LIBR 246-11 - A Web 2.0 learning community[LIBR 246-11 - A Web 2.0 learning community] Creating a wiki was a new experience, something I hadn't done previously in class or at the library where I work.  For me it was harder choosing a topic and deciding what to say than putting it online, since I chose a fairly straightforward format.  The WetPaint instructions suggested using links often, so I decided to add a menu at the bottom of each page.  Of course that would have to be changed if new pages (as opposed to entries on each page) were added, but I thought it made the wiki navigation seem very clear.
