Sharing your passion

Wikis are websites where visitors can easily collaborate and add content without any technical knowledge. There are many wiki hosting services available. Most allow you to easily create a website very quickly. Many are totally free. Generally if you can send e-mail, you have what it takes to use and to create a wiki.

Wikis are perfect solutions for those who want to build a website to describe their passion. Wikis allow you to create a site that can be shared with people all around the world. You can easily create a site to be shared with a community of people that are also interested in your passion. Everyone can easily pitch in to add content, post ideas, ask questions, and communicate with each other. It's easy to add photos, videos, and polls. Music can be added to the site too. For example, maybe you'd like to create a fan site for your favorite band. You can have a music player on the site that automatically plays your favorite playlist of their hits. You can also add other neat features, like online chat, to many wikis. You can add a calendar to the wiki to show a calendar of events. Community members can create their own pages on the site too. Wikis offer so many opportunities for people to share their passion with creativity and ease.

Here's a neat video that describes how a wiki can be used. It describes how easy it is to create a wiki on Wetpaint. It also describes when a wiki might be a better way to share your passion compared to a blog or a message board.
