The
experience of communicating the How to Make a No‐Added‐Sugar, No‐Bake Berry Pie wiki came from multiple sources. The main source of
information used in creating this wiki was personal experience. Cutting
sugar out of a diet can be difficult when a sweet tooth is persistent. The benefits of cutting sugar are many.
Cutting sugar can cause better sleep patterns, weight loss, clearer skin,
increase in energy, and a happier mood.
The three recipes created for this wiki taste sweet yet have zero added
sugars. This is perfect for anyone trying to fit into a dress or outfit
in a compromised amount of time.
Learning about health and diet in school and from personal trainers gave
all the knowledge necessary for this project. Once someone tries cutting
sugar, they will see that it is easier than expected with these zero added
sugar desserts that still satisfy cravings.
Every time someone makes these recipes, they will learn what to add or
take away so it suits their taste. There are always substitutes in case a
person does not like a certain ingredient which is listed in the “Tips” section
of the wiki. Personal experience is the
source of all of the information in this wiki.
Creating the photos for this wiki is also credited to personal
experience. The general information about wiki layout was taken from
looking at multiple wikis. Checking out
multiple published wikis led to a general knowledge as to how to create a wiki
that would also be published. When
creating the photos for this project, each recipe was made with the help of a
friend so that the photos could be taken more easily. Managing this
project was kind of difficult since a friend’s younger siblings wanted to help
but they were too young. The ease with
this project came with already having made these desserts before so there were
no surprises. Learning how to edit those
photos was a new experience. Photoshop
is a very useful tool when creating a better highlighted and overall edited
photo. Photoshop allows people to see their original photo versus their
new edited one to see if they overdid the editing. Keeping all of these photos in a folder on a
flashdrive made transporting and working on these photos in different locations
simple. After figuring out exactly how
the photos should look, they were to be coded into the wiki. Coding was a new, confusing experience.
Pasting the No Bake Cookie code into a word document and changing things
to fit the wiki created for this project was like playing operation. Every single space, and character changed
something. It felt like dodging lasers
trying to get the code just right. Each
time an image was to be put in a spot, exactly that image name had to be typed
correctly in the right spot. Once the
code was pasted into wikiHow and the preview was shown, something was clearly
not right. The wiki page created had each photo repeated when it should
not have been. This meant going back
into the code and figuring out where it all went wrong. Somehow each image was placed in there twice
so deleting one of the image codes solved this problem quickly. There was also an issue in trying to get rid
of the spaces and bullet points in this wiki preview. The only way to solve this was to go back and
compare the new coded wiki to the original.
Come to find out, extra spaces and pound symbols threw the whole page
off. After correcting those mistakes, the wiki looked just as
planned. Hitting publish was a nerve
racking moment but not as bad as the intense sweating that started when
receiving an email from the wikiHow admins.
Anna, the admin, said that she had to cut two of the three recipes out
and was only going to publish the page with one recipe. Anna emailed an option to cut things out and
when allowing her permission to do so, she published the wiki with the no-bake
berry pie recipe and photos. This was
frustrating because of how much time was spent cooking and coding. All of
the time spent on this project to only have one third of the project posted
seemed like a huge waste but after finding that some wikis do not get posted at
all, it no longer seemed so bad. When
looking over the published wiki, it was clear that breaking the original wiki
down was the best call for clarity reasons.
There is no second reference for this wiki page
as the information came from personal experience.
All photos were created by this wiki’s author.
