Officially, I’m on holidays as long as the sun still shines. Unofficially, well …
Since I’m in another tidying up phase I decided to have another look at the old survey. One of the outstanding comments there is in answer to the question: “What other content would be useful to you?”
“How to know when to stop re-organizing when you have a system set up, a curse of a Virgo.”
At this point, you have everything you need to build your genealogy wiki. But in WikiWorld there’s always more. Some of it’s easy and some of it’s way-out-there.
Sometimes it’s useful to be able to import tiddlers from one wiki to another without the stress and strain of copying and pasting. Either on your own hard-drive or from the Internet.
You can link to any type of document or multimedia file: html, pdf, pps, doc, audio, video, whatever you have. If you have the software to create it or open it, you can link to it. Txt is OK; rtf is really not unless you can make it open directly with something besides your browser. You might as well do something that looks better. You can just as easily save the page as html.
Sometimes you’ll want to add a photo to a tiddler. And sometimes you’ll want to link to external albums and other documents. So it’s time to start talking about making links.
First, you need to think about where you’re going to gather your material. Previously, I made three folders; docs, images, and albums.
