Wiki Website

I have some ideas about what the layout/design of the site could be like. I think that the design I have in mind would allow for everyone to put their ideas on the site, while still having a site that meshes together well. Summer22 talked about using personal profiles, Ontherecliner talked about giving information about bars/nightlife, and BradytoMoss wanted to contribute information about intramural sports on campus (I didn’t feel complete until I had THREE examples).

The site layout that I had in mind would be somewhat of a forum and I have another website that is setup in the exact same way that we could use as a model. Basically it would have many different categories on the left side of the page. In the center of the page would be links to the newest posts of the day. We could allow not only ourselves but also other students/faculty to post comments on the website. This would ensure that if other people visited our site it would be constantly updated.

However,  I don’t want to get ahead of myself. These ideas are all contingent on people agreeing with the layout/design of the site. I do think this setup would be great for allowing everyone to keep their own ideas/individuality on the site, and also to bring all these ideas together on one site and be easy to navigate.

 The website is:

  1. I love the in-group coding, why is your affective experience of having THREE examples worth drawing attention to? :-)

    Can you post the link for the site you have in mind? I’m thinking the wiki software is not going to be adequate for the range of creative ideas being generated . . . for the past two days I’ve been thinking its time to use some of the webspace I’ve purchased but never used.

    (See?! You are all pushing me, too!)

  2. hey, is Coastguardocs.org the web address? I can’t seem to get to it and I’m interested in checking it out. Do you think you could post a new active link? (maybe I’m just technologically illiterate…)
