		<description>Hello. 
 
Nice site design. Okay, I need your advice. 
So, I wanna make my secondary school site, and I am looking for site template. 
Can you advice some online place or other resource where I can find many site templates? 
 
It would be better if it will be free:) 
I think many of us have personal sites, do you design it yourself? 
 
Regards, Bill.</description>

		<description>&quot;...........Back over at my own professional association’s EdNa Group (sorry - locked to the outside world) &quot;

Says it all - although I can perfectly understand that given the pressure of a group who are determining their position in the network it becomes the realm of a few individuals to re-define where and what composities confidentiality and at what point competitive advantage overtook the need to apologise.

Or in less than cryptic tones - why ?

What has the Association to hide and who holds the key to it&#039;s content ?

I&#039;m all for the country mile provided I&#039;m trudging it through sleet and snow and mud and cow dung to get to the pub only to find it&#039;s out of beer. 

Thats the issue with forums mostly - threads, threads and more frayed material trying to fit through the eye of academic needle :-)</description>

		<description>Hello Graham

The problem with a forum is that the goal posts can move. Is that a bit too obscure? In Nancy White&#039;s article at http://kt.flexiblelearning.net.au/edition-11-editorial/blogs-and-community-–-launching-a-new-paradigm-for-online-community/ she talked about new paradigms.
One of the images that has stuck with me is the idea that within a forum where there are many strands the focus can very easily move from one strand to another.
I don&#039;t think a blog is as easily hi-jacked, although you may say something which makes your reader resolve never to read your blog again :-)
Stronger voices in a forum can also hi-jack the discussion, especially if they are determined to be the definitive-answer-to-everything on every strand of the forum. These stronger voices are also capable of deterring anybody else from commenting. The question in a forum is how much intervention there should be.</description>

		<description>Graham,
There was an interesting post in Moodlezine, discussing the similarities and differences between blogs, journals and forums. I blogged about it here:
&lt;a href=&quot;http://plunkers.blogspot.com/search?q=forums&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Blogs in Education - just a passing fad?  &lt;/a&gt;
This blog entry contains links to the Moodlezine article if you wish to read it. It was an interesting read.</description>
