6. 6 PbWiki Pros Easy to add URL to images (something difficult to do in Google Sites)

7. 7 PbWiki Cons  Limited amount of changes to the style or “look” without payment.  Only 5 styles or “looks”.  Navigation has to be on the right side for now and possibly forever.  Cannot get the iFusions logo to the banner area. Will have to remain and be added to each page. This can be done by creating a template that will serve as the “starter” for each wiki page.  No Discussion forum comes with free package – will have to add this
