Blog Hui 2006

I want my own blog!

Filed under: Activate! — lynsey @ 7:05 pm

People have asked where they can get their own blogs – without the pain of having to do all the site management stuff themselves.

There are a number of options available – many options, actually.

Here’s some to start with:

If you’re involved in education in some way – a teacher, researcher, librarian or other education professional; or a student, check out James Farmer’s edublogs.

If you want a kiwi sounding blog – and who wouldn’t – check out Stuart Amanzi’s blogtown. Stuart’s just getting the show on the road, so you might have to be a bit patient while he digs out the bugs. It looks like it’s off to a good start, so if you can grab a blog there you’ll have the fun of being amongst the first off the rank. Stuart’s also used wordpress, which from my experience is easier to use than Blogger.

Blogger? Yes, of course there’s always Blogger, the grandpappy of them all.

bloghui badgebloghui badgeOk, folks, it’s now time to start registering. There’s an online form which seems to have moments of brilliance followed by just moments, based on server demand. If you have troubles with the form, just email to papers@bloghui.org and we’ll follow up from there.

If you’re wanting to put links into Blog Hui and you want snappy buttons and badges, the full range is still available.

link to BlogHui poster
Thank you all who’ve asked for a Blog Hui poster. Clicking on the image will download a higher resolution (but still a slender 317 kb) poster in a powerpoint document (to get past those excessive firewalls).

Please feel free to distribute the poster amongst friends, family, and foes alike.

Filed under: Activate!,press releases — lynsey @ 9:54 am

Yes! In answer to your requests for buttons and badges, here’s a selection based on some of the images from the header. Please feel free to use them on your blogs or web pages with a link back to bloghui.org. Take a couple of extras and give ‘em to your friends for xmas. “We do need these steenken badges.”

Saving a button
It’s easy to save a button from this page:

Right click (if you have a PC) or click and hold (if you have a Mac) on the button you want. Select ‘Save picture as’ from the list that appears. A window should appear, showing the folders on your hard drive. Choose where you would like to save the button to, and click ‘Save’.

Your button has now been saved. Now upload the button to your blog or web site. Copy and paste the nugget of html below into a page, edit to show the path to the button and its name (shown in bold in the nugget), save and publish the page and you’re done – a ready made clickable link back to bloghui.org.
