I am a great aficionado of the Bbc podcast service. Therefore I was more than thrilled to find out that they've (finally) revamped their page.

(A Blogger helpline.)
Sorry... podxies is running on a classic template mode...
Hope I'll manage to sort that out soon :)

In the mean time I think this might be quite a blessing in disguise.
Not only because I feel relieved that my blog is back online (!!!) NOW...

Yes for the past 24 hours or so I have been sweating and crying because of one of those dreadful Blogger errors:

Awful... I know, especially if you bang your head a few times against your computer screen out of sheer desperation... because no matter what you do, you can not solve it!
A blessing in disguise because the ultimate successions of events has got me thinking about a great feature that I might expect Blogger to deliver... one of these days.

For total disclosure: this post will be submitted to the Blogger Buster competition!


Ok, this is the idea I'll give it straight to you:

A Blogger helpline!

Yessssss! Wouldn't it be simply wonderful to have someone to call anytime, I mean like 24ever, everytime that you are deep in it with Blogger?

There are lots of good resources out there about how to, well do almost everything with your blogger blog, but for the first time I found myself in a situation where I could access my blog dashboard alright, but if I wanted to actually view my blog, the afore mentioned error would pop out, with the obvious conclusion that it wasn't accessible to anybody else.

That really freaked me out, I would have totally picked up the phone and asked for help if such a service/feature existed.

Let's face it sometimes it is very reassuring to have something more human to relate to, instead of browsing like a madman.
Probably that would mean to shell out some money but it wouldn't be on a daily base, you'd just pay on the go.

I have no idea about feasability and any other economical entailments , it's just a thought, plus I really have to wrap this up ‘cause a moth has just committed suicide by throwing itself on my lamp and the smell’s horrible.

I never thought I would say it but I feel rather jelous of the internet generation...
According to Joanna Sugden from the Times Online come September and British pupils will be able to attend podcasting classes.
How cool is that?
Hope they will appreciate the fact that when I was their age I would have never dreamt of attending such mind blowing lessons.

The genius behind this fantastic idea is David Grailey chief executive of NCFE (formerly the National Council for Further Education, whatever that means but it ha to do with education). The article continues reporting Grailey very wise words:

“Podcasting is fast becoming a part of everyday life - vicars are delivering sermons via podcasts, police departments are launching ‘crimewatch’ video podcasts and schools and colleges are recording lessons via podcasts. It’s therefore vital that we offer people both an understanding and the skills to utilise this technology.”

I am so curious to see/hear the results of this compelling decision... I couldn't help thinking how cool would it be if established podcasters would teach too pupils...
Like Dawn Miceli could fly all the way to Britain and give some lessons (will she be able to refrain from swearing???)

In fact one of the questions that can not stop buzzing in my head is Who will be teaching? Surely not a math teacher. Will they look out for great podcasters out and about in Britain? What qualification do you have to have to be a podcaster?
I have to stop my head hurts...
