How do I create a site?

Option 1: You create a site yourself

On the main TRUBOX site, this is where you will:

  • Step 1: Create a Trubox login account (or login if you already have one)
  • Step 2: Create a Trubox site

Further instructions are provided at the link above.

Option 2: We create a site for you

If an LT&I team member visits your class, we may ask that students fill out a form to capture the information above. Then, students will get a registration email sent to the email address they provided so they can set a password for their Trubox account. Once that is set, they can log in to their WordPress account and begin editing their site!
