Latest BlogFest post

Because of the flakiness of the Rollr blog we use here on me.edu.au I have written my blog post on embedding widgets on my other blog. You'll find it here

Only a few applications can be embeded here like YouTube and Voicethread as well as some other video embeds. I should compile a list of widgets that can be successfully embedded and some that I know don't go so well. More to come of that soon I think...

If you'd like to help me get started though, fill in this form to let me know you experiences with embedding content in your me.edu.au blog (item no.1 on the list is embedding this form from GoogleDocs into this blog post!):
Embedding content feedback form

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my progression through the BlogFest challenges and I feel that I am slowly gaining more confidence. I'm still taking a long time to write my posts though...

Blogging Carnival widget

There is a widget which you can add to your blog so you can easily post to edna's Blogging Corner Carnival. Note that embedding the widget into your me.edu.au blog won't work because of the html code, so you will have to embedd into one of your other blogs. Hopefully this will remind you and also encourage others to participate in edna's Blogging Carnival.

After the publishing deadline each month your post will appear on edublogs. The widget is also on edublogs page so you can go and read other's postings and then submit your own from there.

Here's the widget code to embedd in your other blog spaces:

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.1"><!--
bc_width="300"; bc_height="520"; bc_color_text="#666666"; bc_color_link="#0000FF"; bc_color_bg="#FFFFFF"; bc_id=6037; bc_format=2;
// --></script> <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://blogcarnival.com/bc/widget_show.js"></script>
