Easy Wiki Creation

Creating a wiki is an easy way to develop web pages.

A wiki is a group of web pages created and edited by one person (or a group of people) that allow for easy access and editing via a web browser. The pages contain text but they also support links and other forms of markup language. Since wiki web sites are easy to use but hard to describe, here’s a great video that explains the wiki concept:

One of the easiest to use wikis is PBwiki. Here’s a video demonstrating how to get started with your wiki in PBwiki:

If you don’t like PBwiki, don’t fret, there are a ton of wikis out there.
