I mentioned last week that I would do this…erm, last week 😉 But anyway I’m getting around to it today. Snipsnap has made it incredibly easy to get a weblog/wiki hybrid running on your own machine. Simply go to their site and click on the java webstart link in the upper right hand corner, execute the file, answer some simple questions, and viola, you’ve got a wiki running on your local machine.

Mind that you’ll need the appropriate version of java for your platform installed, and you should also be mindful of your network and the implications of installing a webserver on it. If you’re at work and reading this, it’s highly likely you shouldn’t do this.

Others, have fun. Snipsnap has its quirks but is a great way to get introduced to how wikis work.
