Discovery Exercise #20 PB Wiki

This exercise was a confusing one. I needed more instructions, at least to get started. The instructions posted said:

1. Click "Edit Page" at the top of this page
2. Type something
3. Click Save!

So I clicked "Edit Page", logged in (per the directions on the web page) and ended up at the Front Page.
"This can't be right, " I thought. "This isn't where I should be adding my blog." (Although now I understand how the Yarn Harlot's Blog was added to the front page.) So I clicked on Favorite Blogs.
"This is more like it," I thought. But then I couldn't figure out to get my link to look like all the other links. I decided I probably should watch the video before proceeding any further. But, I was "on desk" meaning I would be interrupted every few minutes by someone with a question. Plus, I had no headphones, which meant I could not quietly listen to the video. So, I decided it was probably best to wait and watch the video on my break. (This "waiting and watching videos later" is one of the major problems with Learning 2.0 and one of the main reasons it has taken me so long to complete the program! But, more on that in a later post...)

I watched the video. It was informative, but it didn't help me figure out how to make my link look all the others. I decided to go to the list of SPPL Learning 2.0 participants, copy the link of my blog and paste it in the wiki. It worked. (I really enjoyed changing the font style and color of my link, too. That is a way cool feature!) But, this problem with creating a link has given me a hint on where I need to do more learning with SPPL Learning 2.0 or at least go back and review previous lessons.
