What is a blog?
A blog is an online forum where individuals or groups can maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog features diary-type commentary and links to articles on other websites, usually presented as a list of entries in reverse chronological order. Blogs range from the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole range of subjects.
Miami University recommends using WordPress for blogging. WordPress is an open source, web-based system that can be accessed from anywhere. Blogs will only be approved for University related requests. Blog requests of a personal nature or unrelated to the University will be directed to WordPress.com.
Deleting Wordpress Blogs
UCM will review, annually during Summer or Winter, blogs that have not been used for the past 12 months. We will then contact the blog owner to determine if each blog is still needed. If the owner says no or if we are unable to contact the owner within 60 days time, UCM will then remove the unused blogs.
