I got a little carried at the start of the semester by creating blogs for both the forest management practices and surveying class. I found that I just didn’t have that many entries to write. Sometimes postings could fit in more than one class. I decided to just have one blog for my teaching activities. I will use tags to differentiate entries designed for different courses.
I decided to export the data from the blogs and then import it into my main blog on the Penn State Movable Type platform. It seemed easy enough to do when it was time to change from version 3 to 4 of the blogging software. Even when I looked at the documentation it wasn’t entire clear. Not all the options seem to have been turned on in this version.
The solution I blundered into was to select Import. That brings up a menu with both import and export options. Everything worked well after that. All my blogs are consolidated. I will just have to eliminate the old blogs. Then I will change the links on my web page and on the ANGEL course pages. Is this busy work or progress?
