I am very excited to learn some of the options available - especially the comment moderation. I want to share this with teachers. I think they will really like being able to approve a comment before it is visible like they can with teacherweb blog pages.
Questions I still have...after I edited the blog Home page to take away the "New Blog" line, then I have trouble getting back to the dashboard and to where I can Customize Settings. Is there an easy way/link that I am not seeing? This has been frustrating. I put the "New Blog" line back so I could continue the assignment tasks and then just now took it off again.
I tried the Mail-to-Blogger feature using my own school email and it worked. I don't know yet how I would use this with students or colleagues.

Hi Charlotte,
Sounds like an amazing cruise! I'm so jealous.
Since I've removed the top toolbar from my blog as well, I find myself just typing "blogger.com" into the address bar. If I'm logged in; it takes me right to the dashboard, and if I'm not logged in; it takes me to the login screen.
Hope that helps,
~Nicole
Hi Charlotte, I am having trouble getting back to the dashboard, too. On edublogs there is a meta gadget that allows you to sign in and edit from the blog, but I can't find it on blogger. Good question for Robin and Nicole, although I didn't think of it when I commented. Can't wait to hear more about your vacation. I hope I will get to see more of you now that I am an ITS.
Charlotte,
I had the same frustration with removing the navigation bar. I haven't found a way to keep the dashboard features I like while hiding the "next blog" link. The only way around it that I've found is to go to www.blogger.com to make changes to your blog. I'm so used to using the links in the top right corner that it's going to take a while to retrain myself.

Charlotte,
I just bookmarked the dashboard page... you might want to do that, or just type in blogger.com to prompt your password and enter the dashboard. Or you could always just leave the Blogger navigation bar on your blog. My template has an edit button, it just doesn't work!
