Web Publishing

Web Publishing Options

WordPress (wp.towson.edu and wpstudent.towson.edu)

WordPress is the preferred solution for most individual websites. It is a browser-based solution that requires no knowledge of HTML, and the professional-looking templates available are user friendly. While themes and plug-ins will be pre-defined, they are easy to customize.

WordPress sites are available for students, faculty, staff, and organizations and can be created or accessed through each group's login page.

Refer to the WordPress webpage for training resources. 

Basic Web Publishing: TIGERWEB.TOWSON.EDU

TigerWeb is a simple HTML-based site that allows use of any web publishing applications and is primarily for personal use. However, faculty can also recommend this for class projects.

TigerWeb is available for students, faculty and staff and can be requested by logging into TigerWeb.
