James, the widgets are absolutely wonderful. MU and WordPress has come a long way since you set up my first blog, tikiwiki, and Moodle.

Thank you!!!

Thank you so much for adding widgets to Pool, James. Yippee!

FYI, just a tiny glitch: yesterday I set up four RSS feeds with several posts each, and gave the feeds 24 hours to settle. The RSS feed titles showed up immediately (yesterday) but the titles of posts are still not being displayed. However, this is not a big deal for me (just something to add to your list of things to look into one day) and I am pleased to see how quickly you responded to my question. Thanks again.

Hemmingway & Pool *(with widgets) now available.

Hemmingway on the cards (although I think some of the others are quite sophist).

You just drag the widgets back to the widget box and update.

Can you guys try to post in the forums in future please.

To James: thanks for looking into adding widgets to Pool sometime. To DS: Pool has cool, sleek, simple styling. It is not garish, and you can upload your own choice of header image to personalise it. Before I found edublogs, I began using WordPress for teacher-parent information; Pool is common to both and seems acceptable to adults. For example, here's one teacher blog with my own photo uploaded. inelon behalf of Mrs. Powell

I just recently used Andreas09 to create my first WordPress blog. I went to the presentation tab and added some widgets before realizing that the new widgets “hide” the things that were already in the theme.
HOW do I delete the widgets so that my information will return? When I try to drag the widgets back into the selection box, they do not stay…they go back to the sidebar.
I have changed theme for now so that what I need to show will show, but if you could give me some help on that other problem, it surely will help me to learn.

I do appreciate any help! I will be working with others on createing a blog so I will pass it forward!

I have looked all over the forums and discussions and can’t seem to find an answer to my question, so my apologies in advance.

Any way you could add Hemingway to the available themes for edublogs? Because I’m needing to appeal to a collegiate audience, I’d like to have a more professional and simple looking and functioning theme; most of the available themes are rather garish and lack a more sophisticated aesthetic.

Feedback (implementation :) ) would be appreciated.

You can easily recreate an about page – just call a page ‘About’.

Mark, you can easily delete your blog under ‘Options’

Tina thanks muchly for the feedback – v. much appreciated – I’ll look into it
