Exciting news!
We are working on a new directory at Edublogs which will allow you to easily sort through and find blogs based on type or location.
To help us get started, we would love anyone that would like their blog to be included in the directory when we launch to complete the form below:

Have you been looking for a way to manage and update your blog when you are away from your computer?
We’ve compiled this list of FREE mobile apps that are compatible with all Edublogs Pro and Campus accounts.
In addition, any Pro user can add mobile blogging capabilities on up to 50 student blogs by following these directions. Don’t forget that this also removes ads and provides access to all premium themes for these blogs too!

These apps allow you to create posts, read and approve comments, and upload photos right from your phone. Imagine being able to take a picture with your phone of students’ work and immediately being able to upload it to your blog to share or facilitate class discussion. How cool is that!?
Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions or nifty ideas to share on how mobile edublogging can be used!
It’s not quite a brow-lift, nose-job, full set of Da Vinci crowns and a tummy-tuck… but we’re pretty happy with our new look nonetheless :)
And what’s more, your blog backend is going to get a makeover really really soon too (more details at the end of this post).
So here’s how we used to look:
And here’s how we look now:
We’re hoping that the new look demonstrates how far we’ve come as a company in the last year and also improves on your Edublogs experience. It’s a lot lighter on the load, contains some nice new useful links for logged in users, describes what we do much better, profiles The Edublogger better than before and shows off more Edublogs Supporters rather nicely too.
And of course, hopefully it also helps build awareness of Edublogs Campus too :)
As for your blogs, well we can’t confirm the date yet but most likely in the next few weeks we’ll be upgrading the site to the latest version of WordPress which means that your admin area is going to start looking a lot like the below:
And it also means that you’re going to get a heap more of most excellent features, some of which are so cool it’s exciting just anticipating them :)
So we’ll let you know when that happens, and also (in case you’re worried) have a whole new set of video tutorials and other materials to help acquaint you and your students with the new admin layout.
