Edgemere Blogs

Edgemere Blogs run on Wordpress MU with the following plug-ins:

• Akismet - Protects the blogs from spam comments.

• GT Post Approval Beta - Allows us to moderate the posts before they appear on the web.

• Inline MP3 player - When an entry has an accompanying audio file, this small Flash player will play it.

• Registered Users Only - This is activated for students who don’t have their parents’ permission to publish their work on the open web.

• Role Manager - This allows us to modify a little bit what the students are allowed to do.

• Unfiltered MU - When we need to embed something on a blog, like a VoiceThread, we need to have this activated.

• Viper’s Video Quicktags - This allows movie files to appear on the blog, from YouTube videos (they won’t appear within the school, however), QuickTime or Flash files.
