Playing in the Sandbox

I always loved playing in the sandbox (sandpit?) as a kid - so much fun to be had making sandcastles, playing with my brother's trucks etc - filling them with sand and driving them around, dumping the sand in my brother's shoes.... ah, the joys of childhood.

I also had some fun playing with the Learning 2.0 wiki which was a little challenging. I know I was going on a few posts ago about setting up a wiki for my family and we even used pbwiki to do it but... I have a memory like a sieve and couldn't remember how to do anything so struggled with it. I did, however, manage to put a few things in there, including my sister's Toblerone Cheesecake recipe on a newly-created "Favourite Yummy Things" page. I also added some favourites to the music page (I frequent Myspace quite a lot) and the only sporting activity I've taken any interest in over the past few months is there too on the favourite sports page.

I did have a problem doing the following also:

Add your blog to the Favourite Blogs page. That's how we'll know that you've been there. It’s easy to do if you follow this simple syntax

Example:

[ URL Title of blog]

[ http://stmbtech.pbwiki.com Learning 2.0 ]

With brackets [ ] and just a little typing, you’ve added a link - it’s as easy as that!

Actually, I didn't find it that easy - instead I just clicked on the 'link' button in the toolbar at the top, chose 'link to URL' and typed the address of the blog/myspace page/website in that box. Not sure how the above was suppose to work as I tried it but couldn't do it... perhaps I missed something?
