[Sociam-soton] Re: FW: Re: blogging for SOCIAM (newbie question)

[Lance Draper]

Sociam.org was registered by the ODI and appears to be a Virtual Machine hosted in the cloud by linode.
Without a login account for the VM I am unable to see how the site is setup or if backups are being taken.

I  can follow this up but I need to know the best person to contact...

blogs.ecs.soton.ac.uk/sociam is hosted on the iSolutions WordPress server and will be backed up.

Lance









  bogs.ecs.soton.ac.uk/sociam is running on the iSolutions Wordpress server.

Hope that answers Max's question.

Lance

Laura, if this is a VM then you can ask Lance to set it up on the backup system.

Although, unless someone is willing to check for updates very regularly, it will get pwned like then other server did - so using the iSolutions Wordpress server would fix that aspect too - please liaise with Lance for recommendation on that - we should be able to do an import/export of existing blogs and theme easily.
