I posted this in another thread but thought it would go well here in the Arduino thread also...

I replied to the other thread but here I am again!
Thanks for the link, I downloaded and installed. Certainly a great way to start out with some programming

I have not downloaded it. Probably won't get the chance anytime soon. Keep us posted as to what you think for beginners (like me)!

Installing was a tiny bit interesting. I had to make a number of folders within my Arduino folder. Then I had to copy the downloaded JAR file to the specified folder.
Once it was placed in the folder though, it worked like a charm. Load up arduino and then there's now an option to open up ardublock.
I will certainly see about putting it on my main site I.E. an install procedure and a quick intro. I think the drag and drop interface is really great!
