The instance of blogs.pugetsound.edu has been moved to a new server and upgraded to the latest version of WordPress. Users can now access their blogs using their current Puget Sound login ID. Due to the nature of the upgrade from version 3.0.2 to 3.5.1, some themes used previously are not compatible with the new version. We will work closely with site administrators to ensure a smooth transition and select appropriate themes that will work. Please contact Giot at gconcepcion@pugetsound.edu or 253.879.3773 for assistance.
