Add University staff and postgraduate research students to your blog
To add a user to your blog, they first need to set up their own account on the Bristol Blogs network.
First, they need to:
- Read the terms and conditions for using Bristol Blogs
- Go to the blogs log in portal
- Click on ‘University of Bristol login’
- Log in with your username and password (this auto-creates an account).
After they’ve successfully registered, a blog Administrator can add them to the site:
- Go to your site dashboard, then Users > Add New User
- Under the Add Existing User heading, type the email or username of the person you want to add
- This can be their full email address, or their username email address, for example ab1234@bristol.ac.uk
- Choose the user’s role as you need to
- Confirm by clicking the Add Existing User button.
Go to Users > All Users and you can check that the new user is listed. You can change a user’s role at any time.
The new user can find the blog listed under My Sites when they have logged in.
Add students and users from other organisations to your blog
You can add undergraduate students, postgraduate taught students, and users from other organisations. This is useful for having guest contributors, or if you have a project site that represents multiple institutions.
