Welcome to the edublogs.org community

James

To celebrate the impending 1000th blog at edublogs.org I’ve created a Drupal based edublogs.org community.

To participate all you need to do is role on over there, grab yourself a username (synching databases falls, um, into the ‘too hard’ basket ;) and get posting.

Please feel encouraged to share your blog, your questions and your feature requests and ideas for edublogs.org…. see ya over there!

Our first month…

James

Well, we’re coming to the end of the first month of edublogs… 6,934 unique visitors visiting 18,356 times and using 182,014 pages so far as part of 846 different edublogs!!!

So howabouts we celebrate by each edublogger inviting 10 of their colleagues to use the service….

In return I’ll get the next upgrade right ;) and fix up some community features, remember to contact me if you’d like to have your edublog featured… please don’t be shy!

Say it loud and say it proud, edublog strip at the top?

James

I’ve been thinking how great it is to have over 700 edublogs going and still be into our first month and about how we can get even more up in the next. Basically how can we ‘badge’ an edublog as an edublog and how can we best ’spread the word’?

The way I though would be simplest woudl be to put a small strip at the top of each blog as Weblogs Inc do (check it out). I figured this would also be a great way to promote community stuff, feature blogs etc. (no advertising though as promised!)

Let me know what you think? Would thsi be cool with you or just plain annoying? Can you think of any better approaches (given that the editable themes thing hasn’t quite come along yet?)

FAQ

James

I’ve added an FAQ to the homepage, if you have any issues or questions could you swing by their first to see if they’ve already been answered.

It’ll be a regularly updated page too… so next time something comes up please have a check to see if anything has been added.

Oh, and 5 points to anyone who can tell me why it’s ‘an’ FAQ rather than ‘a’ FAQ - the TEFL teacher in me working it’s way out ;)

How to get your site stats

James

Did you know that you get some pretty interesting site stats by visiting Manage>Referrers.

Of course, once we’ve got editable templates going you’ll be able to use a heap of systems like sitemeter or statcounter but for the meantime I think this is pretty cool!
