Well, this is it - my final post on my edublogs blog!
From now on, you can find me ….

I’m really excited about my new self-hosting venture, though 
When I first managed to set it up, someone (sorry, can’t remember who?) on my twitter ‘network’ urged me to enjoy the new found freedom. I’m looking forward to the opportunities that self-hosting will bring - thank you to mrmckenzie for helping to make the transition almost pain-free 
I’ve plans to make a basic step by step guide of how I managed to make the ‘quantum leap’ and hope to post this on my new blog soon. Maybe others will read it and decide that it’s time for them to become more independent, too.
I’ve been liaising with a local school for deaf children because the teachers there wanted to set up class blogs. They had read some information I had posted on the L.A. website, and were eager to make use of the splendid edublogs resource I’ve been promoting. All the training notes and slideshows are on the website and when I visited the school today, the staff were keen to show me that they’d already made a start at setting up a class blog.
I didn’t have the heart to tell them what edublogs new policy is with regards to advertisements on their free educational blogs, and that …… ‘at the end of the day, they’re there to persuade you to become a supporter’. I feel that I’ve unintentionally misled them by telling them that edublogs was a safe, free site for educational bloggers.
It was the promise of a ‘free‘, ‘safe‘ and ‘educational‘ site that originally led me to choose edublogs for my own class blog. Thank goodness I can add wproom2’s blog to this site and keep it ad free while I prepare an action plan for other L.A. class blogs.
I actually feel more sad than angry now
