Free ESL Blogs.com
Anne just informed us of Free ESL Blogs.com, where ESL students and teachers can sign up for free blogs. They also offer an RSS feed for ELT headlines.
It’s great to see someone offering this service; yet another addition to the growing community of ESL/EFL bloggers. After poking around the site a bit, though, I got the feeling I was in a very centralized space, as all the so-called blogs share the same template, header, permalinks, and color scheme. Without the capacity to personalize and create one’s own list of links, can we really call them blogs? The environment might be more appropriately described as a collection of personal journals sharing a common main theme. Nevertheless, it will be interesting to watch how this site evolves.
