love when websites tell me "The Web versions of the reports make extensive use of cascading style sheets: you must use Netscape 4 (or higher) or Internet Explorer 4 (or higher) to view them correctly."

Wow, I definitely need to emphasize more to my students with their blogs on blogger to:
#
[kenbauer]
a) make sure they have a backup running regularly
#
[kenbauer]
b) seriously look at options (with my help) on getting on their own domain.

Ken that is the hard part
#
[jgmac1106]
did you see a few of us made the blogger theme.
#
[jgmac1106]
I went with the hybrid approach in Ghana, one domain and provide everyone with a subdomain
#
[jgmac1106]
this has always been our challenge. I used to provide all the choices Medium, wordpress.com, blogger, tumblr....but I didn't have the capacity to support learners on all those platforms
#
[jgmac1106]
so for undergrads or people taking non tech classes we start on WordPress.com but for my grad students (I have also never made any student in 10 years of teaching buy a book) make them register for Reclaim

Difficult choices indeed.

perhaps Google+ forget to notify Blogger to update some pages. I got this while trying to comment on a post (the comment went through) on Laura Gibbs' post.

what is intent
#
Loqi
It looks like we don't have a page for "intent" yet. Would you like to create it? (Or just say "intent is ____", a sentence describing the term)

jacky
I can't even find docs for this, lol
#
jacky
I wanted to document the intent pages Twitter provides to make Web publishing a bit 'simpler'/isolated
#
jacky
but it looks like they've nixed the pages at http://dev.twitter.com/pages/intents
#
[tantek]
really intent is a very bad framing of the user interaction and formats, protocols, APIs to implement that interaction but here we are
#
jacky
it _just_ expired
