PrimaryBlogger updates

We had scheduled some PrimaryBlogger maintenance time in tonight to update the file system and that meant that some admin pages would not be available. We didn’t expect a) it would take so long, b) it would be so disruptive, c) teachers would still be adding posts to their blogs at 22:30.. We have put it off till midnight when it will start again..

Apologies!

New PrimaryWall features: Search results count and Wordle export

Ever wanted to export your Primarywall note contents to Wordle? Now you can! When on a wall click Share -> Go!

Ever wanted to know how many times a certain word has been used on a wall? Now when you search for a word you get a word count. This is better than other systems as you can type part of a word and use that as a work around for spelling mistakes :)

My Teachmeet tale

This is a short tale that will tell you exactly why people like me need to go to Teachmeets.

I rocked up at Teachmeet, flyers out, brain on, willing to listen. The talks were all great and then @largerama got up and showed something similar to PrimaryWall. Brilliant, I thought, because it wasn’t as nice as PrimaryWall but he showed 2 features PrimaryWall doesn’t have!! Oh noes!! Export to Wordle and another one that is coming soon, sssh(secrets)! Anyway.. Long story short, I was at TM on Thursday, I did 30 minutes implementing the new wordle feature today and it’s now live… 30 minutes!! That’s all it takes for a great idea to end up on a great platform.. Kudos to @Largerama, he is a genie’s bum!

The functionality is available for both pro and basic accounts. PrimaryT will make a formal announcement later this week hopefully once all the CSS is polished etc.

Primarywall Pro accounts are now available!

Password protect walls

Change background

Safe Search have provided us with 8 topical backgrounds that you can apply, there is an also a blank background so you can get more a focus on the notes. When you change the background it automatically updates on everyone else’s wall.
