Comments on: Finally, Weblogg-ed Joins the WP Crew! http://incsub.org/blog/2006/finally-weblogg-ed-joins-the-wp-crew Thu, 04 Feb 2010 12:15:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Teaching Generation Z » Must Read Blogs Not Mentioned In Edutopia http://incsub.org/blog/2006/finally-weblogg-ed-joins-the-wp-crew/comment-page-1#comment-12620 Teaching Generation Z » Must Read Blogs Not Mentioned In Edutopia Thu, 20 Apr 2006 12:19:42 +0000 http://incsub.org/blog/2006/finally-weblogg-ed-joins-the-wp-crew#comment-12620 [...] David Warlick blogged about the Edutopia Best Blog For Teachers article that gave he and Will Richardson guernseys for being Must Read blogs for Edutopia readers. I must admit that I very rarely look at Edutopia but the concept of the Must Read blog for educators is one that I concur with. In fact, I have a Must Read folder in my Bloglines account that is always the first port of call when I check my feeds regularly. Last year when I was still wetting my feet blogwise, I had the gall to name my Top Five Blogs (at the time) which was actually seven blogs that I was reading avidly. But the great thing about blogging is that you can constantly keep connecting to new sources and what speaks to you changes as you read more widely. So this is not a re-run or a new Top Five - if you link back, I still read all of my original list and highly recommend them. Will is now part of edublogs.org, Leigh has moved to NZ and is still in fine form, Jo is getting her story in the papers, and the others are consulted on a regular basis. But my new must reads are different, more acquired taste-wise and best of all, they make me think, really think in that sort of “can’t get that idea out of my brain” way. Extra Must Reads you should consider - if you are already reading them, well done and what do you think?!

I am making the same switch via edublogs.  Many thanks to James Farmer for offering a free site for educators.  My only suggestion would be to offer a theme or two geared to elementary classrooms.  The WP interface is user-friendly enough to bring teachers on board with blogging within a two-hour workshop. Jumping in to edit a theme’s CSS, however, is definitely for the advanced user. [...] [...] I’ve followed a few of Will Richardson’s Weblogg-ed posts regarding his switch from Manila blogs to WP.

I'm interested because I'm getting ready to implement a blog system at my school. Can anyone point me to good discussions about the best multiple blogging solution for schools and teachers? I.e. I need to be able to allow teachers to create their own blogs and blogs for students from our in-house server - -what's the blog app that will allow this most easily, dependably, with good levels of customization, etc.? I would really like to find a good discussion of these issues before starting up the blogging program here.

Basically you need to run this script: http://www.queso.com/manilaToMT.php (script here http://www.queso.com/files/exportManilaToMT_14.zip) - although there might be some edits needed. After that you'll need to run some replace edits on the mt.txt file (it'll put posts into draft which shouldn't be etc.) They you'll need to use a modified version of the feed director plugin to retain the RSS feed... I've lost the link but will email it to anyone who wants it (contact form up above) Then just import into 2.0.2 at MT ... easy huh :D Hey Dan, it’d be my pleasure!

This caught my eye because I've been giving thought to making the same transition, having been a frontier/manila server users since, well, since before there <i>was</i> manila. Can you point me to any good guides on transitioning my frontier/manila sites (currently running on my own server) to word press, also running on my own machine? Thanks, Dan Hi:
