It's a shame, but those ads just aren't appropriate for classroom/pupil blogs.</p>MrStuckeSun, 25 Jan 2009 14:26:40 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864291<p>My classroom blog is with edublogs, but my personal blog is with <a href="http://wordpress.org" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="wordpress.org">wordpress.org</a>. Thank you for explaining how I can move my classblog to wordpress.</p>Elona HartjesSun, 25 Jan 2009 14:12:57 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864290<p>It is running through Feedburner, and it's set to full feed in the wordpress options, it's got me a bit mystified at the moment...</p>MrStuckeThu, 01 Jan 2009 12:49:38 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864289<p>Good good! I'd recommend running your RSS feeds through the Google-owned <a href="http://feedburner.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://feedburner.com">Feedburner</a>. They've got a Wordpress plugin to make life easy. :-)</p>Doug BelshawThu, 01 Jan 2009 12:35:12 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864288<p>Sorted, thanks Doug, finally got my own gravatar to show aswell.<br>Next stop - full rss feeds, not sure why it's shortening them at the moment...</p>MrStuckeThu, 01 Jan 2009 12:13:17 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864287<p>Oh, and Dan. I would go to Wordpress settings and change your posts to have permalinks relating to the title of the post. It helps with search engine optimisation!</p>Doug BelshawThu, 01 Jan 2009 10:19:54 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864286<p>That's good news, sorry about the referral, oh well, if anyone out there is thinking of following our lead then let Doug or me know, we'll take it in turn with referrals! ;)</p>MrStuckeThu, 01 Jan 2009 10:05:54 -0000http://mrstucke.com/2009/01/01/wonderful-wordpress-or-how-to-leave-edublogs/#comment-8864285<p>Hi Dan,</p><p>Glad it's gone well! Self-hosting is great as it gives you a lot more flexibility. Don't worry about my transferring web hosts - I'm actually transferring <a href="http://dougbelshaw.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="dougbelshaw.com">dougbelshaw.com</a> *back* to Bluehost!</p><p>I wish you'd let me know that you were going to use Bluehost - I could have got $65 for referring you... ;-)</p>Doug BelshawThu, 01 Jan 2009 10:02:32 -0000
