Set up a UW-Stout Branded Blog

A blog is a “web log” -- an informational site that delivers content on an ongoing basis. It could be a collaborative space, a collection of links, memos to the world or whatever you want it to be. New information is typically displayed in reverse chronological order, so your readers can always see the newest post at the top. They then can leave a comment, link to your posts or email you.

To set up your own blog, click on the link below, unzip it, and follow the instructions.
