Creating a Math Department wordpress blog
To get a new blog you must have a Department of Mathematics account. If you have an account you can go to the create account page and enter your desired blog name (the one for this blog is webeditor) and your @math.purdue.edu address.
WordPress will then send a temporary password to your @math.purdue.edu account along with a link for loging in. Log into WordPress then go to “My Profile” (on the upper right hand of the page) and change your password to something you will remember.
WordPress works best with the latest version of Firefox or Internet Explorer 6 and 7.

More than just for talking about your dog
This “blog” has been created using WordPress software. The technology that allows internet denizens to write about their dogs, can also be used to deliver content to your website visitors in a dynamic fashion.
Content producers type each “blog post” in a word-processor-like interface that makes creating web content as easy as typing a document. There is even a spellchecker! Categories can be created and selected to guide — with the help of your webmaster — the new content to the appropriate part of your website.
The WordPress comment feature, handy while blogging, can be turned off using this same interface for users who are just interested in content management.
