Hi Colin – that’s a hard question. I try to ensure I always write a response under the comment 1) so I remember that I have responded 2) so other readers know I do

Readers don’t always receive your comments in response to their comments – totally depends if they track comments. SO I think most people wouldn’t be offended if you copied and pasted your response under comment and by email. If concerned just say in email this is the comment I wrote in response.

Hi Sue,
I’m reading this after having ‘completed’ the day 1 task and I was wondering, is it lazy or rude to paste the email reply to a comment into your blog?
For task 1, I tried to make sure that my email message was different to the reply on my blog. I felt that both needed to show that I had given thought to the comment that had been left. Or, am I being too pedantic?
Colin

Ah Sue.

Tony Karrer is just an eclectic sort-of-a guy. He’s into everthing digital. He’s got so many blogs, I haven’t found them all yet.

With his background, and being the age he is, I’m surprised he doesn’t have his own blog-site provider. Time enough yet I guess

All lovely guys however Ken I specified probloggers as opposed to edubloggers. And if you look closely at Tony Karrer what blogging software is he using for Work Place Literacy?

Kia ora Sue You mean Bloggers like Stephen Downes, Edublog Award Winner Tony Karrer, or leading lights like Clive Shepherd or Donald Clarke. Gee, I guess I must just be following the wrong bloggers ;-) Catchya later from Middle-earth

Sarah – I think you may find that blogger is one of the few that doesn’t allow you to see email addresses. With both Wordpress and Typepad you can easily see the email addresses.

Hi Sarah - I'm more than happy for people who did the project previously to list their posts on the wiki here. Feel free to join and compile your list. I did start but found it too time consuming so just left it open for others to add themselves.
