New Blog Address Domains

Great news, we’ve just added academyblogger.co.uk and secondaryblogger.co.uk to the options that are available when signing up for a new blog. This means academies and secondaries can have a blog address that reflects their status.

In fact we haven’t removed anything, we’ve just added more to the PB Pro accounts. We’ve started the PB Pro accounts to help us cover our costs in running the service, we’re growing quite rapidly and our network that runs PB requires us to maintain it.

Next, create a new text widget in Apperance -> Widgets in the wp-admin area. Give it a title, something like “Translation”, but you can call it whatever you like. Then paste in the code given from the Google Translation service. Here is an example of the code you can use…..
