Well, EB Tutorials has been up and running for a couple of years and has recently reached 50,000 visitors

Pretty interesting for a site that was set up to record my rambling journey through the developing platform and the addition of third party apps and podcasting

Storybird – illustrated online storybook making

Published by Mike Temple under Storytelling

I have just found Storybird via Twitter thanks to @dogtrax

What a great site for storytelling.  Great illustrations and very simple interface make this a must use for creativity.  You can also ask others to collaborate in putting your story together.  I shall be asking my G’daughter (8 years old) to contribute and collaborate with me.

Do check it out, I think you’ll find it most engaging

I haven’t really looked into the Edublogs platform for a little while after the fuss around in-post Google ads.  It’s really heartening to see that James and his team have taken note of the community opposition to these ads and has changed things round.

As well as changing the appearance of the dashboard, which is great, incidentally, he has limited his ads to archived posts, where you are shown the EB Campus invite for multiple accounts.  This is much more in line with the educational nature of this platform and I think it’s fine.

I hope others feel the same way and have continued to use the EB platform for their blogging needs.  I have recently started a new EB personal site and I really liked the process as it was all so familiar to use.

All I hope is that the current revenue streams are sufficient for him to continue to offer a great user platform and a simple yet sophisticated blogging experience.

It would be great to hear others’ views, so please use the comment function
