We shifted some of our default comment settings in rampages. This is an attempt to give students better insight into what setting options they have and why they might make certain choices. DISCUSSIONS IN WORDPRESS Commenting is one feature of WordPress that you can control so that it behaves in ways that match your personal […]
I realize I have many, many things. It’s not clear if those things will be of use to other humans but, at worst, here is something you can ignore. At best, take some hard-won experience and avoid the hassle. These five things solve 98% of our mother blog syndication issues for students. On the professor […]
This little function in a network activated plugin on WordPress multisite will require comment users to be a member of the multisite to comment. The setting can be changed by the blog admin but it makes the default setting a bit more restrictive. It’s changing the value in Dashboard>Settings>Discussion. […]

One of the requests yesterday was to be able to create a mini-dictionary of target language words at the beginning of sections written in that target language. Mousing over the words would show their English equivalent. The intent is to have […]
I have been doing little other than semi-real web development for three weeks across a number of projects. It’s a level of sustained practice/work that I’ve probably never done before. Who knew that kind of focus could actually result in fairly dramatic improvement? One of the projects is the reconstruction of our ALT Lab department […]
We have a site on rampages.us that’s being used for the creation of world language OER modules. They’re using H5P and a variety of media elements with some text to give context etc. The goal was to be able to embed these pages on another WordPress site that is running PressBooks on another server. There […]
As you may have seen here before VA passed a bill saying universities can’t have student email visible without written consent from the student. We had a legacy site that had student emails as part of the title structure for the posts. We had stuff titled stuff like This is twwoodward@ecuniv.edu post or This is […]
We’re on our way to building an interesting knitting of sites for our Environmental Studies program. Imagine a tiered connection of syndication that moves from student portfolio sites at the base through courses in the middle and up to the program at the top. It’s a pyramid of aggregation where the metadata can be added […]
