Weebly greebly

This is more a "how not to" than a "how" but probably some of you will have great ideas I should have asked for before I started this!
My year thirteen class were doing newspaper-style columns for their assessment and I said they had to put them up on the web, thinking particularly about what one presenter said at a session (might have been at Ashburton??) that it tends to enhance presentation and proof-reading, as the real context keeps the kids more vigilant for errors. So I bravely ventured onto Weebly, where each kid made their own site. Yay! But now, if anyone wants to read all their columns, they have to go onto 20 different websites to find them. I think we might look at putting them up as blogs on this site, rather than as separate websites.

(Little note, too. In Hokitika, at least, when the kids get to choose their own website domain name, even year thirteen boys go for pen island (all one word) and are then surprised to find their enormously original idea isn't allowed!)
