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.

Hi Joe,

Love you blog. I just thought you might be interested in the following link to a recent educational podcast. The Frog Blog and the SCC English Blog, two websites from St. Columba’s College in Dublin have just posted a podcast about blogging in education. The podcast would be of interest to teachers looking for incorporate blogging into their teaching. The podcast (or frogcast in the case of the Frog Blog), discusses the value, purpose and motivation for blogging in schools, in particular in relation to our Science and English departments. It also offers some practical advice to teachers looking to set up a blog.

The podcast is available on both the SCC English Blog (http://www.sccenglish.ie/2009/11/podcast-16-blogging-in-schools.html)and the Frog Blog (http://blog.sccscience.com/2009/11/frogcast-1-blogging-in-schools.html) . Incidentally, both of these blog have been shortlisted for next week’s Eircom Golden Spider Awards, within the Best Blog category. I think it is great that educational blogs are being recognised for the purpose they serve.

I hope this finds you well,

Yours in education,

Humphrey Jones, Frog Blogger

P.S It would be great if you could add us to your blogroll?

Thanks for giving this title a mention. It’s available in both physical format and ebook format on the Packt site. The forum features are added with bbPress, and the social bits with BuddyPress.

If you’re using BuddyPress in and educational context, I’d love to hear about your site, and how you got on with it.
