Bloody Edublogs!

What is it about the Edublogs site? Apart their blog page layout much more difficult to navigate and optimise, their damn site too often seems to be down! I know it is not just me as I've followed the different OET chat at various times and forums (Elluminate & Skype). Others also report difficulties and challenges in accessing the blogs, making comments about others' blogs"stick' and add widgets or gadgets.

Now, I know it is frustrating enough as a part-time tertiary student who is working full-time in a school not being able to access edublogs when I need to for Uni, however it would be even worse trying to use it with a class. School students are going to very quickly turned off attempting to use Edublogs. For an ICT teacher in a primary school who might only get the students once a week for 40 minutes the lesson would be ruined if Edublog is inaccessible!

No wonder I prefer to blog on blogger!!

I agree totally. I have just lost all faith in Edublogs - what was a simple task (in Semester 1) is now so complicated and then it doesn't work. This week I had dedicated time to getting all my assignment work up to date and then down went the site. Luckily we are nearing the end of the semester - and goodbye to Edublogs.
