 * What is a Wiki? **

I know you've all used //Wikipedia// which is a very large Wiki in which the whole world can add or edit the content. A wiki is just a online information source that can alternate between working like a web page and working like a blog. In other words, people who visit the wiki can add to or change the information. When you want to add to the wiki or edit it, you just select "edit," then type in your additions, and finally select "save." Your comments are instantly posted for all who have been invited to view our Wiki. Of course, all who have been invited to the Wiki can also add, update, or change the information on the Wiki as well. Please rest assured that the only people who will be invited to edit or view our Wiki will be the members of our 6 Traits wiki.

** How to use our Wiki **
**Another way to gain or add information on our Wiki is to select a colored title on the left "navigation" pane. If you want to add to this list, just click on the top tab that says, “Edit this page.” Then this works just like a word document. You can type in anything you want. Click “Save’ when you’re done and your suggestions will be added for all to see. It would be great if you could add some books or Trait Tipa and strategies to our site this way.**
