It might also be worth including some probationary teacher blogs I posted a list of last years student bloggers<\/a> - they are probably worth keeping an eye on to see if any keep going through their probationary year. Some were more regular bloggers than others. If I had to guess who was most likely to keep blogging, I'd go for Lesley<\/a>, Duncan<\/a> and Andy<\/a>... but I think Stuart<\/a> has made the most recent post.","dateCreated":"1156451256","smartDate":"Aug 24, 2006","userCreated":{"username":"DavidDMuir","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/DavidDMuir","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1202793136\/DavidDMuir-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"54128","body":"Thanks for that, David.

\nThis is a nice thread.
\nI'd be careful of overwhelming newcomers to rss with a giant opml file.
\nI like the idea of different packs Ewan.
\nKeeping the whole thing up to date sound difficult, maybe an upgrade opml file and a complete one.
\nFWIW I collected a lot of the scots-edu-blogs from teachers, rather than children the opml file is:
\nhttp:\/\/johnjohnston.homedns.org\/lilina\/cache\/opml.xml<\/a>
\nBut it is out of date now. Some feeds removed 'cause they didn't play nicely with <a href="http:\/\/johnjohnston.homedns.org\/lilina<\/a>">lilina<\/a>.
\nBTW it is difficult to harvest the urls from a wiki such as this, unless you were smart enough to get the new feeds as they arrived (I was not). Hindsight gives me the idea that there should have been on page to list all the rss feeds.","dateCreated":"1156521256","smartDate":"Aug 25, 2006","userCreated":{"username":"johnjohnston","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/johnjohnston","imageUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/pic\/1216553417\/johnjohnston-lg.jpg"}},{"id":"54449","body":"oh I forgot, my favourite feed outside Scotland:

The only reasons I suggested The Goat as a possible venue for a social event on the TeachMeet wiki was because it said it offered free wi-fi and, more importantly, because it was close to the Ashoka West End ...which is where I wanted to eat. :-) I've written about a visit to The Goat today in my blog and I spoke to the duty manager to check out if they'd cope with a dozen or more bloggers invading. He thought that would be fine and said that if we wanted to order from the more extensive weekend menu it would probably be OK as long as we pre-order. There's a alcove bit up the stairs that he said they could set aside for us if we wanted. If there are going to be more than twenty people, they usually like a deposit of \u00a350. At the moment, there are twelve names signed up so that's not an issue just now.
\n
\nIt seems like a good place to go. A bit expensive perhaps (\u00a33.20 for soup - is that expensive? I don't eat out enough to know) but otherwise OK. People serving were good. Duty manager was helpful. Comfy seats. Good sized portions.
\n
\nI provisionally booked the alcove for the 20th from 7pm for about a dozen people. I said I'd phone in a few weeks time to confirm or cancel and if necessary to talk about menus and numbesr etc.
