Create Your Wordpress Site

  1. Go to WordPress.com
  2. Select "Get Started"
  3. Follow the steps to Create a site.
    1. Choose a simple design
    2. Choose one of the nine free themes

    3. For Step 3 (find a domain) please use the following formula: your spu email name + wi18

      • For example, my SPU email name is: thansen3
      • In the "Enter a domain" box I will type: thansen3wi18
      • The first free option should be: thansen3wi18.wordpress.com
    4. Select the free plan
    5. Provide an email and create a password to finish setting up your site.
  4. Once you have finished creating your site, I suggest making your blog Hidden by going to Settings and, under Privacy, selecting Hidden (if you select Private you will need to approve access for me; this can be a hassle).  
  5. Please make a brief introductory post and share the link to Canvas below.
    1. You should share the URL provided under the Share tab in WordPress. If you copy-paste the address in the address bar, you are asking me to log in as you to edit the post in your dashboard, so please be sure to share the right link.
    2. Alternatively, you can select the link button and copy the URL provided there.

Be sure to Publish your post before sharing your link to Canvas.
