=Thing 9 (Week 4): Play in the Sandbox!=

The best way to gain experience working in a wiki is to... um... work in a wiki.

So, for **Thing 9**, your **Discovery Exercise** = your **Task**!

Most wikis have a special page called a //sandbox//. The sandbox is a designated area where new users can "play around" with wiki formatting, features and editing.

For this "Thing," we have a whole wiki site to use as our sandbox! (Instead of each making our own wiki, we're all going to play in the same one).

To get started on your **Thing 9** task, visit our wiki sandbox and **read the instructions** on the front page. All the info you need to sign up and get to "wiki-ing" is included on the sandbox site.


 * P. S. There is no required blog post to accompany Thing 9**, but feel free to share a link to your wiki page in your blog, and talk about your wiki sandbox experience if you like.
