What is the Blog URL?

The blog URL you share with your friends and colleagues is different from the one used to create your blog (http://blogs.psu.edu).

The URL of your published blog is structured as follows:

http://www.personal.psu.edu/<your Userid>/blogs/<URL Name>

For instance, if user xyz123 had a blog with the URL name “worknotes”, the URL would be

http://www.personal.psu.edu/xyz123/blogs/worknotes

The following instructions tell how to find your published blog URL from within http://blogs.psu.edu.

To find your blog URL

1. Log on to http://blogs.psu.edu and enter your blog.
2. Click the View Site (circle arrow) button in the top links.
   
3. The public view of your site will open in a new tab or window.
