How to manage Hot Pot exercises.

I have made four JMatch exercises in HotPot. It was a real challenge for me, then. My fault was I started with complicated ones, too many words and long sentences. I didn`t insert any clips or pictures either. My exercises look too boring and long for the students.The BaW moderator Fernanda Rodrigues has adviced to start with easier and simplier exercises. She gave some useful sites to begin with and, moreover, suggested wonderful free sites of cliparts. So, these are for you !
Here you can see some types of exercises you can build with HotPotatoes:http://hotpot.uvic.ca/wintutor6/index.htm
Why not start with  JQuiz?
