WORDPRESS AND WIKI

I’m going to play with my new wiki soon, but right now, I am still trying to understand how WordPress works.  So far, so good.  I have finally figured out trackbacks.  I never knew what that was before. And the FAQ section here answered another question of mine so simply and quickly!  Yum!

WordPress also gives me a blog roll that can be customizeD.  At last. The HTML editor works great–fast and easy to use.  And, finally, I’ll be typing posts right here online in WordPress instead of composing them first in MS Word as I had to do with Xanga.  The software here is one streamlined baby, it looks like.

Yes, I’m finding this blogging software to be SO clean in every way.  Also, I love the open space and the clean colors and lines of the template I’m using.  Plus, there are tons of free templates out there to experiment with.  It feels like getting your home redecorated every few months or so if you like for free with all those free templates out there!

Oh, how I do enjoy the lack of other people’s advertising on my personal site! 

Okay, I’ve spent long enough here playing with the buttons.  Now, I’m off to my free wiki site to play around there because it does have something to do with writing for children although I won’t say what exactly in public.  At least not yet.  I ADORE wikis.

I will say this much:   A wiki can be quite useful thing to use in the writing process.  I am finding this to be so.  Go here and sign up for your free one!

And no, wiki is not a pagan or icky word or a bad word: 

It is from Hawaii, from wiki-wiki, and means “quick!”   Cool, huh?
