I uninstalled the NextGEN plugin and reinstalled it but my gallery links were demolished. I will re-import them to set up a new link table - when I have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

No I am not giving up on blogging or podcasting!

On the contrary, I have 96 private postings from the last 14 months on various topics which I shared with 43 WordPress trainees. 29 of these WordPress enthusiasts are from the eTwinning community and the remainder are teachers from around Ireland and some PC users who attended last year's Digital Bootcamp organised by the INTo and delivered by Apple last summer in Alexander College, Dublin.

I will tidy them up, especially the posts with links and publish them (publicly) over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the "Back 2 School" emails.

This government has always based its policies on value for money, i.e. productivity. Education does not produce a quick turnaround saleable item. I am sure they will dredge up up some report to validate their [...]

School Radio FM

The recent success of Digital Hub FM community radio has sparked off a lot of interest in closed circuit school radio or the possibility of a school catchment area broadcasting. The broadcasting of Mass on Citizen Band (CB) wavelengths is soon to be consigned to the pastoral care history books. This will have a knock-on [...]

Google Groupies

A big thank you to Liam, Carmel and Kieron for their work winding up the Google Groups underpinning the “old branch sites”.
