[Server-devel] Testing EduBlog

[Pablo Flores]

The other point I'm not understanding well is: How does the student or the
teacher choose in which blog she will post when going to the "New blog post"
link? (
http://edublog.venango.org/test/EduBlog/moodle/mod/oublog/editpost.php?blog=4
)

Saludos,
Pablo Flores
