Blogs at Penn State Community

I have now tried a number of times to schedule a blog post to be published at a later time. I did this by selecting "Scheduled" instead of "Unpublished" or "Published" and then I set the time and date on which I wanted to post to be published. However, when that time and date come and go, the item does not appear. Is there another step I am missing?

Thanks,
Chris

In MT3, the persistent links to my individual blog posts used underscores to replace spaces:

http:// ... /2008/04/this_is_a_test.html

MT4 uses hyphens:

http:// ... /2008/04/this-is-a-test.html

I don't know if this happened because of something I set previously in MT3 or if it was the default. I couldn't find a way to tell MT4 to use the old (underscore) method so I went to each of those underscore files and set up redirects to the new hyphenated version. Google penalizes for this, so I'm wondering if there's a way to tell MT4 to use the underscores again and then rebuild my site.

Hello there,

Thought I'd check back in to see if a potential date had been set for the blogs to be able to use protected space...any word on that issue?

Thanks,
Beth

I'm still finding the ground I feel comfortable standing on as far as being a fairly private person vs. there is some information I do want people to find and comment on. So, I have two very different blogs. The first I'm happy to just have a small following for -- not ready for the big time. The second blog I created is my genealogy. I want this to be findable so that others doing similar research can add to the collective knowledge. It was suggested that I add keywords (over and above tags) to increase the chances of a search engine finding it. I have done that for blog #2, but so far, if I Google for those keywords, there is no hit for the blog.

Recommendations?

does anyone know graduation information for Capital Campus, May 17, 2008?

The TLT Symposium site has some faculty stories including one on Phil Long who uses blogs in his philosophy courses. If you're using blogs, but not sure of all the logistics, this article might have some insights.

http://symposium.tlt.psu.edu/stories/ChrisLong

Interestingly, he has embraced the option of each student having his or her own blog. There are many valid ways to organize student blogging (including comments to posts), but it's interesting to see why he chose the other way.

Right now I have a set series of pages that accompany my blog.

How do I reorder these? Is there a way to do this other than to delete the pages and then repost them after I figure out that the most recent page is posted at the top of the list?

Would it be possible to create a block of pages within an open widget?

Please advise....

A few users are reporting that they are receiving errors that they don't have PASS space even though they may created it several years ago.

We are suggesting an ACL Reset http://blogger.psu.edu/help/advanced/acl to reconfigure everything.

If you continue to have problems, please report them to blogs@psu.edu.
