      I think the error is that the line

      		module: 'alert',
      

      has a trailing comma, it should read

      		module: 'alert'

          Strange these modules have not been pre- code checked before uploading to GH…?

          I’ve updated my script as been adding other modules, and getting errors or just “loading”…

            @wjdw87 you’re missing curly braces for config in the camera module

            Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                Guys, use proper formatting for your code! (edited to add: when posting on the forums - not in your config files)

                Block code is done with ```on a line by itself, then your code, and closed with another ``` on a line by itself again. This is not the same as an apostrophe! It’s called a 'back tick' or 'accent grave' and can be found to the left of the numerical number 1 at the top on a US keyboard. Please use it! It makes reading your config files a lot easier.

                On non-US keyboards, um, its location will vary. You can also press and hold your ALT key, and using the numerical pad, enter 9 followed by 6, then let go of the ALT key. Repeat that three times and you get the three back ticks necessary.

                A Life? Cool! Where can I download one of those from?

                      @wjdw87 Why do you have the newsfeed module specified twice? You have:

                      {
                      	module: 'newsfeed',
                      	position: 'bottom_bar',
                      	config: {
                      		feeds: [
                      			{
                      				title: "Bloomberg Baby!",
                      				url: "https://www.bloomberg.com/feeds/podcasts/etf_report.xml"
                      			}
                      		],
                      		showSourceTitle: true,
                      		showPublishDate: true
                      	}
                      },
                      {
                      	module: 'newsfeed',
                      	position: 'bottom_bar',
                      	config: {
                      		feeds: [
                      			{
                      				tittle: "BBC Sci-Tech",
                      				url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk"
                      			}
                      		],
                      		showSourceTitle: true,
                      		showPublishDate: true
                      	}
                      },
                      

                      Would it not make more sense to just put both feeds in the feed array?

                      {
                          module: 'newsfeed',
                          position: 'bottom_bar',
                          config: {
                              feeds: [
                                  {
                                      title: "Bloomberg Baby!",
                                      url: "https://www.bloomberg.com/feeds/podcasts/etf_report.xml"
                                  },
                                  {
                                      title: "BBC Sci-Tech",
                      		url: "http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/video_and_audio/technology/rss.xml?edition=uk"
                                  }
                              ],
                              showSourceTitle: true,
                              showPublishDate: true
                          }
                      }
                      

                      (Also, you misspelled “title” in your second newsfeed. You have an extra “t”.)
