ABSTRACT

Many of the technologies and techniques introduced so far are fundamental to so-called Web 2.0 tools. What is important, however, is that over the past fi ve years or so, new ways of publishing information online have appeared that greatly simplify the process of getting content onto your site. This chapter will move from relatively quick and easy techniques, such as working with blogging software, through intermediate mashups such as Google’s many and varied application programming interfaces (APIs) before concentrating in some detail on using MediaWiki, the content management software that runs Wikipedia among other things.
