It was easy to add my page to the 23 Things wiki but I was not able to add the link. Reading the comments I noticed that Safari and Wet Paint can be problematic, so will try to add the link at work with the more commonly used browser. Glad the comments were there to help me!
As I mentioned on the page, I had been thinking about making a wiki of book lists, read a-likes and other RA links, or whatever, for my use, but with all the advertising and steps to create the pages, may use Google Docs. I have heard they can be quirky, but they are cleaner. I want something I can add to at home and at work without resorting to having to have a flash drive or such. I can store it in the cloud with no physical thing to keep track of!
I did explore other wikis, but don’t have some expertise in mind that I feel I can add to any of them. Having now played with one, the 23 Things, I can see how easy it is, and if I feel so inclined at some point, or come across a wiki I can use or need, may do so later.
We tried using a wiki at my branch for our monthly report. The idea was to open it up, add the activities we did right after we did them and everyones ‘reports’ would be in one place for the manager. It never took off. Some staff weren’t comfortable with the process, it took too many clicks and steps to get to where we needed to be, the multiple steps for saving made some entries disappear and remembering more log ons and passwords was just too much. For wikis to work for a group, they have to be comfortable for everyone and that isn’t always the case.
