Overview
Please be aware that URLs (the web address of your site) do not generally have an indefinite lifetime. The URL of your site is not likely to change frequently, and we always try our best to provide at least a semester’s notice of any URL change, but the URL could change any time.
If your web site or its posts might need a more durable web address solution, please contact Libraries Technology (LIDdesk@jmu.edu) for a consultation.
- For works of digital scholarship, JMU Libraries offers Scholarly Commons, a platform designed for long-term access to publications, however, it may not be suitable for all media types. Use our consultation request form to request more information.
How can I get this Service?
Generally, we recommend using the JMU Official Web for announcing news and events, for the widest dissemination of your content and integration with other JMU messaging.
- If you are interested in audience interaction, e.g. “Comments,” we recommend posting articles on JMU’s website or CampusPress, then using Facebook or other major third-party social media to post the articles for comment and interaction. Facebook and other major social media platforms spend millions to protect their users in ways we cannot match. Plus, the platforms offer much wider dissemination potential.
- We do not allow “anonymous comments” on public WordPress sites. Like any WordPress installation, CampusPress’s “Comments” feature may be a target for bad actors.
- On any platform, site owners are responsible for moderating comments and dealing with complaints about content.
