+ The wiki I recommend is PBwiki. I have also set up a New Comm Road PBwiki for listeners to check out and practice updating.

Here’s how to set up your own PBwiki:

  1. Go to PBwiki.com
  2. Pick a name for your new PBwiki
  3. Enter the e-mail address where you want your password sent
  4. Click the “Make a wiki” button

Making the most of your PBwiki account:

  • Display password prominently for editing pages
  • Check your settings to ensure that you receive an update each time the wiki is updated
  • Choose point-and-click editor from your settings
  • Invite others to contribute to the wiki and offer them an incentive to participate
  • Organize an event/project around the wiki such as a book chapter, unconference, or classroom project

New Comm Road Citation:

The citation is being given to bloggers who publish partial RSS feeds instead of full RSS feeds.

Thanks also to Nico Pin from Snowy Day Design for jogging my memory on how ensure you’re publishing full RSS feeds in WordPress.

MUSIC:
+ From GarageBand.com: Still Holding On, by Rantings of Eva
