CIT's Academic Technologies Centers (ATC)

• http://www.it.cornell.edu/services/atc/faq.cfm
• atc_support@cornell.edu

All of ATC's direct services are free; they don't have a charging mechanism.

The ATC can help you use, often for free, many CIT services, as well as some non-Cornell services if they'll better meet your needs.

• CIT's Integrated Web Services (IWS)* http://www.it.cornell.edu/about/atsus/iws/services.cfm

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.

Cut-over steps

1. Confirm your group's new web site on CU Blogs is ready for production.

2. Send a request to <atc_support@cornell.edu> with your CU Blog address and your domain name (where your old web site is). Something like,

• Please direct <http://groupname.chem.cornell.edu/> to <http://blogs.cornell.edu/groupname/>.

3. Confirm cut-over worked.

4. Request a copy of your old site from ChemIT, if it was hosted at CIT's static web site (as most were).

  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/&nbsp; 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.
