Developing skills for Wiki authoring
Many of the skills you need for Wiki authoring - eg, editing text - are similar to those you need for blogging. However, there are some features specific to wikis, and each wiki platform handles some of these features in its own way. These notes deal in particular with PbWorks; other platforms will work in a largely similar way, but watch out for the differences.
Starting
In PbWorks:
- Click on Create a page (at the top of the right-hand column)
- Give the page a name (keep it fairly short), and do Create page
- Start typing your text in the editing pane; use formatting, create links, include images (as in a blog platform)
- When you are ready to stop, click Save (bottom left of editing pane)
Link to another page
Select the word or phrase you wish to act as a link
Click on the hyperlink button (top row of editing toolbar)
From the first drop-down menu, choose LInk type: PBworks page
From the second drop-down menu, choose Page: New page
Give the new page a suitable Name
Click OK
