Create your own wiki

PBwiki logo

The folks over at pbwiki have been hard at work enhancing their free wiki service, pbwiki. Their tagline is, “PBwiki makes creating a wiki as easy as making a peanut butter sandwich.”

In fact, they are currently running an offer to double the space on my own pbwiki if I advertise blog about their service.

Why don’t you give them a try? There’s no maintenance to your wiki, it’s free, it’s constantly updated and upgraded, it has a nice clean style, works in lots of languages, and has the option to upgrade to a premium account that can store a whopping 1GB of data (you start out with 10).

I did notice a few problems which I’m sure they’ll fix. Since my Wiki is new and no “recent changes were made” the rss feed link choked on this rare kind of wiki while the atom feed worked fine.

Warning:  arsort() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /xfs/pbwiki/user/rss2.php on line 69
Warning:  Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in /xfs/pbwiki/user/rss2.php on line 73–

Once I made a change to the wiki, the rss feed fixed itself.

In addition, their password logic has a flaw. I entered a 64–character strong password to manage the account. I usually do this from the passwords generated at Steve Gibson’s Ultra High Security Password Generator. The site accepted the password, but didn’t allow me to log in with it. There was obviously some kind of failure there.

So, I cropped off a smaller chunk of characters from the beginning, tried again, and the password reset took and I was able to log in.
