Blogs in People Search
Writing about web page http://search.warwick.ac.uk/people
As some of you may have noticed, we are currently trialling a new People Search application as part of the Warwick website search at http://search.warwick.ac.uk/people - these results also appear on general searches on the Warwick website.
As part of the results for this, we display the user's Warwick Blog or e-Portfolio if they have one, and so if you have a Warwick Blog (or an e-portfolio), you'll find that your blog appears in search results, which may or may not be something you'd like to happen. For example, a search for Mat Mannion reveals a Warwick Blog:
If you don't want your blog to appear in search results, you can turn off "Show in blog directory" from your blog's Settings page. Click here for more detailed instructions - it may take up to a week for the directory to update and for your blog to be removed from results.
If the wrong blog appears for your name, you can leave a comment on this entry or email us at blogs@warwick.ac.uk - this usually happens because the wrong blog is marked as your "personal" blog; we can change which blog is marked as your personal blog for you.

Is there a facility for people to have an arbitrary University webpage listed as their home page? E.g. http://www.warwick.ac.uk/%7Eusername or the equivalent http://www.warwick.ac.uk/status/email.mail.address or a departmental webpage such as those linked from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/people/staff/

That %7E was a tilde when I typed it. tilde as in ~ or what’s above the # on a typical UK layout keyboard. It looks right in the preview for this comment, what happens when I submit it…

At the moment it’s not possible to have an arbitrary webpage listed, but we plan to incorporate the ability to modify/fix your own data at some point in the future.

Mat
Could you change mine so that it points to http://blogs.warwick.ac.uk/rbotoole please.
Thanks

I’ve made the change. It may take a few days for it to propagate through the system. (As an aside, this was caused by your primary usercode being marked in the membership database as a different usercode to the one that owns your blog)

I am aiming to achieve better organisation and planning skills and focus on how to deal with disruptive behaviour in my lessons
