In the last few months I have been focusing on my Moodlerific site. Moodlerific is a blog all about the Learning Management System, Moodle.

I created this site because I’m a Moodle administrator in a large school district located in the Twin Cities in Minnesota and I wanted to create a place surrounding the software. Here, I post a variety of posts about Moodle news, resources, links, tips and any other information concerning Moodle.

Back in November of 2008 I didnt know what this blog would give me or any potential readers. So far, Moodlerific has given me a way to share my knowledge and to ask for others knowledge and advice. Having this blog has also given me motivation to keep up with blog posts (unlike this blog, woops!) and continue looking for useful Moodle resources and links to share. I was also recently offered an opportunity to read and review the book,  Moodle Administration.

It will be nice to have a site archiving all of the content and resources I’ve found and want to share and hopefully the site will provide some Moodle users with their own Moodle experience.

Take a look at my Moodlerific blog and leave any feedback!

Better late than never?

I am currently working on our district’s wpmu installation and the main blog. I was asked by my boss to see if we can get some sort of listing of our staff’s blogs that are set to public. With a little trouble at first (not unzipping the plugin file before opening because I thought it was just a .php file on win2003 server, duh!) I was able to install a little plug-in called list-all and by following the instructions on wpmu tutorials I was easily able to create a page listing all of the public blogs!

While completing the above task I wondered how I could make the theme I was using unavailable to others because I do not want regular users to see the member listing template when adding a new page (a new page was added to the theme). Towards the end of the instructions I was presented with a link doing just that! I then went on to my next task to enable the theme for just the main blog.

I’m excited to give our staff a blogging option that is hosted in house. I plan to get more comfortable with Wordpress code and maybe even look into creating a custom plug-in…well…maybe…
