This page is intended to serve several purposes:

  1. Serve as an inventory of all social media accounts, web pages, and related resources that need to be maintained.
  2. Outline the purpose for each resource, the intended audience, and suggested update cycle, etc. in order to better understand how each resource fits into the overall social media plan for sandbox.
  3. Identify the key person or people who maintain access to these resources
  4. Identify the individuals who currently have access to change these resources



Any questions about what should be on this page & how it is to be used?

The sandbox site is hosted using UMIACS Object Store (https://wiki.umiacs.umd.edu/umiacs/index.php/OBJ)

Editors will need a umiacs login and then need to be added to the sandbox group



MSI Site make.umd.edu


Here’s how to add/update your space after you have access:

Log in to the MSI website at https://makerspace.umd.edu/wp-admin using the UMD CAS button.

Click Makerspaces in the left menu.

Either click the name of your makerspace in the list or click the New Makerspace button at the top of the page.

Fill out or update the form fields as appropriate. Required fields are marked with a red asterisk.

Add or update the Featured image on the right side of the edit screen. Although WordPress will allow you to save without a featured image set, please make sure you add one as the listing will not look right without one. Try to keep the image size small (500-1000px width). It will crop automagically.

Hit Publish or Update.

Your makerspace is immediately live on the website!
