Hi again,

Does anyone at Yale do blogging?

I was thinking it might be something fun we could do with our webpage.

I am not sure if our PI would want to do this, so I thought I’d start by asking here.

It would be up to him bc he’d be running it.

Hi, June:

Many different sites use blogs for different purposes. To see some of these applications, search the yalesites.yale.edu for the term ‘blog’. This search will return a bunch of forum posts asking about how to use blogs, and difficulties they may have had. You might get some ideas from these posts. You can see how others in the YaleSites community made use of the blog module.

Also, here is the link for how to add a blog to your site, if you decide to: http://yalesites.yale.edu/book/blogs. Pay particular attention to this link from this page for deciding who can post to the blog etc. http://yalesites.yale.edu/book/managing-comments.

Good luck!
