Embracing Web 2.0

After struggling to get the page and it's contents -just so- we (Liz, Lynel, and I) decided to ditch the fee for service web hosting tool and embrace wikispaces. It was a good decision. Create in word processor, copy and paste into the edit tool for wikispaces and done. Links, images, even videos were so much easier to post there than in the fee for service tool.
I am only slightly embarassed to admit the web 2.0 tool was not my first choice. I mean I knew that the tools on the web were easy to use and that connecting one web resource to another was fairly easy to accomplish. Many of the tools also include the ability to share the management of the sites and make portions public or private.
For our purposes, these will work just fine and the price is right. We just need to live there a little longer to get used to the neighborhood. I also need to brush up on some code in case I want to move to the next level in page appearance or offerings, but one wouldn't have to if they didn't want to...
Blogs, Podcasts and Wiki for E=d3L have a visit and see what you think.
