After making some serious changes for my Wikitravel page, I've completed my project. The formatting was very tedious and annoying. Everything had to be consistent and match up with Wikitravels requirements for entries. I added a number of attractions and locations to the website that I found to be an important part of South County. I have been there and enjoyed my experience, so I would think other people would want to be part of that experience as well.
I have to upload my information to Wikitravel website, which I heard is a lengthy process. There are a number of minor edits I will be making to the page so it is consistent with the rest of the Wiki format, but I didn't add it to the word.doc since it was as minor as the spacing or appearance of the entry. Now I look back and I wonder if I should have added more locations? There was really no set criteria for this assignment so the guidelines were a bit vague. I think it was more of what we got out of the assignment though. I definitely learned that I can write effectively without the long descriptions and jargon.
I think it's funny that we were in class and people were having edit wars with one another on the site. This can be annoying because what we actually spent a lot of time on, they could be erasing Not fair! Overall, this project was interesting. This was good because it kept everything in order so it was easy to read. It's easy to relate this website to the Ch. we read for today. You can really see what works on a website and what causes difficulty and confusion.
