Ahhh… how I rejoyced last Friday when I saw that Edublogs had jumped from 80 something to no. 8 on a Google search for education blogs. It’s taken a while, some 35,000+ links, many many months and a pagerank of 7… but finally I figured I’d cracked it and could move on to terms like …

Comment is twee
My final article for the Citizen blog at theage.com.au is called Coment is twee and is a heartfelt plea to get rid of blog comments in the mainstream media – and replace them with something much better. Go read it and… don’t leave a comment!
Just a touch of downtime at incsub.org
Just a heads up, there should be a touch of downtime at incsub.org over the next 24 hours as we shift her over to a shining new server. There’ll be no impact on any other sites we host. But if you’re just panting to search my archives, frolic around my classy new design (thanks for …
And the big news is…
… I’m actually, finally, completely, wonderfully doing it. Today I handed in my notice at The Age and come July 1st I’ll be working 100% for myself, the majority of the time on Edublogs and the rest doing consultancy, speaking, design & development for education, media and community projects. I’ve always wanted to work for …
One of those days…
Just when you thought everything was going swimmingly, with months and months of uninterrupted uptime you get a minor technical glitch, specifically: May 22 11:03:04 server kernel: EXT3-fs warning (device sda3): ext3_unlink: Deleting nonexistent file (17187990), 0 And it takes 9 hours to do a 15 minute repair job, gah. After which SQL throws up …
One million blogs!

ICTEV 2007
I’m presenting (and workshopping) at ICTEV 2007 tomorrow. Here’s a flash (and very condensed version) of my preso, for your educational enjoyment… it’s on the subject of ‘why we need a revolution in online teaching and learning‘ and comes in at 17 mins and 27MB. Unfortunately the embedded video soundtracks didn’t quite come through… but …
Edublogging just got… easier.
Are you holding back on Edublogging because there ‘aint someone to hold your hand? Or do you just want some resources to help your colleagues and students out as they get stuck into their education blogs. Look no further…
The Real Story of JPG Magazine
If you want one compelling and informative read on partnership and entrepreneurship, this is it. Must have been one heck of a tough decision… all I can say is that that’s one media start-up that just lost most of the reasons it was was going to do *very* well. In spirit as well as in …
Alexa vs. Compete (and education)
I don’t know where Compete gets its data from (as opposed to Alexa – which I guess is the Amazon toolbar) but when it comes to them tracking Edublogs, one of them is correct and one of them isn’t. While our stats show us as doing better than Compete has us doing (in the US), …
