Assignment 1: Start Wiki
Due October 2, 2009

Reflection
The assignment was to start this wiki. I decided to use wikispaces because I liked the look of their templates.I was a little confused about the nature of the assignment so I used my name for the wiki name. I placed some basic information on the home page but in general I was confused about the topic for the wiki so I kept the default for most items on the site. I did spend time learning how to use various features of the wiki. Eventually I decided on the topic of my wiki—to post assignments for my Writing for the Web class. I created a logo with my name and image representing myself working at my computer. I also listed information about my class and reasons for creating the wiki on my home page. This follows Redish suggestions for identifying the site, establishing the brand, and setting the tone and personality of the site (31).
