Archiving Your ds106 Blog

It’s the end of the semester. You have put a lot of content, time, sweat into the blog you set up for the course. But will you keep it forever? Should you stop paying for your web hosting, will the links to your assignments from the ds106 site be ever broken? What if you later decided to move your site elsewhere? The information below, written mostly fo ds106 students at the University of Mary Washington, will help you take care of having an archive of your work stored locally on your computer and on UMW Blogs. All students are required to at least make a backup for their site on UMW Blogs.

In addition, we have a new (free!) web hosting option for UMW students, that we are piloting for future student use. Using the instructions below, you will be able to move your content from your current paid for hosting (e.g. Castiron Coding) to this new location.
