Final testing is now under way on software which will bring back the popular eduBuzz home page “Activity Stream” display of latest posts and comments from around East Lothian schools. We hope to bring it back within a week.

We were using BuddyPress software to make that happen, but advice from our new hosts was that it was overkill for our needs, as few people were using its other components. Our home page activity stream has always been a popular way of keeping in touch with what’s happening around East Lothian, so a developing a separate WordPress software “Plug-in” for our needs was proposed. That software is now in final testing.
