… but it’s a lovely blaze. In fact, it’s UMW Instructional Technology Specialist Andy Rush’s new Media Blog.

The possibilities here are wonderful to contemplate. The Flash AS front end embeds a “player” on the blog site itself, while the audio feeds are available for podcast. (Andy’s still working on doing the same for the video files–the technical explanations are on the blog.) The experience changes subtly with the controllers embedded this way. And with the combination of Flash and RSS, one has the best of both worlds: good functionality on the site, and an easy subscription service off the site.

Roll credits, cue applause.

Andy, take a bow!
