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.

2000 Spam Messages

Judging from your emails that seems to have been the average summer tally for school email accounts. It goes without saying that a significant number of these emails will have contained trojans, worms and various shades of malware.

The NCTE offer a discounted Symantec Corporate Edition for schools through The Cara Group. This is an anti-virus [...]
