Google finally forced my hand and made me upgrade to New Blogger. I'll admit to not being entirely happy about this. I was perfectly happy with Old Blogger. That said, I discovered that this forced upgrade solves some unimportant problems that I've been having. 1) Feedburner FINALLY works. I was never able to get the feed to work correctly on old Blogger. For the transition, I deleted the feed and re-added it. I'm using the RSS choice. ONce that is complete, cut and paste the chicklet found in the Publicize section of your Feedburner account into your Blogger Template. These are ...

I had a fun discussion last night with several friends / colleagues. We were trying to hypothesize why so many (e)Learning 2.0 initiatives don’t get the traction we would expect, both at our organization and at other organizations. Several of us learning tech geeks see such great opportunities with learning 2.0, but it sometimes feels like others just don’t get it .

Based on my experience in visiting blogs for the first time and having a hard time deciding what the content of the blog really was, I decided that what I needed was a blog guide. So, I decided to create a Blog Guide for my own blog and put a permanent link for it on my blog up in the header. Since I just saw a post by Jim Belshaw that referenced it ... approach. Would it be helpful to have a similar Blog Guide on this blog? On most Blogs?

I saw another post from Dave Boggs, Has The Blogging Trend Begun To Fade, Even Before It Ever Got Started In Corporate Training / e-Learning Environments? In this post, Dave unfortunately lumps together blogs, wikis, mashups, rss feed together (probably because eLearning 2.0 and web 2.0 often lump them together). However, I think the answer about adoption rates is going to be quite different for these things with Wikis and Mashups being adopted at a very high rate. RSS and Blogs have much slower adoption. Wikis provide an opportunity for us to create reference hybrids - Shift in ...

I rely pretty heavily on Google Blog Search to help me find people who are citing blog posts of mine so that I can see that kind of conversation. Unfortunately, it looks like Google Blog Search has decided that they will now include the entire contents of the web page rather than just the contents of the RSS feed. What this means is that I now get links to every post where the author includes my blog in their blog roll. This completely defeats my purpose. I want a nice clean RSS feed of any posts that include links to my various sites. I can't tell if this is something that ...
