Feed digest removed

(The following might be hard to understand for new bloggers).

Originally I had the idea of aggregating all student blog feeds into one single feed. That would make it easy for us to follow all the blogs. Unfortunately the service I tried (FeedDigest), wants around USD 50 per year to digest the number of feeds required. Therefore I have deleted the digested feed (aedbefeeds) and removed the links to that feed and it's html-version in my blog roll (right hand column here).

Your (and my) alternative is to subscribe according to the instructions on item 4 in my post about the assignment structure.

Please open up for comments

As e-grasshopper rightfully says in a Skype-chat-message to me:

Hi Richard, please published on the AE DBE Blog information, that all of
students, should turn on the possibility of commenting posts by user who are not
blogger.com users (like me). Thx

That is, some blogging tools/services/hotels has "allow comments" disabled by default for anonymous or un-registered users. In your tool, find out how to enable commenting for various type of visitors on your blog. Typically you can also per post specify how you allow commenting.

Being unique

If you want to be someone special, then you have to live that quest. As it is now, some of you have chosen not-so-very-distinct names for your blog. In one case, a student blog has the same template as the AE DBE blog. It is very easy to swithc templates, but harder to change the name of your blog.
