August 24th, 2010

What else can we do with
WP?
Set up a network of sites with
WordPress MultiSite
World press in libraries

Learning Mgmt System
BuddyPress

… features – similar to Facebook, Twitter, etc – will probably seem
familiar to many.
My philosophy of teaching includes instilling in my students a sense of
exploration and play. And dealing with change.
The Buddypress site is an extension of that. In my email to my classes
as school starts, I asked them to configure their blogs, get an RSS
aggregator and explore the site. Explore is the keyword.

BuddyPress enabled course

  14. http://tamworthlibrary.org/ Nice website – put together by Lichen Rancourt
  15. Free hosted versions at: -- Wordpress.com -- Edublogs.org Limited themes, plugins Charge $15/year for access to CSS $15 a year to redirect your URL to the blog. Still this could be a great way to get started and to work with the ideas. Just don’t let the limits put you off the whole WordPress idea. When you’re ready, you can move to a self-hosted version.
  16. Wordpress has a page of suggested hosting companies. http://wordpress.org/hosting/

  25. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/ Need to sign up for an account with wordpress.com to activate this and Akismet Both were created by the wordpress folks and make use of resources on the .com server. You don’t need to blog on wordpress.com, you just need the account Getting stats to load can be VERY slow sometimes. For stats – you might also want to try google analytics – more detail.

  31. Mick Jacobsen – Skokie IL PL Main site is NOT WP
  32. Mick Jacobsen of Skokie PL, Illinois is writing a section for the LTR Separate sites for each topic. Each blog has it’s own look and feel Contributors have access to their blogs Found it very easy to add content, images, videos. Top menu bar takes users back to the main library website There a sense of fragmentation at this point. With changes in wordpress, the whole site could now be brought together under WP, instead of having a main stie and a bunch of blogs. Suggests that the blog content in separate WP MU sites could be reintegrated into one site with CATEGORIES to distinguish the content.
