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.

Google Image Search is blocked!

No warning! The Google Image Search facility has been blocked on the Schools’ Broadband Service.

It seems to have fallen foul of FortiNet filtering protocols. I doubt if it was a policy decision by the NCTE as many schools use Google Image Search everyday. There may have been a category filing software glitch [...]

Slán Froogle

Froogle beta has gone and given way to Google Product Search. It was very useful for price comparison when shopping online or bidding on eBay. This is also a beta service. I wonder how long this will last.
