SAIC Wired Sample Blog

Just an example; all SAIC WIRED students will start their own today!

  • ABOUT THE SAICWIRED TESTING BLOG

    This is a blog to test blog widgets and other layout features. Unless you host a blog yourself (i.e. purchase a domain name and hosting service) you cannot change the CSS, or stylesheets easily for these templates that Wordpress.com supplies to its users. Our class blog saicwired.org is an example of a blog that is privately hosted with its own domain name. It is hosted off campus at Anhosting, a local Chicago hosting company.

Hello SAICWIRED students!

Posted by saicwired on June 18, 2009

This text you are reading is an example of a sample blog entry that uses free WordPress software to format everything using a pre-existing stylesheet (viewable in the Dashboard under the Appearance link) and a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) interface.  If your instructor is logged in and hits the “Edit” link you will see that this very text can be viewed as formatted (click Visual tab in Editor) or via HTML (HTML tab in Editor).

Our course site for SAIC Wired is available at saicwired.org.
