WordPress

WordPress is well known as a blogging system, but it's actually a lot more than just a blogging tool. WordPress is an open source publishing platform that has all the functionality you need to create and maintain an active, dynamic small to medium size website. Some of the key features include:

• The ability to have multiple users with various roles, from an administrator who can control everything to a contributor who needs to have their content reviewed before it's made public on the site.
• The ability to easily add various types of content including images, flash files, audio and video.
• The ability to "skin" a site with a large number of pre-existing themes.
• The ability to add in a wide array of plugins and widgets to add additional functionality to your website in a few clicks.
• The ability to change the code (if you wish) to make WordPress do exactly what you want it to.

If you are interested in setting up a WordPress website, you may collaborate with the EdTech Center through our popular Template Program (we have developed some Northeastern branded themes for you to choose from) or create one on your own by requesting a WordPress installation on one of the Northeastern web servers.
