  • 21:13 I confess to being utterly mystified by JS-Kit commenting. I understood Haloscan. Oh well, might be time to move blog platforms. So soon :^( #

    And what is JS-Kit?
    I’ve not seen it anywhere… still seem to have Haloscam? (so-called because of the way they sneaked adverts in…)

    It’s where you get redirected when you try to register a new Haloscan account.

    I like Haloscan for my school blogs, because allowing kids to write stuff to the web *gasp* is a bit outside my school’s comfort zone at the moment, she says, with the gift of understatement.

    With Haloscan I could not only moderate comments, but with a quick html tweak, I could remove the opportunity of homepage links on comments. (Kids linking to their Bebo pages is well outside *my* comfort zone – never mind my school’s!)

    I’m sure that with a bit of research and – ahem – knowledge I could do this with other platforms. Eg I’m using WordPress for my reborn teacher page, but I’m left feeling that if I were geekier, I could make it work soooo much better.

    Anyhoo, new Haloscan accounts are evidently off limits. I hope existing ones don’t follow.

    Ah, thanks, you’re fast becoming my best source of information.

    Can you require they enter, and save the kids social networking links (so you can look at them for a laugh, erm, I mean professional purposes), but make them not appear on their posts? Now that would be amusing 🙂

    Oh very good. I think will have to institute a Made TLC Laugh Award for that !
