"Links to the post point to the original post. Most of the sites I have created work this way, it reinforces the distributed nature of the connected course. What it means is that while a copy stays on the course site, typically on a view of blog posts, the excerpt (or first chink of content) is displayed on the course site, but clicking the post title or a "read more" link takes a reader out to the original site. Links to the post point to the copy on the aggregated course site. This means that it looks like all the syndicated blog posts were authored on the course site. Mostly people do this when they want a connected course site where the activity mostly stays there; a reason to do this might be if you want all of the comments on syndicated blogs to stay on the course site."

• JetPack Post By Email feature
• a section called “Spotlight”.
• (or site visitors) could indicated content they found noteworthy by favorting it- this is done with the WP-PostRatings Plugin,
• I created a custom page template to generate the 30 most favorited items. This was not hugely used either, with the top item getting 4 favorites.
• I customized the front page theme

• Plugins

   

  A rundown of the plugins used on the site:

• Feed WordPress Add Attribution
• boilerplate
• JetPack Post By Email feature
• his uses the JetPack Post By Email feature
• This enables anyone to post to the site by sending an email!
• You do not want to put this address on the public site, since anyone can post content!
• make the Quick Dispatch category the default category
• One thing to keep in mind is that all posts that come in this way get attributed to my WordPress account, since I authorized the JetPack plugin. I snuck around this by changing my display name to “The Future of Learning is Here”.
• found the solution at labnol, which has a google script that converts the API json feed to RSS which gives me a URL I can add to Feedwordpress.
• For every project that uses a twitter hash tag I use Twitter Archiving Google Spreadsheet TAGS v5 developed by Martin Hawksey. This not only creates an archive of all tweets, we get a summary of activity, a dashboard, a neat visualization, and a searchable archive.
