Hi Theresa, to change it on each student blog you need to log into their dashboard and go to Users > All Users. If you are an admin user on their blogs you should have a link to their dashboard in Dashboard > My Blogs inside your account.

Thanks, that worked! I have a second question about user roles. I would like to change to role of students who have parent permission slips so that they are Administrators on their own blogs. I want them to be Subscribers on the class blog. When I go the class blog dashboard and click on Users, there is only one role I can change. Is that the role for the class blog? Where do I change their role on their own blog?

Hi Theresa, it looks like you have added them as a user to your blog rather than create a blog for them?

What you need to do is go to Users > Blog & User Creator in your Pro blog dashboard and click on Create Blogs tab then follow the instructions on this page – http://help.edublogs.org/2009/08/31/creating-student-blogs-using-the-blog-user-creator/ For students who already have an existing username you just add their email address (and don’t include their username or password). Once you’ve done that you then set up the blog roll using the blog URLs you have created.

Help! I recently got an Edublog Pro account and set up a blog for my class. I would like for each of my students to have their own blog that is linked the the main class blog. At this point I have entered all my students usernames, email addresses and passwords. The list of their names shows up in the blogroll on the main page. However, when I click on a student’s name, instead of going to their page, I am sent to the Edublog page for setting up a new account. What am I missing? Why don’t my students have pages?

I just purchased a pro acct and am trying to set up my class blog. http://www.cynthiamadanski.edublogs.org
When I set up pages, shouldn’t they be static, with no opportunity to comment or leave a post? I would like to have information links (like the about the class, blog guidelines…) that do not have the “blog” feel at the bottom, just the information, nothing to comment. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Tomorrow I will try to set up my students… thanks for any help!

Hi Leslee, you have checked our recent post on Getting blogs ready for the end of school year?

I had no problem using the “Blog and user creator” — now how do I turn them off, or stop them. School year is over and do not want to allow kids to continue to update, etc. Is it possible to “reset” them so I can reuse them next school year?

Hi, I am also interested in whether there is an automatic update a blog, or want to put my school class blog?
