#17 Building sandcastles in the PBwiki sandbox

1. Logged in to PBwiki and added favourite movies http://acllearn.pbwiki.com/Favourite%20Movies
and music
http://acllearn.pbwiki.com/Favourite+Music

For the music titles I also included a direct link to their entries in our library catalogue.

2. At first I accidentally created new pages (only me top movies & only me top movies) instead of adding to the existing favourite pages. I struggled to delete these pages. When I entered edit mode, I could delete the content but not the page itself. Finally, I discovered a live grey link in the Page Information section that allowed me to delete the pages (after making sure I really wanted to): "Really? This will irretrievably delete this page and its revisions.
YES, REALLY." I was touched by the wiki's concern that I might accidentally consign valuable data to oblivion.

It's fun to add favourites. But to be honest, for movies I'll still continue to use aggregated sites like metacritic.com and rottentomatoes.com.
