If you care to take a stroll over to to the ‘Presentation’ tag at the top of your blog you should be pleasantly surprised… I’ve added a heap more themes, with screenshots and tried to make them all ‘edublogs.org’ friendly so that there aren’t any error messages or links you can’t edit… let me know if you find any bugs and I’ll fix ‘em up.

I have shown a colleague my edublog - and she says why the h**l don’t you use Blogger (Blogspot) and this enables other users to blog on your site without having to create their own account. Blogger also has easy photo upload. Could you provide a rational case for using Edublog over other open source sites such as Blogger?

Re: plugins, yep, you can’t install your opwn plugins but you can ask me to do it for you. All part of an edublogs Chrissie present that’s just around the corner!

Theme(s)
Themetastic! I have to agree with James about the wider selection of themes now available here at Edublogs. I have switched to “White as Milk,” which meets my current criteria for this blog’s theme. I like the way it looks. It has th…
