What happened? submitted by Elly93 view answers - answer it! Posted 7/20/2010 at 6:34 PM Latest Updates from featuredweblogs Where's Waldo? Cries of "I found him, I found him!" "Look! It's Waldo!" and "I FOUND YOU!" echoed throughout the beach and bluff of the St. Joseph Venetian Festival today. It all started because I told my dad he ought to dress up as Waldo for Halloween. A few days later I heard my mom say, "Oh. My. Gosh. What in the WORLD?" when the back door opened. He had walked in, empty Amazon box under his arm, wearing the costume. There was a time in my life when I would have been mortified to see my dad go out in public like this, but now I think it's hilarious! I was his Character Assistant and personal photographer for the too-hot-to-be-wearing-long-sleeves-day. One of the vendors gave him a water bottle for free because he didn't want to see a character from his youth have a heat stroke. More Here...

Daily Update from Your Subscriptions! Date: Monday, July 19, 2010 Username: ira27snider Latest Updates from TheXangaTeam Upgrading your Private Pages As promised, we're starting the final stretch of our upgrades to the new private page! The new private page supports personal search, color and header customization, and a unified look – as well as clean up of the Private Messages, Friends Manager, and Profile Pics interfaces. A few notes to highlight: If you are using the "Old Private Home" (the one that uses custom look and feel), nothing will change.  You will continue to be able to use your existing private page, with its custom look and feel. If you would rather stay on the un-upgraded private home page, we'll allow you to downgrade for a period of several weeks until the upgrade is finalized. Other than that, we'll slowly start upgrading the private pages for everyone except users of the "old private home" (those will be left alone, although you can still try out the upgrade if you'd like).  We'll start with 25% of users for now.  If you're not included in the upgrade, you can upgrade yourself here! We'd love to hear continued feedback on the upgraded private page, so let us know in the comments! Posted 7/19/2010 at 3:42 PM - 26 eprops - 14 comments

Edublogs News - Three New Exciting Plugins!

Email not displaying correctly? View it in your browser. Hi Edublogs User, Last time, we wrote to tell you about how Pro blogs now get 10 gigs of storage space for you to be able to upload and share even more videos, images, and files.   We wanted to let you know about THREE new plugins available to Pro and Campus users - which we think you will love.   1. PayPal Plugin - This plugin allows you to collect donations and payments right inside of your blog. Payments for field trips, materials, clubs and more are now easy to manage - and are available in over 100 currencies and countries. Read more about the PayPal plugin here! 2. Calendar Plugin - It is now easier than ever to keep everyone up to date and informed by using this new powerful plugin. It is easy to manage events, assignments, birthdays, or exams right from inside your blog's dashboard. Read more about the calendar plugin here! 3. Facebook Like Plugin - This plugin will place a "like" button at the top or bottom of your posts. Since many of your students or blog readers are probably on Facebook, this helps build community and interaction on your blog. Read more about the Facebook Like plugin here! Please visit our help post for instructions on how to activate plugins and use them in your blog.  Be on the look out for more new plugins and features in the coming months. Feel free to reply to this email with your ideas on what you would like to see next!
