Steps
Here is a provisional list of steps we could take to move towards the fruition of our pilot weblog project:
1) Luke researches best value web hosting accounts with necessary features
2) Luke liases with Blake, Jane, Robin and Sara (et al) to agree on hosting account
3) Luke completes installation of Movable Type software on G.G.'s server and implements G.G. hub blog
4) Peter Ford develops blog project educational and support material for staff and kids
5) We all ongoingly discuss the nature of the pilot project regarding structure and content, integration with offline project(s) etc.
6) Luke and Peter (and others?) produce costings for our educational consultancy work
7) Luke and Jane(?) identify costs for project as a whole (incl. consultancy) and produce funding application(s)
8) Luke helps G.G. staff (those who are so inclined) to get blogging!
9) (e.g.) Odiri works with kids at (e.g.) Pertwood Farm on poetry writing
10) (e.g.) Blake types up poems to put on hub blog along with photos as example of possibilities
11) blogging education work starts in (e.g.) Roots and Shoots youth group (after half-term break of Autumn term?)

Some ideas of the basics that need to be covered in an introductory training:
Posting text - changing font, size, colour etc - new entries
Posting images including pre-editing images to reasonable sizes
Hyperlinking - mechanics - importance of as 'currency' of the web
Posting comments directly to other weblogs - mechanics - identifying postive and constructive approaches.
Basic set-up - changing titles, taglines, templates
About the introductory training, when and where will it happen? Who will be the trainees; is it limited to just schools? Will it be on-line, off-line or both? Will there be lots of practical examples of how to use the funky things like "wikis & moodles?" Will registration be as easy as ABC? i.e. does one need to spend a lifetime trying to post comments? Answers please, thank you.
