Personal Websites
UNC-Chapel Hill offers the ability for students, staff, and faculty to create and host their own personalized websites at http://tarheels.live.
This is a self-service web publishing platform that allows anyone with a main campus Onyen account to create a website at no cost. WordPress is the platform that main campus has selected, it allows sites to be created quickly, has advanced content management, and allows for customization of the look and feel.
Wordpress is best for publicly accessible webpages.
If you are a faculty member who needs to share a lot of documents with your students, your Canvas course website is best location for that.
Need more assistance with editing a Wordpress site? Tutorials are available at Wordpress.org. The Undergraduate Library also has guidance for editing a TarHeels.live website.
