Site migration

Hi Freire Project Members,

Last night (Monday August 17) we moved servers. Your bookmarks, RSS feeds etc. should still work, but we are officially now located at http://freireproject.org.

Please contact me if you notice any strange behaviour.

Pasting from Word and Subscribing: a note to Shirley's class

Just a quick note for those of you cutting and pasting from Word: Before pasting your post into the box, click on the "Switch to plain text editor" link under the box.

Unfortunately Word and the internet don't play nicely. If you really want to use Word to write your blog, and you want to retain the formatting from the Word document, you can use the "Paste from Word" buttong in the rich text editor. Contact me if you can't figure this out!

And by all mean subscribe to the group page by clicking "Subscribe" at the bottom of this page and then selecting "Subscribe to this page" from the options that will be listed. You will then receive emails whenever someone adds content to the group.

best,

David

Cross Posting and Groups

Hi all,

Just a reminder to post links to your blogs on all your external sites and social networks (facebook, myspace, twitter, etc). 

It will really help us build the communityAnd . . .

Also, don't forget to join some of our groups or even create your own group. Just click on "Create Content", and then "Groups". Then invite your community to join you using the "Invite friend" link on your new group page. Let me know if you need any help doing so.

Open Access Dialogue Hijacked

Hi all,

Unfortunatley a very healthy debate about open access on this site was hijacked by another's site's agenda.

And so the Freire blogger who started the conversation asked us to remove all the content surrounding it. To be clear, The Freire Project hasn't censored anyone.

It saddens me greatly that this has hapenned, as I was really hoping that the Freire Project and our community was going to learn a thing or two and also offer its two cents to the Creative Commons movement.

But hopefully this conversation can start afresh now that the troll seems to have stopped their aggression.

All the best,

David
