This ain’t yo mama’s e-portfolio, part 1

It’s been over a year now since my full-fledged burn, baby, burn conversation with Gardner Campbell about WordPress Multi-User, ELS Blogs, the Digital Five Ring Binder, and the underpinnings of re-imagining an online distributed space for teaching and learning that both encompasses and moves beyond e-portfolios, capturing a whole range of activities both for [...]

So a few weeks ago I blogged about the Drupal installation I was going to create. I had a plan and began to implement it. I had installed Drupal in a Multi-Site configuration but as I worked on the server, I realized that it was too [...]

WordPress: power and simplicity

Subtitle: Are we ready to take WordPress as a CMS seriously yet?

This is a post that was inspired by both a question on OLDaily as well as a post about Drupal documentation on Half an Hour. I originally threw out a flippant response to the “Joomla or Drupal?” question in regards to open source content [...]

Getting My Moose On: Blogs as a Web Publishing Framework

OK, so I am gonna have to earn my keep during my stay up North, for the folks of Northern Voice have been nothing but golden thus far. In particular, I want to give a gigantic shout out to Brian Lamb- who has bent over backwards to make sure that everything runs smoothly during my [...]
