MALABAR,FL

The wifi connection is terrible so no photos on my blog. No shade again and no pool or lake. Only staying here 2 days to get laundry done and some exploring. Mom has to check on our itinerary. Going to Georgia next. Some big dogs here and they are cuties. Golden retreiver in red harness. Some guy wanted to know if I was going to breed becasue he wanted a puppy that looks like me. Mom had to tell him - I was fixed. But we told him to go to rescue and maybe he would find a dog looking like me. He was a nice young man who loved pit bulls. He said it was good that I was out at parks and walking near people and getting social. He hates dog fighting and wants to do the right thing with his pit bull.

WIKIS AND MORE

I found the example – Bull Run Library – the most interesting but wonder why a library would need both a website and a wiki. Just one more thing to keep up to date and most of the information is on website.

Here is an excellent slide show that tells you about Wikis and their use in libraries
Wikiing in your library: a practical overview - http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/physio/barsky-wiki-vall.pdf A wiki is really a type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. A Wiki is an excellent library tool for internal projects collaboration, internal brainstorming and ideas sharing. My old mom could use a wiki as a websmaster to collaborate with other Content Management System users.

In my research on wikis, I joined a Wiki for Rescue dogs and here is one on their badges to put on websites. The site is http://www.wikifido.com/ using WetPaint, a site which provides free wikis & websites.



I love this cartoon about Wet Paint so enjoy.
