An occasional off-topic post keeps things interesting. 3. 95% of the writing on the blog should be done by the students. The primary goal is to make it their learning community, not yours. 4. Strongly encourage (mandatory) students to make "quality" comments on their peers blogs. The perception of an audience motivates the students to continue posting.

What makes them special? Specific communities & the potential that holds, better blogging systems, free and hopefully a whole lot moire down the line... To be honest I have a hatred of most things 'educational' so in terms of the systems themselves, there's going to be nowt different to a regular fully functional blogging setup.

What is the difference between edublogs.org uniblogs.org and learnerblog.org ? What makes them so special that they are suitable for student and teachers ? BTW: On both frontpages of learnerblogs.org and uniblogs.org there is a link named edublogs.org but links to learnerblogs.org Certainly I have missed something.
