OK, am getting annoyed now. Over the last few weeks (from Melbourne on Optus Cable on their maximum plan) we’ve had frequent dropouts on some sites overseas for up to several hours at a time – this isn’t an issue at my end, or at the servers end (I know because we’ve been testing connection …

Be afraid…
In the Blackboard patent case, “the jury handed down its verdict that the patent is valid and that Blackboard should be awarded damages of approximately $3 million.” OLDaily Oucha, let’s hope they haven’t got anything in about blogs huh ;) Update: More from Michael Feldstein who is – like me – speechless (I think I …
Edublogs has a new default theme!
Only a year or so late :)
CommentPress in action on Edublogs
Have been browsing around looking for a good example of an blogger using CommentPress in action on Edublogs and lo and behold, check this out.

Blogsavvy is for sale!

Say howdy to Edublogs Supporter
Big day at Edublogs… we’ve just launched Edublogs Supporter (announcement post here). I’ve never been a fan of donations, for a whole heap of reasons, and I hope this treads the line between purchasing extra features and supporting the site. Basically, existing users (or new ones :) can purchase an upgrade to ‘Supporter’ which gives …
More bloglines woes
Yet again Bloglines aren’t answering emails to assist with either their crawlers invasive behavior on WPMU sites or their inability to successfully track some edublogs feeds for which I (and some users) have been contacting them for over a week. The last couple of times posting here was the only way to get their attention …
Good widgetbox news
Good news on the extra funding for Widgetbox – they basically allow any Edublogs user to install pretty much any widget in their sidebar… so are worth the third party risk! Now, maybe they could plough a little of that cash into making it even easier :)
