  1. Hi,
    I am taking on blogging as part of a whole school working group/ committee. I was wondering how I can set myself up as an administrator for this site?
    Thank you,
    Jenny Stewart

    1. Hi Jenny,
      Presuming you have a glow account:
      You will be the Admin of any blog you create.
      If the blog is preexisting the current Admin can make you an Admin too:

      If your school has a blog where it has lost the admin account, you need to raise a cal lwith RM through your Local Authority contact.

  2. I am also having problems with users not being able to access each other accounts which they could do before the switch over. A number of users are showing PENDING and I am not sure what to do now.
