It’s been a little while since I last perused the Wordpress website, wordpress being the software I use to run all of my websites, I was pleasantly surprised. My main reason for visiting the WP site was to update some of the themes I use, mainly for this and my ashtanga yoga website, and the themes are looking really slick now.

Afterwards I decided to peruse the plug-ins, and more pleasant surprises, there’s one that allows you to include multiple RSS feeds in one post or page (www.colincaprani.com/programming/multifeedsnap), and two others. One allows you to email the users who have registered on your site (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/email-users), and one that automatically sends emails to users - depending on their preference settings or not (wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subscribe2) .

Finally the Wordpress software itself (I just upgraded to the latest version tonight, quick and easy of course), is getting better and better. So a big thanks to all those people who provide the tools I use for free. THANK YOU ALL.

One of my volunteering commitments is for a Moodle installation at REIWA’s E-Learning centre. The following websites should help me learn how to administer it.

• Moodle Documentation
• Using Moodle
• Moodle Tutorials, Tips, and Sample Courses
• Learn Moodle
• How to Moodle
• How to Use the Moodle Course Management System
• Teacher Manual

• List of Social Media News Websites

This link lists so many potentially useful websites. I have found a dozen at least that I shall be exploring, probably with RSS feeds.
