The Decision to Blog or Wiki


The Decision to Blog or Wiki

As part of my Introduction to Computers module we were assigned a choice of project, either a blog or a knowledge base.  I had initially chosen the wiki based knowledge base as I felt that I would have nothing interesting to write in a blog that would encapsulate my targeted audience.  A change of heart came suddenly and unexpectedly on Friday the 15th May 2012 at 8:00pm the day prior to our ultimate and binding decision. 

All our lecturers in room 3.03 were having recurrent problems with the batteries in the microphone and tonight was no exception.  We took a break at 7:40pm but when we arrived back the clock had not moved.  The batteries in the clock had stopped working, our lecturer commented on this and commenced talking about the eminent projects.  The mic cut out several times.  The batteries failing may seem like a coincidence to the reader but to me it was like a lighting bolt or more exactly an electric bulb moment.  I though about the battery incident for the rest of the evening and I awoke the next morning fully decided to pursue the blog.  

The blog would be about my house - A Haunted House.  I had been wondering who the spirit was visiting our house for over three years.  I hoped contributors' to my blog would help me in uncovering the mystery.  

Over the next couple of days I will post the history of the house from when we moved in and then the voyage of discovery can begin.  I can’t wait to start but I am going to need a lot of advice  from all viewing this post.  Thanks in advance
