Wikis III: WYSIWYG and more

January 19th, 2006

Just two comments on wikis:

1. Last week I was introduced to wikispaces by Daf, and so I saw a wiki that accepts WYSIWYG code with my own eyes  Wakka Wakka. That encouraged me to try a wiki, and I’ve started two spaces: “tips and hints for my computer” and “what people say about me“… I’m still not sure of what to think of them, and have had trouble inserting tables, but it’s a start… 

I’ve decided to make them public and see what happens… Exploring seems the key to learning, particularly online!

2. The IT Guy at techlearning.com today recommends MediaWiki as “open source wiki software … for school districts to install and use”… I must look into this one day!

One final note: looking at the preview, I can see the second point on my list looks like a speech bubble with a grey background… It’d be lovely to have a clue about how  I did such a thing!    Tongue Out

    Oooooooooh! I was just about to ask you how you’d added the speech bubble! I’ll be waiting for you tutorial: 10 Tips for Speechbubbling on the Web.

    Funny indeed! One day I just realised the grey speech bubble had gone away… I never got any clue about how it had gotten there, or what I deleted to get rid of it… I think I’ll miss it! :P
