      @TomBrown the ln command ‘creates’ the local file.
      and the file can contain just words in each of the time slots.

      make it work with an actual file, and then see if that is what u want. if so, then you can move the real file to the server. mount the drive into the pi, and then link the local file to the server file

            @sdetweil Right now the file is on the pi. This has been on hold since I originally posted as other things came up.

                Thanks Sam! My next task is to change the digital clock to an analog clock. We are also trying to teach the kids how to tell time on an analog clock.

                I changed displayType: “analog” which put up an analog clock with no numbers (just the circle and hands).

                I tried to change analogFace: “face-010” but it only showed the hands, no face and no numbers.

                Did I miss anything? Here is a snip from my clock.js

                Module.register("clock", {
                	// Module config defaults.
                	defaults: {
                		displayType: "analog", // options: digital, analog, both
                
                		timeFormat: config.timeFormat,
                		displaySeconds: true,
                		showPeriod: true,
                		showPeriodUpper: false,
                		clockBold: false,
                		showDate: true,
                		showWeek: false,
                		dateFormat: "dddd, LL",
                
                		/* specific to the analog clock */
                		analogSize: "200px",
                		analogFace: "face-010", // options: 'none', 'simple', 'face-###' (where ### is 001 to 012 inclusive)
                

                Here is how it looks with the simple analog clock.

                    OK. With some nudging from @sdetweil , I was able to get things fixed up. Have the analog clock instead of digital, have a clockface with regular numbers so they can start learning how to tell time, got rid of the newsfeed and moved the compliments to display at the bottom instead of the newsfeed.

                    Next steps is to add more words through a local file and then maybe install a module to pull some pictures from a public feed or maybe some select pictures from my google drive.

                      Easy - use the module MMM-GoogleSheets
                      and edit your own Google Sheet.
                      That’s exactly how I “communicate” with my mirror from anywhere
