Wiki is not Tricky

If you haven't encountered or explored Wikis previously...this resource is a nice, fairly organized introduction.

Share your expertise and learn from others through the eHow Guide. A Google service product claiming to have "clear instructions on how to do (just about) everything".

After a scan through several I agree the instructions are clear. Several content areas however were dismal at best. For example, How to Detect Personality Traits lists approximately nine steps the last of which is "Check into websites that offer handwriting analysis." and "Buy a book on handwriting analysis."

Now the beauty of a Wiki is that if I am a handwriting analyst, I can add detail and elaborate on the current steps. My handwriting analysis skills are limited to deciphering what letters and/or words students have written. Perhaps this means the true beauty of a Wiki is in the hand of the beholder.
