How can I update my staff profile page?

You should complete the steps explained in https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/staff/webpublishing/registrationandtraining/researchprofile/

Please note:

  • your work address and work telehone number is pulled from Core

How do I set up a webpage for my research project/group? 

There are two options available:

  1. If you would like a webpage in t4, like this research project, please email Christelle with the relevant information and images.
  2. If you would like a Wordpress site please submit an ivanti call (using the 'Research Computing Website Hosting' tile) to have one setup up and have it linked to the University website - a new domain name will be created.

Even if your project has an external website/blog/other, we want to include at least a paragraph and a link on the School website, so please email Christelle with details!

You may find guidance on creating web content from the Communications Office which has created a series of tools and guidance that can help you to:

  • understand how web users read online
  • streamline your pages so that users can find what they need
  • create copy that users will want to read
  • make sure that your pages are consistent with the University’s brand and tone of voice.

Setting up and maintaining a blog

How do I suggest a news story?

If you have a story to suggest for the School news page, please email the School Web Editor including the following details:

Must include

  • Headline
  • Summary - one or two sentences
  • Full story or event details - between one and five paragraphs
  • Relevant Subject area(s) - so the item can be posted on the Subject page(s) as well as the School page, if appropriate

Optional but recommended:

  • images
  • links
  • who to contact for info

If you wish to include a picture alongside the headline and summary (like here) then this must be 158x113 px (the School Web Editor can crop and resize images if needed). The School Web Editor will let you know when the item will go online. Please note it may take a few days to get your story online.

How can I promote my event?

The School events calendar is run through Google Calendar.

If you have a School-related event to promote then please email the School Web Editor including the following details:

  • Event title
  • Date, time and venue
