What is WordPress?
WordPress is web-based content management software used to create blogs and websites without having to know HTML, CSS or other code. The McDaniel College Community site is a WordPress site hosted on campus. Websites and blogs created on the college hosted site will have blog.mcdaniel.edu as part of their URL.
Use a McDaniel WordPress site to:
- Create class blogs and websites.
- Share department news with current and prospective students.
- Highlight club activities and special events.
- Create student blogs.
- Create portfolios of your work.
- Express yourself!
