(Word)Pressing Issues in the Humanities

Announcing....Wordpress!!!

Wordpress is an open source blogging application that the talented and amazing Gowtham has installed on one of our servers.

Gowtham gave a presentation at TWIT about the benefits of using Wordpress....here are just a few:

• Wordpress has a built in search engine


• Wordpress allows you to pre and post-date your blog entries. (Note: I wish this blogger thing I am using had that feature; then you would not know that I am writing this two weeks after G's presentation and I could make myself look so much more diligent!)


• Wordpress allows you to import different blog entries from different platforms. Thus, you will soon see this blogger blog become wordpressed...

If you would like to set up a Wordpress blog for yourself just send an email to Jim Oliver and he'll set up an account for you.

Wordpress is downloaded 150,000 times daily, so you will be in good company.
