Eligibility

A mgm casino WordPress site may be available to faculty, staff or students whose role is to create and publish official university Web pages. Student requests for sites require a Faculty or Staff sponsor. Student clubs should use instead.

WordPress sites are not to be used for personal blogs or homepages. Site names should be descriptive of the purpose of the site. We will not fulfill requests for site names that only contain a person’s name.

Make a Blog or a Website

WordPress is a full-fledged blogging platform that can create all the things you expect from a blog: organized blog posts, comments, category archives and more. But you can also use WordPress to create "static" Web pages with images, embedded videos, and varying sizes of text without using the blogging functionality at all.

The WordPress interface allows you to develop Web pages with the power of your mouse pointer.

How It Works

  1. . Your initial site will be created on the mgm casino WordPress development server, and is only accessible on-campus or off-campus when connected to mgm casinoVPN.
  2. Create and customize your mgm casino WordPress page.
  3. Once your content is all set, let us know you are ready to move it to the mgm casino WordPress production server by using the  form. mgm casinoIT staff will then create your production site and give you access information.
  4. Log into your development site and 
  5. Log into your new production site and 
  6. Activate your site’s theme, plugins, and widgets.
  7. You may need to additionally export and import files in your Media Library from the development server to the production server. There are built-in tools available for this step.
