Well, I have dipped my toes into wiki-world and find the waters not too bad. First, I learned that I could use the services of a "wiki farm" or host the wiki myself on the server for my website. Being a total wiki novice, I opted for a wiki farm — wikia.com. In the week that I've ben building the wiki, I've been very happy with wikis. In addition to an extensive help forum, their response to additional questions is reasonably prompt (within one working day) and helpful. Here's the wiki —http://esol-volunteer.wikia.com — still a work in progress, but I'm pleased with how it's working. Suggestions welcome.

New URL... Same Blog
I decided I wanted to create a wiki to help my students with volunteer options (more on that later), and found myself back here after way too long an absence. Maybe one reason I've been staying away is that I didn't like the original URL — esolteacherhelp. It seemed presumptuous from one who is still struggling to find the best way or ways. A better name would have been helpesolteacher, but I decided to rename it to my name instead. More on the wiki and volunteering to come.
