This site (edublogs.org) was down for a while, causing much consternation to those teachers and students who depend on it.
Didn’t affect me much. Been up to my armpits in alligators with the usual start-of-the-year school stuff. Now I hope to have more time to read and write….

The first one I tried, PictureSync, bombed with script errors [...]

I prefer Qumana to Bleezer, which has some bugs and is less natural to use. I’m going to run with this [...]
