#17 scrabbling around in the sandbox

All I did for the first 10 minutes was to stumble over an invisible button in the PLCMS sandbox.
It said right there on the page "just (oh! how I hate that word) click on 'edit' on the top of the page and I couldn't find the word could I.

So battered and bruised I hopped out, checked what others had found, and then tiptoed back in, must have done something different and managed to add my blog to the honour roll.

Second time round was easier and I managed to tell the world about Gardens of the Sun a great bit of polemical garden writing by Trevor Nottle. (Free plug for a great book)

Took a look at PBwiki and think we might manage one for Beaufort..who will help me persuade Norman to have a go?

#16 wiki wonderland

Drilling deep down in the Davis community wiki there is a gossy little session focussed on what happened when the manager of a local thrift shop shifted the rack of mens clothes!. This is real village pump stuff and coexists happily with the pages of opening hours, attractions, resources and other good community info people are contributing to the Davis wiki page. The potential wikis have forlocal community houses and other development groups seems fabulous. Visitor information centres too... no annoyingly out of date information, multiple contributors.
Some other guys can focus on libraries wikis seem to be just what our community needs for web presence.

I wonder how hard it is to set one up?
