Wikispace Instructional Handouts

Has anyone used the wikispace as a LiveText reference yet? Has it been helpful? Is it useless?Does it need any additional tutorials?

Hi Big Tom
Need to vent.....
A comment about the placement of the log off ( tab? is there a techy word for clicking on this ?) position. I do not remember it being combined in the middle with 3 other tabs. I am consistently clicking the wrong one. It is frustrating. It might be easier if it were placed at the far right.
Also it would be nice to have a back to the top at the bottom of the page. And the new format requires several steps to place work into a folder...well maybe there is a way that I am not aware of.
Thanks for listening. And off to cyberspace we go! (I hope)

Google Accounts and Blog Reinvites

For anyone who had trouble last night, I think it would be easier if you created your gmail account first and then accepted my blog invite. To create a gmail account, paste this link into your address bar:

https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount

This link is long but it will take you straight to the Google gmail account registration page.

After you have created your account please accept my newest invite that I sent to your Ohio University Webmail account.

Questions and Hopefully Answers

1.Use this post to ask any questions that you have concerning LiveText.
2.Feel free to create new posts to ask questions as well.

I just don't really like livetext. I'm not sold yet and am having trouble finding real perks to the organization of it. I don't know how much more likely I would be to show this to an employer than another type of portfolio. Can anyone convince me that livetext is great?
