Hello
Please can you tell me if there is a way to edit the name used to set up a Glow blog eportfolio? Due to a typo, the Glow Username and email address now differ from the name on the ePortfolio.
Many thanks

HI,
I am trying to add a ‘Google Translate’ to the side of my school’s blog page.
Can you tell me how to do it.
Thanks
Steph
Hi Steph,
You need to activate the Google Language Translator plugin, you can then add the widget to your blogs sidebar.
