Hi Jim,

Thanks for your comment. As I said above, I used to be very happy with Edublogs as well but their policy of taking revenue in return for displaying inappropriate ads means I can no longer associate myself with them.

I’m glad to hear that there is a possibility of a server for Highland schools. I’m toying with WPMU myself right now, having listened to last week’s EdTechRoundUp podcast on the how and why of WPMU.

Please keep me posted with any blogging server developments, you’ll find me on the Highland FC directory.

That is interesting in the past we have recommended edublogs to schools in Highland. Was alerted to this development by Louise and by Robert Quigley in Marybank. We are hoping sometime soon to have our own WordPress server for Highland schools.
