Many might just add you to favourites or refer to your site occasionally. For my own blog, I've had verbal feedback from colleagues, or comments in email, but not on my…"
Bernadette replied to Judy Cirucci's discussion collaborative learning"Hi Judy

I have set up a blog for my fellow Religious Educators in Victoria, Australia called http://reinnovators.wordpress.com/ and emailed them the link. However, only about 6 of them have subscribed and those who have rarely respond to the posts I have put up. I am feeling a bit dispirited. How do I get them more actively involved?
Bernadette replied to Bernadette's discussion Blogging with wordpress"Hi Tyler
Thanks! I tried what you said and I now think the problem is that the people who have signed up didn't confirm their subscription when Wordpress would have sent them an email. I could see their email address but they are not fully…"
Colleen Young replied to Bernadette's discussion Blogging with wordpress"It's not obvious!
As Tyler said - you find it from the dashboard. Look on the left. Find 'Site Stats'.
Here's a picture!
I do like WordPress - I have several blogs and am astonished at what you get for free."
Jacqui Murray replied to Bernadette's discussion Blogging with wordpress"Hey, Tyler, Thanks. I've had my Wordpress blog for over a year. I spent an hour last week trying to find that spot that shows who's subscribed (short of the email notifications I get). Couldn't find it. Aren't you the best!"
Tyler Amidon replied to Bernadette's discussion Blogging with wordpress"I too have a wordpress blog. It's been great for me.
1. You find the subscriptions on the DASHBOARD and got to SITE STATS and look at the bottom.
2. Also on the DASHBOARD you go to USERS in the menu on the left…"

I am new to blogging but have set up a blog with Wordpress for my colleagues in other schools who teach the same subject as me.

However, I have 2 questions:1.I can't seem to find a way to see who has subscribed to the blog unless they choose to felons to my posts.2. I would like them to be able to add in their own posts i.e be an author, but when I try to add paste their email addresses into…See More

Bernadette replied to rachid ait oumaiz's discussion bringing technology in the ELT classroom: costs and benefits"Hi Rachid
I am a bit of a fan of podcasting with my students. It's very simple to create podcasts, say through Audacity, on any content heavy topic the students are studying. In small groups, they could do the recording. Then if you have a…"

Dear Bernadette. thank you very much for your interest. We don't actually do hardware such as solar panels, but software such as awareNet. For the solar panels we assisted our partner SELF. Please, let me know what exactly it is you would like to know. I am happy to explain what we do. Best regards. Anna

Hello Bernadette and how lovely to see you here on this site. You will learn so much from here and it is great to see your active involvement in the discussions. Are you a government school teacher in Victoria, if so http://globalstudent.org.au is set up by the Dept as a campus for edublogs, so there is security and safety in that fact. However, it will change to anohter name next year, so remind me and I shall tell which it will be.

- Hi Bernadette, If you find the comments section in your dashboard (I dont use blogger but if you have problems finding it, let me know) you should see an area that refers to comments. You can have complete control over comments. Make sure you choose to moderate them before they go up online. (I would think that this would be the default) That way you have full control and delete or spam any that are not appropriate. However, in all my three years of blogging with students, we have rarely seen any inappropriate ones. The clustrmaps are great. Goto http://clustrmaps.com/, key in your email address and blog address. Click make my map.Look for code to appear in a box on the next screen. (There may be one step in between where you have to coppy some text and numbers) Copy that code. Goto your blog, login and look for section that allows you to add widgets. Add a text widget to your sidebar, paste the code in there and save.If this does not work, please let me know and I will lookat blogger and work it out with some screen dumps.
