NEW FEATURE: Online Pictogram / Pictograph creator

Posted on September 29, 2011 by primaryt

A few days ago Matt Lovegrove mentioned he didn’t have any simple pictogram (aka pictogramme / pictograph) software for his network so we went about making him something up!

We decided to make a simple, free, online pictogram creator. This gives you the freedom to use the tool however you see fit!

Key Features:

Images automatically load
Up to 5000 items/rows
We still have no ideas if this is supposed to be called a pictogramme, pictogrammen, pictogram or pictograph creator..
No need to download/install any software
Completely free
Super awesome.
Open source

PrimaryBlogger Updates

Posted on September 11, 2011 by

It’s been a long two weeks. We’ve moved PrimaryBlogger over to our new servers and hopefully you’ll now have a more stable and fast experience with your blogs. You’ll also see a lot of changes happening graphically and functionality wise to improve your overall experience of PrimaryBlogger.

Heres a list of the things we’re currently doing and are looking at for the future:

Soon, we’ll be starting polls and asking for feedback for any changes you would like to see or improve upon, be it themes, plugins or something else.
To improve overall speed of the site we’ve turned off some of the plugins we use by default, don’t worry you can still enable them in the plugins section in the wp-admin area.
We’ve added the ability to remove your user account if you so wish.
More spam fighting tools.
Use PrimaryBlogger to host your school’s website.
PrimaryBlogger custom themes.

New PrimaryBlogger website coming soon.
PrimaryBlogger Pro and other packages coming soon.
A better PrimaryBlogger support website coming soon.

We hope you enjoy everything we’ve done, let us know any feedback in the comments, Twitter, Primary Technology answers forum or by email.
