Create an account
Anyone needing to edit a blog has to create an account on CU Blogs. Doing so is as easy as just logging it. That's it!
Here are the precise steps:
- Go to <https://blogs.cornell.edu/wp-login.php>
- Click the blue button that says, "Use My ID" in the top box (just under the words, "Log in to my blog").
- This will take you to a NetID authentication page. On that page, enter your NetID and password and press, "Login".
That's it! Having done this will create an account with CU Blogs.
PI's: Create your research group's blog site.
- Choose a short name, for the URL. Most often this is the PI's last name.

Oliver,
I was looking through the list of sites that you sent and noticed that Collum Group is still just a shell of a site with no content -- http://blogs.cornell.edu/collum/ This site was setup for grad student Laura Tomasevich (LLT42) in 1/2013. I presume that this was one of the first of the Chemistry research group website/blogs. I just wanted to make you aware so that you didn't think that this one was a.) done, or b.) if you wanted to touch-base with the grad student or faculty members involved. If you would like Academic Technologies to follow-up afterwards, please let us know.

Aye Research Group
- http://aye.chem.cornell.edu/
- Tried migrating from off-site hosting:http://ayelab.org/ => http://yimonaye.moonfruit.com/
- 8/22/13: Decided not to move it since couldn't make it identical, easily.
- Current site is a Flash-based site, thus not viewable via iPads, etc.
