I've invented internet graffiti

So my wiki has turned into graffiti and I don't mind that. Some people would call in vandalism, I call it free expression. However, it has taught me a few lessons.

• If you are to run a personal wiki, you'd should have everybody create an account in order to make changes. One person cannont maintain a wiki like a community can.
  
• This would allow you to 'audit' the changes quite easily. Right now it's too difficult for one person to do all the editing to clean up the content. For personal wiki's this is bad, for community wiki's (wikipedia) this is okay.
• Wiki software should have some sort of hightlight/track changes system, this way it's easy to find all the individual changes made. Instead of combing though my paragraphs for "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills" or "I am finding out that wiki is NOT a good idea."
• Wiki's need RSS feeds, maybe some of them do, but my software doesn't.
• The wiki editor is AMAZING. It is a little flaky on formatting, but it offers so many possibilities. Everything should be like that; blogs, wiki's, homepages. They don't have to take the concept that anybody can edit, but they should all use a really sophisticated text editor.
  

So I'm gonna let the wiki run wild for a while, do with it what you must. What will come out of this is some new ideas.

1. Not allowing people to change your personal content is probably a good idea
2. Wiki's can be fun, they just need some more auditing/change tracking features

My plan is to take a snapshot of the last good wiki and make it static (un-editable.) I'll then create some sort of new blog with a wiki on the side.

I still need to post all the photos and stories from my roadtrip, I really dropped the ball on that one as it was too much work to keep that up and running 100% on my roadtrip.
