I am really excited about creating a wiki for the very first time. I think this is a very helpful and valuable tool. Unfortunately, I found the editing tools to not be too cooperative. I had a difficult time formatting and repeatedly found myself loosing text I just altered and didn't have an undo button to go back one step. I also found it not so helpful that there is no spell check available. I am very excited about using this tool and hope that with practice I can work out all the kinks.
I think a wiki differs from a blog in that a blog simply allows one person to post information and is therefor one directional. A wiki on the other hand, allows multiple users to post and edit information and is therefor multi directional. A wiki is more appropriate when, just as I stated above, multiple people need to create and update content. A blog would be appropriate to use to simply list information, links and resources.
The wiki I created will hopefully be the beginning wiki for an upcoming cooperative Media Specialists project. It is called GPLibraryMediaWiki and much more work needs to go into it. I look forward to finishing the design of the wiki and updating our content.
I would like clarification as to how to alter my wiki design. I was able to click the link to change the theme and colors, but when I wanted to change them again, I couldn't get back to the screen to do so. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
