Posts We soft-launched Murdoch University Blogs yesterday. It is a “get a blog” system for university staff and students using WordPressMu . It integrates with campus authentication, so bloggers can use their uni login and password.
So far we have two academics who used the system for classes, several personal blogs about work, a campus IT blog, the library’s 23 Things blog, a postgraduate writing blog, an announcement blog for one of our schools and several other blogs in the trial stage.
I am off-campus now until 28 April. When I get back I’ll post here about the plugins and configuration we used and some of the decisions we made.
But for now- hooray – it’s finally there …
Nifty. I particularly liked the well thought through “Should your blog be part of Murdoch Blogs?” which will prevent a whole bunch of “I’m finished and want you to host my blog forever” issues which can crop up with uni based installs! Nice one.
