Sigh…

A huge win for the educational market is the ability to manage comments in a comprehensive way, with a filter or by allowing a site manager to queue all comments for approval. Plus it has the ability to password protect individual pages.

I get really frustrated sometimes by a) my inability (time and skills) to play around with other blogging software packages and b) by how close Manila comes to being the no-brainer choice for education. Problem is, until it builds in some of the functionality Bryan refers to above, it won’t. I know UserLand isn’t in this just for the education market (however big or small that may be,) but whatever educators finally end up adopting HAS TO HAVE the security and preview functionality to appease an ever more skittish group of administrators and parents (at least at my school, which I’m starting to think is leading the way in that department.)

Problem (?) is I feel like I’m pretty much married to Manila for at least the next couple of years…

Nancy Peralta might have the first Weblog as health hazard claim:

Let me start by stating, once again, that I absolutely love blogging! I think that’s my problem–that I love it so much I’ve jumped right in with reckless abandon. And now I’m paying the price for it–I’ve developed a pinched nerve running down my left leg from prolonged sitting!!! My reason for sharing this information is not to scare anyone away from blogging but to remind everyone to work ergonomically.

Ouch! We need to find Nancy a way to blog more safely! Feel better soon!
