    Hi,

    It’s an excellent article. You have mentioned that white is considered an unlucky colour in India, that’s not true. It’s considered as a colour of peace and purity. You will see this colour being very widely used in the websites of India.

    Thanks

    Dear All,

    Sub:- Please help me out on Wiki Web Design

    I have puzzled with the task of Wiki Web Design & Development Strategies, and very much eager to know these questions:

    1 Whether should we prepare for the final presentation of our Wiki Web Design work?

    2 Will is it exact task of web programming? Or the content of the website can be something we fetch?

    Thanks

    Best wishes!

    I won’t go so deep with the definition of Wiki but if you are not familiar with it, they are websites that anyone can freely edit and optimize to grow through collaboration; This Wiki software is developed by Ward Cunningham to exchange ideas between computer programmers. Wiki Web Design is an incredibly fun skill to learn - combining the latest technology with the creativity of Wiki web design. Wiki merely supports hyperlinks & has simple text syntax for creating new pages and cross links between any numbers of pages on the fly.

    Thanks & Regards

    Very good resource. I know about a lot of those.

    If you want to search for even more, then you can try searching for custom/personal wikis.

    This is a first attempt at a website. I have to learn how to get into it and change it. Is there anything in it that puts you off, (apart from how some of it is worded)? I am hoping to put in a video clip, but am hopelessly ignorant about websites and all that has to do with them. I am hoping to get someone to teach me.
