I was surfing around Saturday afternoon and found a cool site that allows you to generate a crossword puzzle using your own questions, so I had this brainstorm about making a Vintage Movie Crossword to post on the blog. Spent an hour coming up with the questions and answers and a couple of hours playing around with the program and then spent several hours trying to get it into a format that would look reasonable on the blog. As you can see, I was not entirely successful. I think it is kind of workable by opening the jpeg in another window and then printing it off. I'm not really happy with it, but if you fine folks like it I may fiddle with another one at some point and see if I can do better.
The solution is down at the bottom of the post, but too teeny tiny to read without opening in another window, so no cheating!
