- 6. Response to Chapter Questions 1. Construct both a blog and a wiki. You will need to research how to do each, and then post meaningful content. Maintain each for one month (longer, if you prefer), and then report back to the class with your results. I have a blog and a wiki that I have kept up since January. I had no idea how to do a wiki or a blog, but it was easy to sign up and begin. I also like how easy it is to edit or to add new.
