Preparing for the Levinsky Seminars

Hi everyone, It's more comfortable for me to post in English -- sorry if I am making things less comfortable for you. This is my first time using Blogger in years. I have been using EduBlogs with my students, but it was time to try this out again. The first time I tried Blogger, the interface was very limited and limiting for the user. I can see that Blogger has come a long way, however, and am looking forward to finding out about all of its new features.

The whole interface is much cleaner, and more intuitive.  I like that all the buttons are on top, and that I don't have to scroll down to save my posting.  I am trying out the connection with Google +.  So far, I have only connected my profile, but I know that I can more easily get readers if I make these posts visible on Google+ as well. I am still too much of a newbie to try that, so for now, this is personal. But if you are reading this, I guess I got over my initial fears :-)

Let's see how easy it is to post a picture:
