This blog is designed to get you started in blogging with simple tips and hints on how to improve what you are doing.

I have also begun looking at more advanced ideas for the integration of the blog into the digital lives of our students. This includes adding video and audio which is accessible via iTunes – this allows media to be downloaded and accessed on mobile (cell) phones etc

Mike: Thanks for starting an edublog tutorial blog! I’ve been on edublogs for several months, and have loved it. Tonight though, I finally got around to using the customizeable header feature f the Regulus theme, and hit a wall. When I used the “features” link for Regulus, I had trouble with getting it to “take” my header URL. Finally it did. Then I changed the graphic and it went wonky. Now the header is blank and I can’t get ANYTHING to show up. My blog is decapitated. To make things worse, I can only find a handful of videos and a forum just for paying customers. Can you get this message to James Farmer or someone, ’cause there must be some support I’m missing somewhere.

Thanks,

Todd
