FAQs

What is sites.gsu.edu?

• Sites.gsu.edu is powered by EduBlogs, an education-oriented WordPress blogging platform.  This provides ALL active GSU students, faculty, and staff a way to build and host a WordPress website.

Are there ID requirements?

• YES.  Georgia State University students, faculty and staff must bring a valid Panther ID card to the workshop.  Driver’s license or any other form of ID can NOT be accepted.  Not with Georgia State?  See “I don’t have a Panther ID card” below.

I don't have a PantherID.  I'm not a student or university employee!

• This workshop is for current students, faculty, and staff of Georgia State University only.
• For any GSU individuals who arrive without your Panther ID, please note we can't guarantee you'll be admitted.  A Panther ID is required for use of most GSU campus facilities.

Computers Provided

• For computer application and programing workshops a training computer will be provided for the workshop.
  

Where do I park?

• Parking information for GSU's Atlanta and Perimeter campuses is at https://parking.gsu.edu/. You'll find info on Student, Faculty, and Staff parking. For a specific Perimeter campus, select "Perimeter College" from the menu at the top of the page.
  

I’m running late. Can I still attend?

• It can take a few minutes to log in and get set-up to follow along in the workshop, so we ask folks to arrive early.  However, to limit disruption we limit admission to 15 minutes after published start time.  Too late?  That happens – check back at http://technology.gsu.edu/panthertech for the next workshop.
  

I’d like to bring someone with me.  Is that OK?

• Yes! The more the merrier.  They’ll need to bring their Panther ID card with them.  If they aren’t from GSU and unfortunately they can't participate in the workshop.

I have other questions.
