        Great work! Looking good! I bet your kid will be impressed! I know I would if my father took on a project like yours! :)

        Thank you very much. That’s what I am hoping for. :-)

          Hey no such thing as old ;) The noob part… I’m still there… just learning how to write js and it’s been painful but I thought to myself today… “I AM GOING TO GET THIS!” I learned PHP I can learn this too!

          Baby steps… Hahahhahhaha

            That’s extremely nice of you to say so. I hope I get a similar reaction from my son when the time comes.

              You did an absolutely fantastic job on your mirror, and your “boring” story is rather inspiring if you ask me. Thanks for posting!

                Thank you very much for your kind words. I thought I was done with this, but it has been so much fun that I continue to tweak things and I’m trying to repay those that helped me along the way by helping other new builders that have questions. There are some fantastic people here that helped me and everyone else. PeppaPigKilla (the very first person to get me past a hurdle), yawns, Strawberry 3.141, to name a few. They are brilliant, patient, and generous with their assistance. In my case, they deserve to be mentioned.

                Peace :peace:

                    He did do a nice job… I’m going to call him “Wilson”… LOL I think he’ll know what I mean…

                    It’s from an old American show called “Home Improvements”… Every time the main actor talked to his neighbor the neighbor had something blocking his face so you could never see his face LOL

                    It was quite humorous…

                        can you paste what you put in the MMM- simple-logo

                                    {
                        		module: 'MMM-SimpleLogo',
                        		position: 'bottom_left',  	// This can be any of the regions.
                        		fileUrl: "modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/yes.jpg",
                        		config: {
                                           width: "275px",
                        		// The config property is optional.
                        		// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                        		}
                        	},
                        	{
                        		module: 'MMM-SimpleLogo',
                        		position: 'bottom_right',	// This can be any of the regions.
                        		config: {
                                            width: "275px",
                        		fileUrl: "modules/MMM-SimpleLogo/public/starship.jpg",
                        		// The config property is optional.
                        		// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                        		}
                        	},
                        

                        I have 2 entries in my config.js file for MMM-SimpleLogo. One for each picture that I want to display. You can see each of their positions. You can see where I keep the picture files (fileUrl). I believe that if you change the width: then the height will automatically adjust, keeping the aspect ratio of the picture.

                        One thing to keep in mind. Two entries using the same position. The earlier one in the config.js ( I call it HIGHER)
                        will be above (higher) on your display. I hope this makes sense. I don’t know why the width: entries look indented. Mine are aligned with config: above
