It's edumacational

So my course web site/blog is finally up. One thing that is kind of funny, is that before when I was working full time and part time faculty my web space was at faculty.washington.edu, now that I'm back working on the PhDizzle, they've changed my space back to staff.washington.edu. I love academia. You always know exactly where you are in the hierarchy...and not even the computing services let you forget it.

So I'm using a bright orange template, that I assume noone will love but me. I've disabled comments and instead linked to a catalyst dicussion board hoping that the students will participate more - based on feedback from last year.

Couple techie issues for any of you fellow edubloggers (did I just coin a new term?)

• Is it possible to edit the comments tags, so I can list a discuss link that takes users to the discussion board. They do it at the Slog, and I kind of hate it there, but I still want to implement it cause it would work for my small audience
  
• Can you have more than one sitemeter for the same acct, I have a sitemeter here - but just wanted to add another one. I looked on there site and couldn't figure it out.

I'm psyched to start teaching again. I think it'll be a good group and the class is really evolving or perhaps it's being really intelligently designed (thanks to the Mollusk for the link).

I'm off to hang with Conor from the link to the right of Conor does the world. He is winding down his trek around the world by coming to Seattle - should be fun.
