Thread:Blogs (17)

We already have the blog feature enabled in Mediawiki. (I use it for my tech blog.) But it doesn't provide nearly as many features as a dedicated blogging tool.

We really want to be able to harvest content from any blog.
 * 1) Students and teachers may already have their own established blog, and so we want to harvest content from there that is properly tagged for a course.
 * 2) Pointing other learners at Blogger or Wordpress is a simple way to limit the explanation of "how" and just allow them to quickly get to the course related blogging. There are many other options, but these allow free use and are easy to start using.
