Living Blogging http://www.ucl.ac.uk/ls/rioja/ see http://is.gd/N8T or , in fact, see below…

Update (8 July 2008):

This is my first attempt at using coveritlive.com (as used very sucessfully many times by Andy Powell at Eduserv). On the whole thought it was sucessful, and the software was great.

Few points: The software doesn’t seem to allow you to edit entries, I guess this keeps with the spirit of liveblogging but can be a pain when you notice a mistake just after sending a message. In fact trying to take notes and listen to what is being said lead to quite a few typos etc, the small font on the screen – further away on my lap than it would be on a desk – didn’t help. Secondly, difficult to let people know you are doing this (the other extreme would be to bombared mailing lists announcing your intentions), so some who may have had an interest in keeping an eye on the days event would not have been aware of this.
