Week 15: Wikis

This is my favorite week. I think the best was saved until last! I've been wanting to create information on a wiki, but had not known exactly how to do it. After looking at a number of wikis, I decided to add some information to Wikipedia about one of my ancestors, Humphrey Tiffany. Here is where that information can be found. The web address is "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiffany."

As he was the first Tiffany in Massachusetts, I was able to add him to the Tiffany article on Wikipedia along with other famous other people named Tiffany. Included in this list was Louis Comfort Tiffany,the stained glass artist, as well as Charles Louis Tiffany, the founder of Tiffany & Co. I have now been able to boast in jest to some of my co-workers that I have published material to my credit:)

Now that I have added a line about Humphrey Tiffany, I see that I can create a whole page about him. This has been so much fun! It makes some of the more difficult weeks of 23thingsKansas worth the effort.
