Sure! I've put a Word document with three screen shots in my homepage folder: My description is keyed to that document. http://mail.sbschool.org/~bivey/blogexample.doc 1. Each student has her own username and password, and when she signs in she can click on the word "blog" and see a list of all blogs. You can see the viewings for each student far outnumber the number of times I've seen each blog. 2. Once an entry is typed in and saved an individual blog looks like this. 3. There's a space to add comments, which I always do, and which the kids sometimes do for each other as well (usually when they want to read a book someone else has written about). I believe one must have a username and password for our group to see these blogs. I guess there's the possibility a student would write something untoward which might be read by other students before I see it, but so far this hasn't been an issue. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions.
