Nice, but customization is lacking September 21, 2008

Just got my 9 year-old a Didj for his birthday. The initial setup was easy and he took to the controls right away. The Sonic game is fun and does test spelling, but the word choice is somewhat illogical--lots of words like "bread", "laughter", "knowledge"--which don't follow any rules; i.e. all are sight words. This is great if your kid is already proficient at memorizing these words and just needs a review, but is terrible for reinforcing spelling rules based on phonemes.
A big selling point of this game is that parents can go online and make customized spelling lists. So it was very disappointing that if you connect to the Leapfrog Learning site and try to get to the customization page, you get a message saying the page is not working, they are "aware of the problem and are working on it" C'mon, Leapfrog, this is one of the big features you are pushing--fix this problem!!
