Blog Pilot is Launched! November 28, 2006
Posted by admin in : New Technologies , trackbackITS is happy to announce the pilot launch of http://blogs.umflint.edu. At this site, faculty and staff may log in with their uniqname and LAN password to create a blog. Blogs can then be shared both on campus and off. However, to leave a comment on a blog you may be required to have a campus email address. Blogs that are updated regularly will be listed for a brief time at the bottom of the blogs homepage, but to make sure your blog is always listed, just include it on your profile on the Homepage Gallery at http://homepage.umflint.edu
To get a blog started visit http://blogs.umflint.edu, login, and checkout the documentation from WordPress for tips on how to get your blog going (the “Posting in WordPress” and “WordPress for Beginners” sections are particularly helpful) . At this point only faculty and staff can create blogs, but ITS hopes to one day extend http://blogs.umflint.edu to allow students to create their own blogs as well.
The official launch of the pilot will be at the Technology Brown Bag session on Wednesday, November 29, in Michigan Room C at noon. Please join us to learn more about this valuable opportunity!
