Well, our brief experiment with Edublogs didn't work. The final straw was having to reset the password, which took way too much time and effort. Add that to the GoogleReader problems (and apparently the same problems exist with Bloglines, another reader) and it is just too unpredictable. If you were to use for classroom blogging, the delay in receiving the feeds could be a big problem if students were expected to blog and you needed to read the posts in a timely manner. Which is too bad, because there are some nice features.
I have re-done my blog using Blogger. I think you will find Blogger very simple to use with many ways to customize the template and many gadgets (or, as others call them, widgets) to add to the sidebar. I haven't progressed much with that, but I will. I encourage you to take time to look through the gadget list (under Layout>Page Elements>Add Gadget). Just remember to Save any changes you want to keep.
