Publishing Your Information - Information Trapping: Real-Time Research on the Web - page 301

Once you've made your wiki, a vanilla page with a navigation bar on the
side displays to help you administrate it. I like the way that SeedWiki is
doing its wiki because it provides a lot of freedom to experiment. You can
make a wiki, and if you don't like it or want to mess around, you can just
delete it and start over—no muss, no fuss.

Wikispaces
Less standalone than a regular wiki is Wikispaces (wikispaces.com), which
ofers easy integration with blog tools like Blogger. Once you've registered
(registration requires a user name, e-mail address, and password), you have
the option of creating a “space.” Spaces can be public (anybody can view
and edit), protected (anybody can view, but only certain people can edit),
and private (nobody can view or edit). Public and protected options are
free, but the private option costs $5 a month.

Once you've created your space, you'll see that it looks a lot like a wiki, only
the editing options seem a little friendlier than most. For more information
on integrating Wikispace into your TypePad or Blogger blog, go into the
options menu and check out the Integrate a Blog option.

Wikis and blogs are two types of Web sites, and are ofered as packaging
and hosting services. But while they're two types of Web sites, they aren't
the only kinds of Web sites. You can also make your own site.

Making Your Own Site

When it comes down to it, an HTML page is just a text ile that has cer-
tain formatting elements in it. It's not a programming language. It doesn't
require compiling. As long as you have some Web space and a way to upload
your HTML iles, you can create your own Web site to hold your found
information.
