The websites are all hosted at\u00a0faculty.umaine.edu\u00a0and the site URL is the\u00a0faculty\u00a0member&#8217;s name. The advantage of the Faculty WordPress environment is it offers more flexibility in look and feel, has unlimited storage, and has reasonable limitations (no custom plugins, php code, etc allowed).\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:mike.kirby@maine.edu?subject=Interest%20in%20faculty%20website\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Faculty interested in this new service should contact Mike Kirby<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For web content that is not a good fit for maintaining in WordPress,\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:um.weboffice@maine.edu?subject=Web%20project%20needed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">please contact us<\/a>\u00a0and we will be happy to brainstorm other options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another academic year is upon us.
