I am afraid that I have made a mistake in setting up their blogs. I batch created their accounts making myself the admin on their blogs and setting their roles as subscribers on their blogs and on the class blog. Now, they have not power to post to their own blogs. They may only post to the class blog (after I changed their roles to contributors on the class blog). How can I go back and make them editors/admins on their own blogs so that they can now post on their blogs. The class blog is getting very messy with student posts.

In one, the students are able to add images, but in the other blog the students don't even see the Add image icon, and I have to change them all to author temporarily. The only differences I can see is the theme chosen, and one is not public yet. Any explanation? This is the blog that works OK- http://mecslib.globalstudent.org.au/ and my homepage is the one that doesn't. Carole Hi

But you are using fake student IDs so that you have created their student IDs and doesn't link to real, identifying information supplied by the school. Plus you have use the gmail+ method where the emails are being sent to the one gmail account (for example, room19+samp@gmail.com, room19+sued@gmail.com) How can that be an issue for admin? The emails aren't going to the students and the student aren't identifiable. Please correct me if I have that information wrong. I may be wrong -- and I'm happy for other teachers to convince me of reasons why we would hid the profile page - but at this point in time I can't see any reason for hiding profile pages because it is important for password changes etc. @landrews, I’m sorry but maybe I’m misinterpreting what you are saying so please feel free to clarify if I have or if any of the other teachers here want to share their thoughts — I would like to hear it.

I have an interesting situation. I teach in an alt. ed. school for girls. Internet access is pretty restricted; students can't have access to email or social networking sites and there are alot of other web pages blocked. I did get permission to use a blog. I created generic student id names using my gmail address and assigned contributor status to each. However, when I tested what this allowed them to do AND see I was dismayed to find out that the gmail address assigned to that student id name is visible in the profile page. That is a no-no as far as admin goes. I understand that if they try to use it I will get the responses back. Is there any way to block students from seeing the profile page? Hello.
