(Edu Blog – Emmadw)

Logging in
Don’t forget you can also drag the “Bookmarklet” to the links bar, so that you can login via that. I’ve used that in the past with my own blog, and then just deleted all the info about the page I was on, if I wasn’t wanting to actually blog that page. The only drawback with that is that it’s not good if you want to do more than post (e.g. tweak things, edit other posts etc).

Users
I have to say that I’d assumed that the reason that people had to have an EduBlogs a/c was so that that owner of the blog had some control – if it was being used in an educational arena, then you’d have control over who could register.

That’d be your browser, not the site… copy & paste works fine (I just tested it)… try firefox.

Yep, get the link to login thing… it is in your email though so you could save it as a bookmark.

I wanted to incorporate (by copy and Paste) a diary I’d already started.. but the site would not allow paste. Could that be facilitated, please? and DEFINITELY , a link to Log IN.. it took reading all the others to findout how!

Great vision, James. Judging by what you’ve accomplished so far in very little time, I’d predict that you’ll be ahead of schedule on the rest of your wishlist.

Hi Xing, Is this what you;re talking about: http://www.mayer.dial.pipex.com/tex.htm

Could have a go I guess… not sure whow well it’d work with the new WSYWIG stuff though, how *much* do you want it :)

Ambitious plan, but ambition is good. Similar to what Ben is recommending, I’m wondering if there are already existing sites and services out there that you can tap into, either by installing directly (such as Elgg) or leveraging via APIs. It might help make the community system more extensible.

Keep up the great work, and keep on thinking big.

I wonder if the latexrender for wordpress could be added.

That could be well worth exploring… given that I already have WPMU up and running here do you think there’s potential to get Elgg running as a supporting social network (without the bloging module?)

Of course, you can always unplug the blogging module from Elgg and stick in WordPress. Might actually be an interesting case study, on top of everything else …
