Thing 9 - Wiki Sandbox

Having a Sandbox area to experiment with is an interesting way to approach learning about a wiki. It gives you a bit more freedom to experiment without the fear that you might be messing something up. Although you can always return a page to a previous state it seems to me that you are sharing a level of trust between the participants not to undo work you have already done. Sort of a weird feeling if you've been accustomed to creating in isolation. The directions-instructions for this assignment seem to be spread out all over the place. I think I spent three hours re-reading and going back over everything trying to make sure I had done everything I was supposed to do. ;-) I'm not sure I have any suggestions for simplifying but I might come up with something when my head stops spinning.

My wiki page is called Sandy - Seemed to be a theme of some sort going on.

Please do share any suggestions you have. That's one of the problems with a wiki, I think. It's so easy to create a new page when you have a new idea and link to it, it is easy to have too much and confusing information. This is the first time we've had our participants actually create their own page, so I'd love any feedback you might have.
