I want a bold word?  Just type '''word''' and you've got it.  Want a header?  !!Header.  Etc etc.My <a href="http://uneasyaccess.com/aowwiki/" target="_blank">Age of Worms</a> wiki is there.  It's probably a little illegal, as I've yoinked and edited some of the place write-ups for my Diamond Lake sections, but it's for personal use and I'm linking here for illustration purposes.I'm using a wiki called PMWiki (found at <a href="http://www.pmwiki.org)" target="_blank">www.pmwiki.org)</a>.  I've tried a few wikis, but this is honestly my favorite.  I like the robust nature of its mark-up, the mark-up is easy, I've even done tables with it, and the lovely thing is ... the initial instal is less than 1mb!  It's tight and runs fast and smooth, and I like that alot.PHPWiki is about 2mb, but I wasn't as fond of its mark-up and features.  Right now the only parts of that site that are up are the Character Traits section and the Diamond Lake section (only part of that).  I had about 3x the data, but I was messing around in my directories and nuked the site.  >.<  So this is what I have of the rebuild.Eventually I'll add art I've culled from the AoW PDFs, spice it up with some stuff I make myself, and it'll be available for my players.I'll post their PCs and let them do the upkeep, I'll let them access pretty much anything and add to it if they want.  The nice thing about a wiki is you've got a roll-back option on every page, to look back and see the changes, and undo them if you don't like them.  If one of the players wanted to log into the Character Creation section and change 28 pt. buy to 32 pt. buy ... I could go change it back.  Mostly I like the wiki for the speed and the small install.I could use a CMS like Drupal (which I'm basing my other sites on) but to make a web-page page involves in-line PHP and HTML and I find the wiki to be faster.--fje</blockquote>
