Getting started with blogs.ed.ac.uk

Learn how to start creating your blogs.ed.ac.uk blog.

If you go to blogs.ed.ac.uk, locate the ‘Create your blog’ button. Selecting this will display a list of any other blogs you have already created (if any), and will provide a form to allow you to create a new blog.

Blog address – should be your chosen address for the blog – your blog address will start blogs.ed.ac.uk/ but you get to choose what happens after the /. Keep this short, memorable and without capital letters or any symbols other than a single dash. An example of this might be blogs.ed.ac.uk/online-assessment.

Blog title – this is the title which will appear in the blog banner once it is created.

Blog description – this is the sub-title which appears under the blog banner.

Blog category – choose the category that fits closest to the objective you have in mind for the blog.

Make sure you read the Terms of use and check the box underneath, once you have.

Blog template – leave as default just now (there is only one template currently available, this may change in the future).

Once you are ready, click on the "Create blog" button, and after a few seconds your blog will be created for you.
