    This is a nice bit of work Robert! I look forward to being able to add my own feed. If you think I might be able to help drop me an email, but I no nothing about code etc... See you soon, Ollie

    Cheers Ollie.

    You weren't on there!?! That's a disgrace which I have fixed :) It'll be half an hour or so before the system gets around to updating from your rss feed.

    Any feedback you can give as a user of the system will be very helpful. Also we need to publicise this as widely as possible once it has the remaining bits of functionality in place, so if you could help with that when the time came it would be great :)

    Looking really good - I'll have a proper poke around tomorrow. Nice work!

    Cheers Ewan. Lots of it does nothing at the moment, but I did just implement the adding of blogs, so I'll be interested to see how that goes :)

    This looks like a big step forward - well done all. I've joined the group and hope I'll be able to add something!

    more features when I get my code to go back to the repositry! Well done to Robert for getting this moving!

    Hi David I missed your comment yesterday. Feel free to chip in with suggestions in the discussion group - many brains make hard problems easy :)

    Oh Dear Oh Dear!!!!

    Has the Glow team seen this site? They will be glowing the colour of Birdseye peas!

    More thoughts when I get back from sunny Madeira.

    You ain't seen nothing yet Bob. Peter is working away at a feverish rate to add functionality to the blogs page, whilst I'm trailing along behind offering advice, tidying up here and there and trying to look busy :)

    I hope the Glow team will be pleased to see a positive development like this - we're all in this together, after all.

    I think the Glow team will be chuffed that this is happening but green with envy, Bob? As Robert says education is why we are here, not for US or THEM to provide the top one-stop-shop but to improve the education of our learners, be they 3-18 years, over 18s, teachers, parents...

    What I would hope is that the ScotEduBlogs system is integrable into the Glow portal if the user chooses so. In principle it's possible through the XML editor but it's still not 'one-click' enough for me. Once the portal becomes public properly I look forward to seeing a lot more individuals writing content for it to make it a truly national portal and not the portal of one or two organisations.
