--Return to the Writer Thing List

One way to see the value of a wiki for your work is to sign up for one and play with it. Create a bio with links to your blog and resource lists from Delicious.

To complete Thing 22 you must:
A.
Create your own wiki
B. Reflect on thing 22 on your blog

Here's a list of Wiki sites to create your own. Read about each and choose the one that's best for you.

Optional Experience
You may want to try using someone elses wiki before creating your own. One place to test the tool is Wikipedia. It's a free account. Choose a topic you are knowledgeable about and add helpful information. Please stay true to their mission and add information that will help others on the topic. Give it a try if you wish.
