TU Delft Weblog
How to add a Twitter feed to your blog
On this main weblog I have added two twitter feeds as an example. It is very easy to add a twitter feed yourself, without using any plugin.
- go to twitter and create a widget via Settings – Widgets
- choose the settings of your widget here
- copy the html code of the created widget
- go to wordpress and add a Text widget
- choose a titel
- place the html code from the twitter widget
- the twitterfeed is added to your weblog
It is as simple as that!
WordPress Manual
WordPress is very user friendly. If you need any assistance, there are many manuals available on the internet. Check out: codex.wordpress.org
How to get to the admin Dashboard
When you are visiting your site and you cannot return to your dashboard: type /wp-admin behind your site name and you return to your dashboard. In your dashboard you can choose to make the metadata widget visible on your site. This widget contains links to log in and to return to the site admin panel (dashboard).

Weblog migration this Thursday September 20th
There are no more obstacles to prevent us from migrating this weblog to WordPress. The migration will take place this week on Thursday September 20th. In the morning at 9 o’ clock we will freeze all weblog content. This means the weblogs can be read, but it will not be possible to add any content. In the morning we will start migrating the weblogs behind the scenes. The last preparations will take place during the ICT Maintenance Period (starts at six o’ clock). Around seven o’ clock we will do a last check and if all goes well we will be online again around eight.
As stated before. Alle content of the current weblogs will be migrated, styling however, will not be migrated. All weblogs will be placed in the same TU Delft Weblog theme. After the migration you can choose a new theme and personalize it to your wishes.
All weblog users will receive an e-mail with this information. We will also keep you informed via this blog. We will give you advise on settings and where you can find what.
In short:
Thursday September 20th
9.00: Content Freeze – weblog available as Read only
9.00-19.00 Work behind the scenes
Around 20.00 Weblog online in new WordPress environment
