Ancient experiments in blogging

My first post!

You should now see, below Michelle’s inaugural blog post, some old University Library news stories dating from last year (2007).

These were from an experimental news blog which I ran on the University’s PebblePad PDP* software, and which I’ve captured from the PebblePad RSS feed and imported into this blog using WordPress’s “import” function…

…they’re here purely for the sake of historical completeness!

You’ll see that the text of each of the posts has been cut off after (quick count) 300 or so characters. I’ve no idea why it’s done this – whether it’s a function of PebblePad’s RSS output, or something that WordPress has done. If anyone knows how to fix it, let me know and I’ll try again.

The original PebblePad blog is still out there for comparison at: http://pebblepad.lincoln.ac.uk/viewasset.aspx?oid=2098&type=blog

    Excellent, Paul! It’s great to see the blogs up and running. We’re blogging over at the Learning Lab, too. Here’s a page that provides an overview of all Learning Lab blog posts. I look forward to keeping up with news, events and opinion from LLR.
