Boston University Blogs

BuddyPress, a suite of plugins that adds social-networking features to WordPress, has been integrated into BU Blogs. With BuddyPress, you can:

1. Invite other BU bloggers to be your friend.
2. Exchange messages with your friends.
3. View the posting activity of your friends.
4. Create public, private, or hidden groups.
5. View friend requests and pending invitations to join groups.

In BU Blogs, you will see a gray BuddyPress bar at the top of your blog pages. Once you’ve logged into Blogs, you can get access to the new BuddyPress tools in the My Account tab.
