10. What's an RSS feed? RSS is a method for subscribing to changes made on your wiki so you can see what has changed more easily. Most web browsers include RSS readers, and generally show a feed icon somewhere near the address bar (the icon is orange in most browsers, but it's blue in Safari.) When you click this icon, you'll see a list of available feeds. For more information, click RRS feed on the Settings page.

11. Template You can create a template page for students. Create the page information and tag the page template (note the lower case!) When you go back to Create a Page, scroll down beyond the pbwiki templates to select the radio button beside your template.
