PB Wiki - Yum

I see that I have three followers. Hopefully I can make this blog something worth reading!

This post will be shorter than my last one. I don' t have as much to say about PB Wiki. Accessing and typing into the post was the easy part. I had more difficult coming up with the six reasons to love my library:) Even though I felt frustrated because I couldn't come up with a simple list, I ended up learning why PB Wiki is a useful collaborative tool. I looked at other people's additions to the post and got some ideas from them. Brilliant!

I had some difficult using there editing tools though. I wanted to make my post look like the others, but it took too long. PB wiki didn't have a way to copy and paste text. I'm used to selecting text and then right-clicking to cut/copy/paste. It took me a while to get used to using the "Edit" menu.

One digression, I really like how Blogger auto saves this post as a draft every few minutes as I type. Blogger makes it difficult to lose text- yay.

Anyway, the only other major thing that I learned about PB Wiki- after I completed my post, by the way- is that only one person can access/ edit the post at the same time. My co-worker told me about this after I commented that I got a message during one editing session about someone else who was accessing the post at the same time I was, so I couldn't get through to edit my part. I hit yes to, in essence, kick the other person off of the site. When I found out why the message popped up and what I did to the other user, I felt bad. I didn't mean to kick the person off, all I wanted to do was get rid of some extra blank lines to make my post take up less space. Oopps. Now I know in case I ever use PB Wiki at another time.

A recurring theme so far is that I'm making these exercises more complicated than they need to be since I feel pressure to do a good job and represent myself as a competent person. The drawback is that I'm taking up too much time and stressing out too much over this endeavor. Next week, I resolve to relax and manage my time better.

I'm looking forward to next week.
