Wordpress

Most people know WordPress for its blogging capabilities, and while personal publishing remains at its core, WordPress has expanded far beyond those humble beginnings. The same software we use on this site now runs over 43% of all websites in the world, for a 65% market share among websites that use a content management system. To see the wide array of sites WordPress has been used to create, feel free to browse the WordPress Showcase.

Usage of our campus installation of WordPress, called UR Blogs, typically falls into one of five categories: course discussion; course projects and exhibits; department and research lab sites; student organizations; and personal portfolios. Use the tabs to the left to explore these different categories, browse the site gallery for examples of sites created on UR Blogs, or request a site if you’re ready to get started.
