Comment on geographyalltheway.com Resources

I have been looking at the continually growing feedback from the geographyalltheway.com User questionnaire.

[There is still a couple of day left to fill in the questionnaire - have your say and be in with a chance of winning a geographyalltheway.com USB Drive!]

A couple of people have requested the ability to comment on the resources on geographyalltheway.com. I believe that a dialogue between users of the site, each other and myself is important.  It’s all part of being a networked teacher:

I used to have a feedback tab from Uservoice but found that this was conflicting with other things on the site causing slow load times etc.

So I am trailing the addition a of a blog style comment box at the bottom of each page.  The technology is provided by Disqus.  All the comments are moderated but this can be done easily and quickly.  There has already been a few comments but nothing constructive – more than likely a class of students in a computer suite who have ‘drifted’ from the task.

What do you think?  Comment here or on geographyalltheway.com.
