Blog Details

Blog.nus will suggest a Site Name. This becomes part of the URL or web address of the blog.

We recommend that you choose your own site name. Try not to use your NUSNET NUS-ID, especially if you are a student.

Info
  • The Site Name cannot be changed after the blog is created. If you want a different URL, you will have to create another blog.

  • The site name must be at least four characters, letters and numbers only.

  • If the blog is for a course, you may use a course code so that you get, e.g. blog.nus.edu.sg/abc123

  • If you know you will be using different blogs for the same course each semester, you may want to add the year or semester, e.g.

    • blog.nus.edu.sg/abc1232016

    • blog.nus.edu.sg/marketingintro2016

Input the Site Title. This is the display name or what will appear as the title of the blog. This can be changed after the blog is created.
