I have used pbwiki very minimally in the past, but this week's assignment really helped me to feel more confident with it! Previously I had added content to someone else's wiki using the service (in this class, in the 23 Things program, and at work), but creating a wiki, along with my colleague, was really empowering. I found that pbwiki was as easy to use as any word processing program.
I thought that wikispaces seemed just as easy to use at first. And I really liked the sleek interface and pop-up windows. Also, it seemed even easier to add an image to a page in wikispaces than in pbwiki. However, I really got tripped up when I tried to insert a piece of code from Goodreads into my wikispaces wiki. I'd done this on my pbwiki page, so it shouldn't have been a problem, but nothing I tried worked and the help page was not particularly helpful. I think I'll be sticking with pbwiki. After all, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
If you're interested, here's my extremely minimal wikispace wiki: http://rtscils598s09.wikispaces.com/.

Hi Becca,
Sarah Cove from Wikispaces here. We are always looking to improve Wikispaces and make it even easier to use. I'd love to hear about the problems you had adding the code to your wiki - what steps you took and what happened when you tried - and what about the help was confusing for you.
Any feedback you have would be most appreciated.
Best,
Sarah
