My class website - updated and hand coded
July 14, 2007
Ok so I went to work on my class website this morning. It’s been a nice lazy morning around the house. It will be a late night tonight so I’m relaxing on the mac this morning.
My class website is nothing more than a Wordpress site with no blog entries. I like the CMS concept and may use the blogs at some time, not sure. Anyway, that’s how I’ve done it, so don’t quibble with that, huh?
If you don’t mind, would you take a look at the site?
I would love it if you’d really dig around and find possible areas of liability, trouble spots, outside links that I missed that may take kids to bad places, etc.
I’d love any counsel you’ve got to say, and also let me now if you even like it!
Thanks!
Chris

Have you considered using Classblogmeister by David Warlick?

I may bug you to help me set up a similar site for my new position. Don’t forget plans on the horizon to buy webspace with bluehost using your link (thus giving you credit for the sale!) It’s awesome!
Just out of curiosity, why no links back to the school who employs you?? Is that a “safety-net” of sorts to keep your class anonymous on the web? Also, as an LMS who guards against losing state funding for DIscus, why not a link for it somewhere as well? Don’t your kids use Discus for research?

Lisa, I did consider it, but my needs are more for a CMS than an actual blogging platform.
Cathy, I didn’t consider a link to Discus, but will now. Isn’t there a universal login? Send it to me via email if you get a minute.
