21classes

I have just signed up for this service and am in the midst of creating a class blog as a portal for student blogs.

If anyone out there has already been using it, I'd love to see your sites for inspiration (stealing ideas).

Thanks.

Thanks Nancy. Much appreciated. I think on 21classes you can elect to not have the RSS feed.
