Creating your blog & setting up

Anyone using the University blog network should log in using their university account, as soon as possible at:

http://my.blogs.lincoln.ac.uk

Your login is the same as your student number & password for blackboard and email; this activates your User Account and from here you can create multiple sites. Once logged in – go to Create a Site at the top of the page where you will need to fill the following form:

You CANNOT change your Site Domain once created and you will need to contact the Blogs System Administrator to delete site. Please ensure that all details are correct and that you have set your Privacy to Public so we can assess your blog.

 

Create a Site

 

After creating your site, please set your theme to Chunk either by going to your top bar and hovering the mouse over your Blog’s title to reveal a drop down menu or go to the sidebar in your dashboard selecting Appearance > Themes. It is important to set your blog to this theme in order to standardise all blogs so that we can assess!
