I don't think you missed anything. One of my cousins set up a family blog with Blogger.com and to comment on it, each cousin has to sign in with the family login and password, create their own, or stay anonymous. I think that is one downfall of Blogger (and maybe other free services) - I understand that they want more people to use their services, but it would nice to be able to comment on other people's blogs without having to create an account.

Sorry about that. I posted the wrong home page address in my last comment. We have a new school technology leadership blog - so new that I, as one of the authors, still wasn't sure about the address!

Thanks for that info, Amy. Tripod does allow people to post to blogs without setting up accounts, but I think the free blogs have ads (just like the free Web sites). I suppose I could ask people to include names in the comment for those times when we want to know who said what.

This next week I'm going to use the Blogger.com blog again with a group on a visioning exercise. It'll be in lieu of a 'read the room' exercise. My thinking is that it will be more convenient and they'll have an archive to refer to later.
