Moving blog to Google Blogger and Website to Google Sites
In an effort to save costs and lack of donations, I'm moving the PLS blog to Google Blogger and the PLS website to Google Sites. Although the new site is in development ( yet again!) I am hopeful that this will be the last site move for the next few years since Google doesn't charge until you get past the file storage limit and even then it is quite low compared to normal hosting costs.
Some of the features I had implemented will be disabled until I find a work-around for them. I'll be recreating quizzes and activities as the Google Sites and Blogger systems allow (most likely though some kind of javascript or google Apps implementation)
