Firefox and Wiki Wiki Wikis



I use Firefox all the time, at work and at home. While overall I like it, one complaint I have is that many times their updates "cannot be installed" for some reason or other when I try to install them. I now usually wait until they've sent me notices to upgrade this or that at least three or four times before I upgrade, because it never seems to work otherwise.

I had to participate in a wiki when I took my Access class in library school a couple of years ago. While the process was educational, the topics we had to wiki were BORING and I got really tired of posting to the wiki. Thankfully, once I had a grade, I could stop!

I've decided to create a wiki for 21 Things all about youth librarians' favorite topic: Summer Reading!! (I know, I know, try to contain yourselves, lol...)

I figure, Summer Reading never really ends. If you're not actively doing it, you're planning for it somehow. So why not have a wiki where ideas/thoughts/concerns/complaints/brainstorms/braindrizzles/eurekas can be shared?

Right now I'm waiting for PBWorks to send me my confirmation email so I can get started.

(checking her watch, checking her mail, tapping her foot...)

UPDATE: Here is a link to my Wiki: SummerReadingNeverEnds

  1. This time, I hope that you get remotivated and not feel as though this is a another task to attend to.

  2. Hey Elizabeth

    Tried checking out your wiki, but it looks like you've made it private. If you'd like to make it public, you can go into 'settings' on your wiki, and under 'access controls' click 'workspace security' and choose 'anyone' on who can view this workspace. : )

  3. I did change the settings; I thought it was supposed to be by invitation or something... Anyway, it's up and running!
