30 days to a more accessible weblog [dive into mark]. I wasn't yet regularly using an aggregator when these pieces were first posted in June 2002, so this was new to me (question - does the blogosphere suffer from collective attention-deficit disorder?) I really like the presentation of these accessibility instructions into 30 bite size chunks, and also how he starts off describing 5 different people with accessibility issues and so frames the whole issue is a more immediately personal context. Well worth the read and good advice, which I will endeavor to follow in a blog re-design sometime in the future. - SWL [EdTechPost]

New interesting sounding aggregator - NewsMonster.

"Even sites that don't support RSS can work with NewsMonster... NewsMonster incorporates an advanced reputation system to prevent spam and discover and inform you of important news... Rate your favorite and least-favorite websites and share ratings with the online community - automatically! "

I haven't tried this so it is in no way an endorsement, but I started thinking more about reputation management and the blogosphere after reading the interview posted below (and after reading the blow by blow of that 'dialogue' between Messrs Wiley and Downes) and so this seemed particularly interesting. - SWL
