Kudos to James Farmer, who runs the Edublogs service. He has outdone himself.
The server was upgraded last week and the new functionality is fabulous. We can now easily embed Flash, Director, YouTube, Google Video, and iFilm files directly into blog posts, which is a greatly appreciated feature. As well as that, he has installed additional WordPress plug-ins which enable us to do a heap of cool stuff, like the “listen to podcast” option through Talkr, and a link to easily add photos directly from your Flickr account, like so.
Thanks James for continuing to make Edublogs (and I’m hoping Learnerblogs too!) better all the time.
By the way, all this funky Web 2.0 spelling of words like Flickr, Talkr, Frappr, etc is making me wonder if I should start spelling my own last name as Betchr?

Go Betchrboy!
On another note … when I go to type a forward slash, either in this post or on the link to my website when make this post, a “Quick Find” search box comes up in the bottom bar of Firefox. Oh, it seems it also comes up when I try to type an apostrophe. Also I can not (can not type cant) use my arrow keys to move around the text in this post?! Weird! I have the latest FF too.
