Your department thinks it may be a fun way to reach out to the campus with important information, there is only one person who has access to your official Web site and he has a backlog of requests, you want to be able to post photos and recollections of a recent event, your brainstorming team wants to get input from others on potential projects.

You need a B.L.O.G!

Wikipedia defines a Blog as:

A blog (short for web log) is a website where entries are made and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of most early blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), sketchblog, videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

The term "blog" is a portmanteau, or, in other words, a blend of the words web and log (Web log). "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

In May 2007, blog search engine Technorati was tracking more than 71 million blogs.[1]

 With an SBU Blog you can give multiple people from your department (or other departments) access in varying levels to compile blog entries to meet your needs.

SBU Blog Central (this blog) is currently showing the Technology template. Art, Campus, Science and Technology each have 7 rotating header graphics and blog images. To see all the images just reload these pages until you’ve cycled through all of them. Stony Brook uses the SBU color pallet and has a small image in the header. Single Image has one large header image and finally, Minimalist lets your content be the star of the show. You can see all the samples available by using the links at right under the "SBU Available Blog Templates" heading. 

Blog Administration

What can users do with their blog? You, the department head or project manager, need to specify what level of access you want each user to have.

 The Role each user can be assigned:

 
  • Editor: Someone who can publish/manage all posts/uploads/comments/categories/links
  • Author: Someone who can publish/manage their OWN posts/uploads, they can not approve other’s posts or any comments
  • Contributor: Someone who can write/manage their posts but CANNOT publish them or approve other’s posts or comments 

Comments

 While it is the ability to have audience comments that makes a blog a blog and not just an online journal, comments will need to be approved by an Editor. Comments need to be monitored to remove any SPAM the filters miss and to assure that submitted comments do not contain any inappropriate content.

Now that you’ve decided your department will benefit from a blog, what is your next step?

 Select a template that you like; if chosing a single image template, please select an image from the rotating groups. Go to our Request a Blog form. You will need to sign in with your Lotus Notes username and password. Fill out the form and submit it.

You will be notified within 3 business days with your blog information.
