Log in to WordPress (for Smith Users)

  • Most WordPress sites are found at sites.smith.edu. If your blog address starts with “sites.smith.edu” follow the Log into Sophia instructions below.
  • Sites created before 2016 are located at www.sites.smith.edu/blogs. If your blog address starts with “sites.smith.edu/blog”, follow the Log into Blogs instructions below.
