I enjoy reading your blog. It is very informed and focused. It also has very useful links and information. My blog is all over the place. It's more of a busman's holiday than a work project. The Technorati Shanghai search gave me my first list of blogs to put in the chart, but I knew some blogs were missing so I manually searched for them and logged the number of links, before assembling the chart. The biggest problem I had was working with tables in html. Wordpress 2.1 likes to rerender html in strange ways, but it would be good if there was a mashup to display this data as a live widget. I have had a little bit of negative feedback about this post, but lists of any kind are not meant to be taken too seriously and the aim was to inform myself and others about Shanghai's English language bloggers, mostly doing it for no or very little money. I am interested to read your progress in installing Moodle and blog software at SAS. I teach at BISS Pudong and have been using Moodle with ICT secondary classes for the last year. At the momonet, I am hosting my Moodle site from the US, but we are in the process of moving it across to a local web server, but our network manager is a keen on using Radius to authenticate accounts using a unified login for all aspects of the network. I have begun experimenting with ELGG as a blogging, digital portfolio and social networks tool for schools that is far less structured than Moodle and offers more scope for students to showcase their achievements creatively. Have you had any experience of ELGG? A year ago, some colleagues at SCIS and Concordia organised a forum to share common issues and ideas related to technology issues in Shanghai international schools. It didn't really get off the ground, although it would be very useful if there was a forum for like minded people to bounce ideas off each other, maybe a TWIT-like podcast for Shanghai. Good luck with your new learning network. Catch up with you soon, Matt Hi Jeff,
