    var myClock = document.getElementById('clock');

    // get the current value of the clock's display property
    var displaySetting = myClock.style.display;

    // also get the clock button, so we can change what it says
    var clockButton = document.getElementById('clockButton');

    // now toggle the clock and the button text, depending on current state
    if (displaySetting == 'block') {
      // clock is visible. hide it
      myClock.style.display = 'none';
      // change button text
