Welcome to Sites@UCI

With Sites@UCI you can quickly create a blog or a basic website using WordPress, one of the most popular blogging and content management systems.

We have recently rebranded Blogs@UCI to Sites@UCI to reflect the expanded use of the service. Both ‘blogs.uci.edu’ and ‘sites.uci.edu’ will work as website addresses.

Currently, only faculty, staff and graduate students can create sites. Undergraduate students who are collaborating with faculty or staff can participate by being given access by their faculty or staff sponsor.
