Moving an external blog into the Bristol Blogs network

Staff and postgraduate research students who have a blog on an external platform can move their blog into the Bristol Blogs network. To do this you will need to:

  1. Create a new blog on the Bristol Blogs network by following the instructions on the Bristol Blogs: Help for site maintainers.
  2. Follow the step by step instructions on how to import an external blog (instructions provided by CampusPress/Edublogs).

Any external blog that is imported into the Bristol Blogs network can only use themes and plugins already available on the network. For this reason it may not be possible to exactly replicate the appearance and functionality of the external blog.

We cannot provide support for this, so if it is more complex than you expect, you may prefer to set up a new blog manually.
