Bryn Mawr Blogs and Comment Spam: Change to WordPress Settings

To reduce comment spam, LITS has updated all blogs on Bryn Mawr Blogs to require users to be registered and logged in in order to comment on a page or post.
If you are a blog administrator and your target audience contains a large amount of users that have non-BMC or non-TriCo emails, this setting can be changed to allow anonymous users to comment on your blog. Please understand that this will make your blog susceptible to comment spam and you may start to see a large influx of comment notifications in your email inbox.
To learn more about comment moderation and allowing anonymous users to comment on your blogs, please see our Bryn Mawr Blogs comment documentation in Ask Athena.
Please contact the Help Desk with any questions or concerns: help@brynmawr.edu or 610-526-7440

New Look and Feel for Blogs Homepage

LITS recently updated the Blogs at Bryn Mawr College home page. Community members will notice changes to the branding, look, and feel of the site. Functionality remains the same and Bryn Mawr, Haverford, and Swarthmore blogs users can continue to access their blogs and/or create new blogs just as before.

If you have any questions about this change or about the new look and feel of the site, please contact the Help Desk at 610-526-7440 or help@brynmawr.edu.
