makeover time at chester.website (or the wiki striving not to be a wiki?)

Back from my extended break, though never entirely a holiday, I’ve been fiddling with this and that – and have finally got round to reacquainting myself with the project I started at the end of January 2015: chester.website. You can find a screenshot below of the homepage as it stands at the time of writing, using a new template called Writr (actually a recent port … Continue reading makeover time at chester.website (or the wiki striving not to be a wiki?)

Red link (I) There are two ways of creating new pages in DokuWiki wiki installations.  One, which I prefer, at least for new users because it’s so easy to communicate, involves searching via the Search box (usually situated in the top right-hand corner of any existing page) for the new page-name in order to check it doesn’t already exist.
