Today, I’m reviewing three plugins that Edublog offers.
Embed Any Document is easily one of my favourite plugins to use. This plugin simplifies the process of uploading and embedding a document of your choice, word docs, powerpoint presentations, you name it. You can upload documents from your laptop, from a URL, from Dropbox or Google Drive. For me, the plugin has almost never not worked, it’s very reliable. I love it, and it’s a must for any student at Riverside who often uploads to their Edublog.
The Tag Cloud also seems to be a favourite for a lot of my peers, as it wonderfully organizes your tags, categories, or both into a neat little cloud for you to rotate to your leisure. At least, that’s what it’s advertised it does. In reality, it simply lists your tags and categories. The more often you use said tags or categories, the bigger they are on the cloud/wall. Unfortunately, I could not get this plugin to work. Documentation for this plugin is also not available, as requesting it on the plugins page leads to a dead link. My view on this plugin; if you’re a function over form kind of guy or gal, why not have it on your blog?
