Having plenty of time to play as you do when you are on leave I took it into my head and via one of my comments to put a Clustrmap on this blog. I registered for Clustrmap as you do and spent and hour or so trying to find out where to put the html. No luck- nothing worked. What to do??? It was close to one in the morning and I don’t like going to bed before these sorts of things are sorted!!!!!
Why Twitter of course! I put out a general tweet for help. Miguel Guhlin leapt in to offer assistance. After asking a couple of pertinent questions he had helped me track down a tutorial in doing exactly what I needed and the job was done.
Graham Wegner also volunteered a hand but arrived a little later into the conversation.
It was a powerful example for me of collaborative learning with Web2.0 tools between Miguel in USA in the early hours of yesterday and myself in the early hours of his tomorrow!
In the admin area go to ‘presentation’, ‘widgets’ tab and drag a text widget into your side bar. Click on the icon in the box and paste the html. Save changes and hey presto.
Brings a whole new meaning to the phrase “tech support!”

That is such a good story about collaborative learning! Well done!
I know what it’s like to not be able to solve a problem… it certainly does eat at you and annoy you to the point where you can’t let yourself sleep!!
A perfect example of anywhere, anytime learning!!

PS – it is a very rare occasion that something techie gets you puzzled!!
Thanks guys. Look at all the dots on the Clustrmap already. Those map are a great motivator for me!
