How to Find a Specific Blog on Bristol Blogs

Updated

Start on the Bristol Blogs homepage and look at the Featured blogs section, which lists the network's main blogs by author or theme. If the blog you want isn't shown there, select the All blogs link to see the full list of blogs in the network. Each blog then opens on its own page within the blogs.bristol.ac.uk domain.

What Bristol Blogs is

Bristol Blogs is the University of Bristol's blog network, hosted at blogs.bristol.ac.uk. It brings together multiple official blogs under one domain rather than scattering them across separate sites. The blogs are organised by author or theme, so the fastest route to a specific one is usually to identify who writes it or what it covers.

Step-by-step: finding a specific blog

  1. Open the homepage at blogs.bristol.ac.uk.
  2. Scan the Featured blogs section. This highlights the network's main blogs, for example:
    • Vice-Chancellor's blog
    • Executive Team blog
    • Research Culture Blog
    • Enterprise and Innovation Blog
  3. If your blog is listed, select it to go straight to that blog's own page.
  4. If it isn't listed, select "All blogs." This opens the full list of blogs in the network, which is where you'll find blogs that aren't featured on the homepage.
  5. Open the blog from the list. Each entry leads to that blog's page within the same domain.

Matching the blog to what you need

Because blogs are grouped by author or theme, it helps to know which category you're after:

If you want… Look for…
Updates from the Vice-Chancellor Vice-Chancellor's blog
Posts from the senior leadership team Executive Team blog
Discussion of research culture Research Culture Blog
Enterprise and innovation topics Enterprise and Innovation Blog
Anything not featured on the homepage The "All blogs" link

Common snags

  • The blog isn't in Featured blogs. This is expected — the featured section is a highlight, not the complete list. Use "All blogs" instead.
  • You're not sure of the blog's name. Work from the theme or author instead, then scan the "All blogs" list for the closest match.
  • You land on the wrong blog. Every blog has its own page under blogs.bristol.ac.uk, so check the blog title on the page you've opened before reading further.
