#17 Add an entry into the Sandbox Wiki created with PB Wiki

Sandbox" is the term that wikis often use to describe the area of the website that should be used for pure play. For this discovery and exploration exercise, we have set up the Maryland Libraries Sandbox (made online with PBWiki).

This site is for nothing but play and a record of your participation.

For this “explore-and-play-with-wikis” exercise, you are asked to add an entry or two to the Maryland Libraries Sandbox. The theme of this wiki is simply “Favorites” -- favorite books, favorite blogs, favorite wikis, favorite anything you might like to add …all you need to do is "play" and add your thoughts. To mark your adventure on this site, you should add your personal blog to the Favorite Blogs page. Tip: Don't forget to log in and create an account.

Discovery Exercise:

1. Access the Maryland Libraries Sandbox and create a login account for yourself.
2. Add your blog to the Favorite Blogs page. That's how we'll know that you've been there. It’s easy to do using their new "point and click" interface. Example: Type in your Blog Name, click on the little world/chain link icon and then paste (or type) in your URL.
3. OPTIONAL: Add a favorite or two to a few other pages (Favorite books, favorite wikis, etc). And, if you feel up to the challenge, you might even want to create a separate page for a book review or a short travel essay and link up to that.
4. Create a post in your blog about the experience.
