Warning to teachers: It’s hard to remain unexcited and not wanting to try out blogging for your students after watching this video.
pLog – Open Source Blogging Software
In his series of postings to examine how one can give people blogs, James Farmer mentioned the software pLog which has features that are comparable to MT, but most importantly it is free. Will need to download and explore it further.
Setting up of Blogger.com Blog HOWTO Ver 2
Just managed to update the Blogger.com HOWTO after seeing the need to do so after last week’s workshop. Some changes:
1. Added steps to create posting with pictures
2. Amended illustration URL with ‘-‘ (dash) as blogger.com no longer allows ‘_’ (underscore) in URL.
Here are 3 flavours for you to pick:
1. In PDF format (largest download size, 6.29MB)
2. In zip format (moderate download size, 4.36MB)
3. In rar self-extractable format (smallest, 3.04MB)
Looking forward to the upcoming workshop for MTL teachers this Friday organised by Cikgu Naim, a Malay Language Master Teacher 🙂
Blogging from Microsoft Word
Blogger.com has introduced the Blogger for Word plug-in, hence if you are using MS-Word, you can retrieve, publish and edit your postings, all from within MS-Word.
Cool application. Download and give it a try 🙂
