apple, and it sometimes tries to handle Flash content instead of the Flash Player. The general solution is to disallow QuickTime from handling Flash. Do this in the advanced preferences area. A few specific things to try: Option 1) Inside the advanced area of QuickTime preferences, uncheck the "enable flash" preference, then restart your web browser. Option 2) Inside the Quicktime Control Panel, click the "Browser" tab (for QT 6 or older, choose "Browser Plug-in" from the menu). Then click the "Mime Settings" button and uncheck "Flash media" or "Flash file" within the "Miscellaneous" heading. Restart your web browser. Option 3) Navigate to the Outpost>Tracks area of preferences and disable Flash handling there.

Tweaking Appearance: If you understand HTML and/or CSS, you are allowed to make minor style edits to the appearance of the current moon phase module. However, the "the moon" text link must remain intact and unchanged. Any other links pointing to MoonConnection.com must also remain. Also, you cannot download the source files (code, images, etc) and host them on your domain; they must remain on MoonConnection.com. Contact us if you have any questions or requests.
