Edublogs Tutorials

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

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

As you may have gathered, there are now adverts showing up in your posts, just when you thought your Edublogs site was completely free and school friendly.  At $3500 a month for hosting and bandwidth, I think James had to take some action, but not sure if this is the only way to go.

There are lots of views on this and if you’d like to take a look, go to the two forum areas

contentlink ads

and perhaps, you’d like to add your comment there or here

I just checked the stats for Edublogs Tutorials and it seems that 10,000 of you have visited the site since its inception in March 2007 and 5,000 of those since March this year!

I’m always fascinated by the growth of internet information and thank all of you for taking a look and leaving your comments. A number of others have set up sites to help with setting up Edublogs blogs and I’m sure anyone who is new will find the answers very quickly.

I hope you have found the tips and hints useful in either getting started or developing new functions for your sites

Here’s to lots of new bloggers
