Blogs

Elon’s blog service, located at blogs.elon.edu, utilizes the WordPress platform to give Elon faculty, staff, and students an easy tool for online writing. Our blog service is intended for professors who want to integrate writing assignments into their curriculum or departments that want to utilize blogging’s informal writing tone for communicating announcements, how-tos, or other information that doesn’t necessarily fit on official webpages.

If you're experiencing trouble with a blog, select "Report an Issue" and complete the form.
