Wiki

The PBWiki & Wetpaint are very similar to a seedwiki I had contributed to for a course I had taken at Mohawk College. We used the seedwiki to add resources and ideas throughout the course. I think this is a great way to share resources!

The page I added to the PBWiki
  • B.A.'s
    Waiting to Read


  • and to Wetpaint

  • Library listservs


  • I did enjoy using the Smiley's and font colors available on the PBWiki. I think they catch your eye and draw your attention. This feature is not available on Wetpaint. Both sites allowed you to change the size of the font - which I did.

    I liked the Page Information and Wiki Information on the bottom of the home page for the PBWiki and the Latest Page Update at the bottom of the Wetpaint site.

    Alex I was not able to figure out how to tag on the PBWiki site? Could you help me out with this? As well, I wanted to add a Smiley to this post using the keyboard. I have tried a number of things in case anyone viewed my post in process like: \def\smiley{\hbox{$\large\bigcirc$\hspace{-.88em}%? Do you know how I can add this? I tried the Blogger Help Group Discussion and had no luck. Thanks.

    well, I won't comment on add smilies since just coming from the PBwiki site its apparent you had some success on that score! As for tagging, a relatively new feature in PB, after you log in its at the very bottom left hand corner of the page "Tags:" I added "add a tag!" to point it out on the main page. You simply need to click on the "+" to add a tag! cheers,
    Alex.
