Hey, Chris, my impression with the WP plug-in is that it only does the trick for WP's primary feeds, rss1 and rss2. I've got some special feeds running out of here (my lessons feed) that I didn't think it could handle. You know otherwise? Marco, Feedburner gives oodles of stats for your feeds whereas WP doesn't do much and for a stat junkie / raging narcissist like myself, that's worth dabbling in some scary terms like .htaccess. Jeff, your spring break wins.

What’s wrong with your present feed? What do you want to do that Feedburner will allow you to do? (I use WP but have no idea what htaccess is).

My spring break has ended without really even beginning (classes start for me April 9th). I toyed with the idea of writing a “planned” list vs “what-actually-happened” list, but it was just too embarrassing :-(

My break’s not til the week after this one, but here’s my list:

1. Make plane reservations from NYC to Edinburgh
2. Make sense of Scottish transportation network
3. Read. A lot.
4. Write. A lot.
5. Maybe a Mets game?
6. Get paperwork organized, once and for all.
7. Sleep.

Hey, forget the .htaccess thing.

Use Ordered List’s Feedburner replacement plugin…

As for Moodle, it’s not a big deal, I’ve been using it for about a year now. My only suggestion is you set up courses as Social, since it looks nicer that way.

Look me up on Skype if you run into trouble, just punch the email address in, grab it from the admin side.

Yeah, yeah, good suggestions from both sides. See this is why I keep this blog thingamaroo around.

“above”, not “about”, of course. Grrr. How do these things happen?

Here's a vote that you move item #10 further up on your list. Not about #1 or #4, of course. But you could at least interchange #7 and #10 without harm, no?

I’d say that #1 and #4 should be your highest, and quite possibly only, priorities (and definitely in that order). I doubt that Uncle Sam would be quite as fun to hang out super tight with. I had included your #8 on my own spring break list a month ago, and guess what Sunday night found me finally doing it?!!!
