Getting started with a WordPress site at Lafayette
WordPress MU (Multi-User) is a Web editing platform used at Lafayette to make the creation and managment of Web sites a relatively simple task. Every department, office, organization, and individual is eligible to create a WordPress site. For more on site types, see the Web Site Accounts policy.
