All blogs on macblog.mcmaster.ca have been updated to version 5.5.1.

Have a great weekend!

Good morning,

The blogs at macblog.mcmaster.ca have been updated to version 5.2.  Improvements have been made to the Block editor as well as Accessibility.

Please report any issues with your blog to libweb@mcmaster.ca.

Unfortunately, we encountered an unrecoverable error with one of our servers that hosted the blogs at macblog.mcmaster.ca.  We had to recreate the virtual machine and restore from a backup made a few months ago and are working to restoring as much content as possible. This may take some time.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Please forward any concerns to David Kemper at kemperd@mcmaster.ca.

Due to a planned maintenance, the macblog service will be unavailable Thursday August 15 from 2:30pm – 4:00pm.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

For those of you who prefer to use the classic editor instead of the Gutenberg editor which was introduced with the WordPress 5.0 release last December, you can now enable the “Classic Editor” plugin. Go to Plugins and click “Activate” to enable the Classic Editor.

PmWiki, used for the wikis hosted at https://macwiki.mcmaster.ca/, has been upgraded to version 2.2.111.  Please report any issues with your wiki to libweb@mcmaster.ca.

Have a great day.

The blogs hosted at https://macblog.mcmaster.ca have been upgraded to WordPress 5.0 this afternoon.

New to the editor is building using blocks. Have a look at this video for more information. The 2019 theme is now available.

Please report any issues with your blog to libweb@mcmaster.ca.
