Final Technical Considerations
The last word on technical issues is that I went ahead and created two student accounts for this edublog. I named the users as exco1 and exco2. When I created the users as students, I used the gmail+ hack to have all information forwarded to me. The users were immediately assigned passwords and a blog site. For exco1, the site is http://exco1.edublogs.org/. The student can login and work on their own blog site once I assign the password information. Managing the content on the sites might prove to be a challenge, but it could be monitored by subscribing to the RSS feeds for each student site.
In order to have exco1 contribute and collaborate on this blog, http://thefamousdredtech.edublogs.org , permissions were modified to allow exco1 to become a contributer. This allows the student to add posts and modify their profile, but not change any other properties on the blog. The only real concern is that exco1 can now go back and modify his email address which will take away some control from the teacher.
