Secure areas for blogs (intranets)

Posted on by Duncan Coutts

You should use a supported Microsoft Office 365 ‘intranet’ solution, such as Groups, if you want to create a secure area to share documents and media files to share with colleagues. The University’s Systems Support provides help and guidance on which Microsoft Office 365 solution to use.

If you have an intranet requirement for a multi-institutional blog, it is possible to add users from outside the University to an Office 365 Group.

If an Office 365 solution is not appropriate for what you are trying to achieve please email web-editor@bristol.ac.uk explaining why you need a secure area and we will discuss potential solutions with you.

Understanding the dashboard settings

Posted on by charlotte.spires

The Dashboard (wp-admin) is the first screen you see when you log into the administration area of your blog.

You can get to this dashboard by adding /wp-admin to the end of your site’s url (e.g.: example.blogs.bristol.ac.uk/wp-admin)

The main idea of the dashboard is to give you a place where you can get an at-a-glance overview of what’s happening with your blog.

The features available to you in the Dashboard will depend on your user role. View a summary of these differences in EduBlogs ‘User Role Overview’.

The Settings menu inside your blog dashboard is where you configure how your blog works.
