//__**June 2011**__//

I spent some time on the phone with Scot trying to learn how to navigate through the wiki site I developed. He walked me through how to upload a picture into my wiki. I spent some time playing around with it.

__//**July 3**//__

Today I worked on links and uploads. I also have been trying to change the logo on my wiki. The problem I am having is that every time I add a picture I lose the title of my wiki in the logo corner. I worked on this for over an hour and finally gave up and worked more on adding pages to my wiki.

I also worked on my proposal for our major project. I figured out how to add it to our class wiki and how to add journal pages to my name on our class wiki. I hope that as I do this process more and more I will be able to do it faster right now it is so time consuming... but so rewarding when it works !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I spell check on this page???? :>

I also want to be able to link back to my home page from this page???

__//**July 10**//__ ﻿ Today I worked on adding more covers of books to my home page and internal and external links for the book cover images. I also added links to the authors page. I want to make it a habit to view all the web pages I supply links to. I want this wiki to be one that children can explore freely without additional links being a concern.

I still want to work on adding the name of the wiki site to the home page next to the logo but have had a great deal of difficulty with the look and feel part of the wiki to change this. Anyone have any ideas? Teri

__ July 31 __ I had a new idea today. I wanted to add discussion pages for each book so that people who visit the site can talk about each book separately. So I spent time creating new pages for each book. I linked them to the home page and to the page that lists the books by age. I am still having trouble with the spacing while editing. I also want to figure out how to add a rating scale for each book from 1 star to 5 stars... 5 being the highest. I also want to start inviting people to visit the site and add comments and new books. I think this wiki is going to be really fun when I start teaching again and my students can also participate in the wiki.
