Planning a new blog site
Creating a successful blog that users will enjoy and return to takes planning and ongoing commitment.
Customise the default theme
Themes control the design of your site, including the colour scheme, font, and layout.
Change a domain name
There are three ways you can customise the web address for your site.
Moving an external blog into the Bristol Blogs network
It’s possible to import externally published blog content into your Bristol Blog site.
Add guest authors and co-authors
If you have guest authors who contribute on an ad-hoc basis, you can use the Co-Authors Plus Plugin to create posts on their behalf.
Request a different theme
All blog sites use the University of Bristol (UoB) theme by default. This means a consistent look and feel across the platform, that aligns with the University’s branding.
Writing for the web
Writing for a digital audience requires a different approach than writing for print. The University’s style guide provides a comprehensive introduction to writing for the web and links to other useful guidance.
Categories and tags
Organise your posts and pages by labelling them with custom categories and tags. This is beneficial for search engine optimization (SEO) and content discoverability.
