All blogs automatically have RSS feeds. </p> <p>For example if you are using Google Reader when you add the blog URL to Google Reader it automatically finds the RSS feed and will detect the blog title correctly,</p> <p>Here is more information on how to subscribe to blogs using Google Reader - <a href="http://suewaters.wikispaces.com/workshopsubscribe" rel="nofollow">http://suewaters.wikispaces.com/workshopsubscribe</a></p> <p>If you are having trouble with specific blogs - can you give me some of their blog URLs so I can check them for you? </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=8275#post-27163 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:39:02 +0000 kmdunham 27163@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>I am working with a class to set up blogs for each of the students. I want them to be able to add each other's blogs to their feedburners, but half of the blogs come up with 'RSS 2.0' or a similar 'title', even though the blog has a regular title. How do I get the blog title to show up on the feedburner? </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=8274#post-27162 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:06:32 +0000 drmike 27162@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>That's cool. It does look like when you search for 'test' and 'test.edublogs.org', the same results appear so either the system is checking for the 'edublogs.org' bit and either removing it or adding it in. Can the same be done for the 'http://' bit? </p> http://edublogs.org/forums/topic.php?id=8274#post-27161 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 03:23:07 +0000 Sue Waters 27161@http://edublogs.org/forums/ <p>Oops sorry Dr Mike. We now have a Premium Support email system for Edublogs supporters and Ms H email us either before or after posting here in the forum and unfortunately I didn't realise.</p> <p>The issue was related to how the blog URL was being entered.

Walking home. Excuse shortness.</p> <p>Short answer: no unless have account and higher access like editor. Probably not good idea as be able to edit all comments, not just theirs.</p> <p>Even fancy JavaScript comment plugin nit work as two locations involved. Those plugins allow edit access fir say klike 90 minutes but only for original location.</p> <p>Solution? Maybe cheap batch of flash drives 64megs?

They submit their unfinished comments and have to wait to come back to school for their teacher to go into the teacher account to let them edit and finish their comments.</p> <p>I'm not sure if the teacher would want to make user accounts for each student. </p> <p>Any and all ideas would be helpful!
