Blogs.ed.ac.uk service
A University-hosted and supported WordPress platform with all the features most bloggers will need.
What is blogs.ed.ac.uk?
This WordPress based platform offers pre-defined plug-ins and themes set to address most basic blogging needs. It is centrally managed by the University whilst still offering some space for digital skills development and external access. While you would access blogs.ed through EASE, you have the possibility to make the platform public and share it via social media.
Blogs.ed.ac.uk is the perfect option for you if you wish to explore academic blogging without requiring a specific development which is not available in our pre-defined package. If you require advanced customisation or a structured assessment workflow you might want to consider another service. Consult our comparative matrix for more information.
