There are still too many barriers to entry in the use of these wonderful new technologies. Very reminiscent of early Internet days.
So, I've successfully installed mt 2.5, and it works wonderfully. (After multiple conversations with our dept sysadmin about perl plug-ins...) Now I want to add RSS aggregation to my site, but the process is opaque at best. Nothing appears to be build into mt, and the external tools aren't immediately obvious in terms of use.
Too much grading to do today to be able to explore interesting-looking aggregation tools like AmphetaDesk>. Maybe later this week, once projects are graded and lectures are done. Maybe.
