How to Create a Blog

BU Blogs is open to all students, student organizations, faculty, researchers, staff, and departments for both business and personal use. It’s easy to create a new blog. Just follow the instructions below.

Individuals

To create a blog, log in to blogs.bu.edu/wp-login.php. A blog will be created automatically and immediately under your BU username. The direct address to your blog will be:

blogs.bu.edu/yourBUusername/

Departments

You have two options.

  1. If your department has a BU login name associated with it,  log in with that name. A blog will be created automatically and immediately under that login name. For example, the Dean of Students has a departmental account, “dos@bu.edu” — after logging in with that name, a blog would be created at blogs.bu.edu/dos/.
     
  2. If you want to create a blog under another URL, say one to match your website URL on www.bu.edu (e.g., www.bu.edu/admissions), you may be able to do that. IS&T must review, approve, and process these requests manually, so it will take 1 – 2 business days to complete. Just send your request to IS&T.
