Several people have had trouble following the directions for Thing 17, including me to my chagrin. I started using PBWiki last year – how could I NOT get it? Well I didn’t, and Donna H. helped me so don’t feel bad if you have trouble too!
Here are my directions for another staff member:
1. Go to http://marylandlibrariessandbox.pbwiki.com/Favorite%20Blogs.
2. Click the Edit Page link at the top of the page. This will prompt you to enter the password which is mdstaff. You also have to enter your name and email address. Once you do this you’ll be in editing mode for the page.
3. Scroll down to where BCPL has their entries – about halfway down the page.
4. Put your cursor at the end of the title above where yours will go, and hit enter. This should open up a line for you to enter the title of your blog.
5. After you type in the title, highlight it with your cursor.
6. Go to the editing buttons and find the one for a link. It should look like a chain link icon.
7. When you click that icon, set link type to URL and then enter the URL for your blog (http://….).
8. Click OK to close the URL box, and then click SAVE to save the changes you made to the wiki page.
9. Check to make sure it looks the way you want it on the wiki page. If it appears next to the previous blog title, just put your cursor between the two and hit enter to drop it down to the next line.
10. Save again.
