Another e-mail subscription service

Blogging and sharing brings a lot of rewards. Thanks to a comment Hala left in my previous post, I decided to visit her blog and leave her a comment in return. But before I did so, a widget in her sidebar called my attention. It's ChangeDetection, an e-mail based notification service you can add to your blog or website to let visitors know when your page changes. What's more, they can monitor a page under certain conditions, for example if they want to be notified only if text has been added (or removed), or if added/removed text contains specific words.
It looks pretty similar to FeedBlitz, which I use and like a lot. Will have to explore further to see if there are any differences.

Blogging for Beginners - Week 5

Let's suppose you're an expert blogger. Or at least have some experience blogging with your students. You can share your experience with the participants of this year's Blogging for Beginners EVO session. How? Simple! I will be in charge of week 5 in which we'll discuss how you can personalize your blog's template by adding widgets like chatboards, clocks, subscription buttons, webnotes, etc., etc., and all kinds of links (for more examples take a look at this blog's sidebar and footbar). What I'd like you to do is just send me an Odeo voice message, explaining what add-ons in your blog you find useful with your students. The messages received will be posted in our Blogging for Beginners blog and will be reviewed by participants to form an idea of how they can enhance their blogs' communicative potential.

Please use the link above or the one in the sidebar to send me your messages. Your help will be appreciated!

Another clock for your site

In one of his messages to LwC, Dennis mentioned mir.Pod.com a website that offers a free mp3 player for your site. I couldn't make it work (YET) but I found another interesting widget. It's this clock. What's interesting about it is that you can change the text in the display area and the size of the clock.
