Great to hear from you, Dolors. I hope it hasn't gotten too hot there
yet. In answer to the first question, it is up to you. You can give
them your school passcode, or give them the following instructions and
have them generate their own:

You can register your school for Blogmeister by going to:

http://classblogmeister.com/?blog=rethink

Complete the form that appears, and Class Blogmeister will generate a
unique code for your school, which your teachers can use to register.

Also, urge them to joing the Yahoo Groups mailing list for Class
Blogmeister teachers. Questions can be posed there for answers from
experienced users. You can subscribe to this group by sending an empty
e-mail message to:

classblogmeister-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

As for question 2, well I'm simply not that good a programmer. I'll
take a look to see if there is some sort of plug in that would do the
trick, but it would likely be a Java thing, and that always gets you
into trouble because it behaves differently with IE and Firefox, and
Safari, etc.

But let me see what I can do...

Great luck to you!
