As for the Virtual Staffroom, yes I'm still doing it... just put up two new episodes in the last week, and am editing two more to come soon. Recording a third new one tomorrow... stay tuned. Re the broken link, I made a slight modification to the feed... because the site runs on Wordpress, the launch URL of the site always pointed to the /wordpress directory on my server. This gave it the address of www.virtualstaffroom.net/wordpress ... I was never keen on this extra level of url but tI could never see a way around it other than to make an index.htm page at the root level on the server and give it an immediate redirect to the real start page in the wordpress folder. That's why the site used to say "Redirecting, hang on!" as it loaded. Fortunately, the new version of Wordpress includes an internal automatic way to manage this problem, and by editing a small script I can now have the page launch correctly just by going to www.virtualstaffroom.net, without the need for the Wordpress folder in the url. Try going direct to http://www.virtualstaffroom.net and let me know how you go. The downside is that it appears to have broken your feed link. I'm not sure what you use to subscribe, but you may like to try recreating the feed using http://www.virtualstaffroom.net/podcast/podcast.xml Hi Greg, yes Michael Wesch does some wonderful little videos… take a look at his others too.

On a different note, can I ask you if you are still doing The Virtual Classroom? I went to it today and my browser reported "This feed no longer exists".
