Now I need to understand how/why that all works to make better use of the info and be able to set up a similar thing myself. My Global Perspectives class has a wiki and I'd like to be able to have them start blogs that somehow get tracked on the wiki. Thanks for letting me know that.

The tracking question relates to comments on other people's blogs. By using comment tracking tools like cocoment you know if someone responds to your comment and you can choose to respond back. Now I've read quite a few reflections on this activity but two aspects you have pointed out others haven't mentioned. That is an excellent idea to use Gina's or a modified version with students so that they are taught how to comment properly. Also the only person to point out that you couldn't add your own comments -- which I would have liked as I didn't agree with every point.
