One-Step Blogging

The University of Minnesota is allowing students to create their own Movable Type blog with just one step. Just give your blog a name and a tag line, hit submit, and your MT blog is all set to go.

This is pretty nifty. I don't need a UofM hosted blog, but I set one up just to see how it works, and it's pretty neat. They have everything setup with MT, so it is totally painless and a total moron could figure it out. Granted, they are a little tacky looking.

If you're a Dartmouth student, you can do the same thing at DartBlogs.

I wish my school had this sort of vision.

Great idea -- sure to catch on at other schools.

Do universities really need to encourage this? "And in other news, the University Southern North Dakota at Hoople is giving all students lovely leather bound personal diaries..."
