edublogs.org provides free, fully functional WordPress blogs hosted on our dedicated top-of-the range server. With these you can create individual posts in a traditional blog-style, pages of static content indexed in your sidebar and select from any number of themes to give life to your new blog.

wpex3.gif In addition to this you can upload up to 25MB of images, audio, documents, powerpoints or other digital material you want to share. Posting these is as simple as dragging and dropping them to your posting window.

And of course you can link to or bring in any larger audio or image files that you uplaod anywhere else on the web, such as ourmedia.org – so you can have that 20 MB podcast up and running in no time :)
wpex4.gifThematically you’ve got an awful lot of choices too. Currently we offer over 60 different (and rather cool) themes at edublogs.org and we’re adding more all the time. What’s more, many of these themes will allow you to edit the header, decide which pieces of content you want in your sidebar and generally rock your world.

And that’s not all, there’s a comprehensive (the most comprehensive) link manager, complete control over comments, choices about the number of posts to display on your front page and in your feed, profiles, plugins to fix you up with tools like Google Analytics to get your web stats, multi-user and group blogging simply done through the use of the ‘Users’ area and plenty plenty more besides!

So what are you waiting for, create your new edublog now and get posting!

Themetastic!

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.

How to insert images, multiple users (on one blog) and have your own individual theme

A few housekeeping notes.

As you’ll probably have noticed I haven’t been able to fix the “Upload Photo” thingy yet but have high hopes that I can get it done in the very very near future so thanks for your patience on that one!

In the meantime though you can display images in your blog using the ‘picture’ icon. You can upload images (or audio, or whatever you want to display) at ourmedia and just link it in.

It also looks like adding multiple users to a blog by simply ‘adding users’ is also being phased out of WPMU… but all is not lost, if you want to add users just get them to get their own edublogs here and then you can ‘add user from community’ at Users>Authors and Users – easy and they get a bonus edublog :)

Also, this is the last call for individual themes before I have to start charging… if you would like your own individualised theme you need to basically edit a wordpress template (like one of these) give it a unique name (this is important as otherwise it might overwrite an existing theme) and email it to me: james / at / edublogs / dot / org with your blog address… and I’ll enable it especially for you. Get it to me in the next two weeks (i.e. before 14th November) and I’ll do it gratis.

Fingers crossed customisable themes aren’t that far away though, we shall see, in the meantime you do have 39 to choose from though!!!
