For Schools and Departments

Down Shot of Students Walking

You can now fulfill your need for a blog or wiki that exists outside of the Terminalfour content management system. Fordham University has procured cloud-based servers for you to host your blog or wiki. Through this platform, you can create and maintain a blog or wiki for your department or school.

The process to request this type of hosting:

  1. Discuss your intention and commitment with the Senior Director of Online Communications.
  2. Then you must choose a subdomain name for your site
    A subdomain is the URL that users will go to when they type your URL in a browser.
    This must be in the form of .blog.fordham.edu or .wiki.fordham.edu
    For example, in the subdomain https://mysite.blog.fordham.edu, the subdomain name is "mysite".
    The chosen subdomain must conform to the established policy for subdomain.
  3. Follow instructions on how to fill out and submit a Blog Request Form
    • Login to My-Pages
    • Under My Pages, select "Tech Help"
    • The Service Portal will pop up in a separate browser tab*
    • Click on 'Service Catalog'
    • Search for Service Request Other
    • In the details field, request a new Blog/Wiki
    • Enter any additional details, and click 'Order Now'

    • The Web Committee will review and approve your subdomain name.

  4. The Web Committee will inform you that your subdomain name has been approved. Please allow 1 - 2 weeks for your blog to be created. You will then receive an email from WordPress, be sure to keep an eye on your inbox and your spam folder.

    Each division is responsible for designing their WordPress blog. View samples of blogs: IT, Theatre, Communication and Media Studies
