Getting there…
I a little happier with Mediwiki now that I have been able to change the Monobook CSS.  I highly recommend the following tutorial: MediaWiki Restyling 1.  It took me a little while to figure out what to include and where it should go but the work was made much easier with FireFox’s Web Developer.  I based the work that I have done off of a CSS that I had found awhile back that I currenlty use on my Online Learning Resources page.  Check out the changes so far here: http://www.mirliss.com/wiki/; it might not look like alot but it took me awhile to figure it all out.  The last thing that I need to do (in addition to adding some content) is create a nice header – almost got it but it is going to take some additional work.  Changes so far… (pic is just a placeholder)

I remember reading somewhere that wikis were ugly and after wresting with the design of my wiki I must agree.  As you can tell by my delicious links I have been on the hunt for a new wiki skin without having to do too much of the programming myself.  Reading through many comments about wiki skins it does not seem to be an easy process to totally redesign a wiki.  There are a few skins on the meta.wikimedia.org but it is not as easy as a wordpress template.  A great discussion of issues can be found at http://shearer.org/Mediawiki - the author explains that not all skins are equal.  There is a link to a tutorial on how to edit the .css file for monobook that I can going to check out.

Tomorrow is the grand opening of the “Art of Second Life” – the first major exhibition by the new Aho Museum Curator, Tayzia Abattoir.  I got a chance to sneak over last night and see the Starax exhibit that occupies its own sim.  Starax is truly talented and it is a great loss that he/she is no longer in SL.  Luckily the artifacts of his existence remain.  Be sure to drop by the NMC Campus and take a look.

Snapshot_433This week and next is the NMC’s Symposium on Impact of Digital Media and the Slatenight team has been asked to participate.  As part of our program Anya (Angela Thomas) will give a talk on identity that will be followed by a fashion show with a twist.  Instead of highlighting the latest fashions we hope to be able to recruit members of the SL community to showcase their unique identities.  I have already approached Aura Lily and Blaze Columbia but don’t be surprised if I call on you!  Just for fun – here I am in my Halloween costume purchased at Material Squirel
