 For those requiring DAV access, create a sub-folder called "**dav**" in the "**.public_html**" folder and the content of that folder will be accessible with your CIM credentials.
 ===== Wordpress =====
 The CIM server has a fully-managed multi-site wordpress instance which allows us to create wordpress sites as required.  Wordpress sites are available for a variety of uses:

   * **Group use**: wordpress sites can be created for lab groups or for specific projects and multiple users can be granted access
   * **Special use**: If you need a site for an event or any special case
+If you are in need of a wordpress site, contact [[support@cim.mcgill.ca]] to discuss the possibilities
+==== Differences from a normal wordpress site ====
+Being a multi-site installation, there are a few differences between a normal wordpress site and a CIM-hosted site.  The most impactful one being the inability to install plugins on a per-site basis.  As the system is centrally managed and updated, plugin and template installation need to be done by CIM administrators.  If you need any specific plugin, let us know and we'll take care of the installation.
 ===== Dokuwiki System =====
+Similarly to the wordpress system, CIM also hosts wiki-style pages (ie, the site you are currently on).  If you or your group would like a wiki to manage information, contact us and we will be glad to set it up for you.
