I finally got around to looking at Jotspot. I managed to set up a wiki for our Assessment and Evaluation Committe as well as my University class.
This looks like a potentially powerful tool.
Our IT dept. installed WordPress today. I played with it a bit and managed to have them install a few templates. I still need more time to explore it but I know many bloggers in education use it. ( I listened to a podcast from a WordPress user this morning, Steve Dembo aka teach42)
Not that we’re ready for it yet but as over the past few days, I recieved several requests for blogs and would like to offer more options than blogger even though up until this point, it serves my purposes.
Have a look at the WordPress blog. If you have any good tutorials on using it, please post them. I haven’t looked for any yet.

Hey Dean
Great to see you’ve hopped on the blog train! I’ve really been enjoying your stuff so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing more.
I don’t know if you’ve come across it yet, but the WordPress Codex is the official documentation repository for WordPress. And they are using MediaWiki to run it!
Thanks Rob, you can take some credit into my development as a blogger. Your enthusiasm last year kept me intrigued and gave me a personal introduction to the “sport”.
Keep up the good work!
Dean
If you have several people who want to get into the Blogging scene, you may want to start off with the multi-user version of WordPress. James Farmer has setup a free place where you can go and create a wordpress blog on his site using WordPress multiuser. Go over to http://incsub.org/wpmu/wp-inst/register.php and simply put in the name that you want! Pretty darn cool and great for eliminating the need to have some create installation after installation of wordpress.
Excellent site, enjoyed my visit! I will be back soon!
