A few people have asked to have a peek at the blogging tool that I use for my Spanish conversation class. Knowing that, I had great plans to make a photochop images with arrows and numbers and what nots….and then gave up and just made tour using Jing
My colleague, Justin, created the WordPress blog theme we used here and called it Bombyx. He also created the sidebar widgets that create youtube and still image agregators.
More tours coming soon…stay tuned.
To poke around in your own, feel free to stop in here. Please leave a comment on one of my students’ blogs before you go. 🙂

Hi Barbara,
We met briefly at the IALLT banquet. I am a huge fan of this blog. The course aggregator you show here is gorgeous. I have a personal blog, but haven’t worked with multiuser yet. Digging around on the wordpress site hasn’t gotten me anything similar to what you have here. (I did watch your video, which was great for displaying the functionality but not a how-to!) Can you direct me to any useful resources in developing a class blog with a similar feel to this one?
Thanks!
Dominique,
Thank you for writing and for being a “subscriber” to LLU. Pardon my dely in getting back to you but I wanted to wait until the blogging tool that we use here for my classes (and now about 10 other classes, including non language classes as well) was ready for export. And now it is!
