I can't do my project on wikis without checking out WikiLeaks. It was really interesting to see their guidelines about submitting a post. There are 3 steps to submitting a post (with 0.1-0.4 steps in between). Because of the incriminating nature of the submissions, WikiLeaks goes through lengths to make sure your submissions are anonymous. Also, your submission must censored or restricted material--not rumor. The submissions are assessed by "journalists" to make sure the post meets the criterion. At the moment they are not accepting any new submissions because they are "re-engineering" the site to make it more secure and user friendly. Additionally, the site as a tab to donate (I am sure those lawyer-fees aren't cheap..), calling it the WikiLeaks Defense Fund. Because of the controversial nature of the site it has set up "mirror" sites as well, "In order to make it impossible to ever remove WikiLeaks from the internet.."
[Side note: I am not very technologically literate and am having trouble taking screen shots. It only lets me essentially copy and paste into a word document but I need to be able to post them on the blog. I have a PC. Help please..]
If you have a pc there should be a printscreen button on the upper right of your key board. You can then paste the image into whatever editing software you use/where ever you want to store it. You can also download a program that will allow you to take snap shots of what ever you want by dragging a box around the stuff you want to jpeg (If you don't want the entire window). I forget what it's called but it should be easy to find if you just google "screenshot with a pc".
ReplyDeleteI can't paste the image into the blog so I'll try to download the program. Thanks Michael!
