Clarification, I made the assumption that embedding was an issue with Wordpress because John at <a href="http://johnp.wordpress.com/2007/04/10/what-are-hoildays-for-anyway/" rel="nofollow">My Other Blog</a> has had problems embedding his comics. I understand the frustration about documentation as I deliver PD to lecturers on e-learning. I find the Internet opens up more preferred learning styles. One wants written text they can down load, another wants simple instructions on the screen they can read, another wants videos....and it goes on. That is the fantastic feature of ToonDoo that anyone can do it (well maybe not my husband) easily without having to wonder about where is the lost instruction manual. I have lots of different sites (e.g. the main being blog, wiki and podcast site) all of which offer different services and differing abilities to do things - that is fine in my book (mind you Widgets would be nice). I forgot to mention probably the most important thing in the fickleness of consumers - which makes me choose between products and services. Customer service and looking after your customers. I use and promote <a href="http://blog.wikispaces.com/" rel="nofollow">wikispaces</a> because they provide incredible customer service as does both Toondoo and Edublogs. While others may offer better products customer service ranks higher to me. Thanks Rajendran ToonDude from http://www.jambav.com and James from Edublogs for your comments.

So it's a WPMU rather than a WP issue per se. Nice pots BTW :) Embeds are an interesting thing and the challenge we have is how to allow them while maintaining securuty… at the moment that’s based on individual plugins (like the Anarchy media one) so we have to keep up with demand for different sites but there needs to be a better solution.

First, we are happy to say that almost every feature that we launched in ToonDoo has been intuitive enough for children and adults alike to intuitively adopt and experiment with. Our challenge was to make everything visual so that even kids who don't yet READ, can still MAKE a cartoon, and have fun along the journey. We do intend to make video tutorials and descriptive help documentation though, because like the old saying goes, "Nobody reads documentation, but write four volumes of it before you speak such nonsense!" About embedding in blogs, no, wordpress is quite friendly. It is just that edublogs has additional "restrictions" imposed. Anyway, check out http://sovereignjohn.wordpress.com/ a featured ToonDooer, no less, who uses the html-version of the ToonDoo embed in his blog. And, also my own blog at toondoo.edublogs.org where I have explained how to embed a ToonDoo inside edublogs, as my first post. Thanks. Rajendran. ToonDude from www.jambav.com A few things, Sue.
