The University of Massachusetts Amherst's Office of InformationTechnologies hopped on the blogging band wagon February 20, 2007 and introduced "Blogs at UMass Amherst-Beta."According to their news archives, "OIT is pleased to announce our new blogging service – Blogs at UMass Amherst. All UMass Amherst faculty, students, and staff can create their very own UMass Amherst blog. Just go to http://blogs.umass.edu/, log in using your NetID and UMail password, and start blogging."
Those planning on acquiring a UMass blog need to be aware of the Acceptable Use Policy that must be followed at all times when posting.
The policy includes some of the following guidelines: The University expects all members of the community to use computing and information technology resources in a responsible manner, respecting the public trust through which these resources have been provided, the rights and privacy of others, the integrity of facilities and controls, state and Federal laws, and University policies and standards.
Take caution when blogging or posting. You never know who is reading!
