CSS is what drives the design and layout of most websites on the world wide web today.

Tag clouds are great visual tools that can give your users the big picture on what your site is all about. It’s like a visual sitemap that magnifies the tags that are used most often in your wikispace, and also includes in smaller font size the tags used less often. People can then get a sense for what is one of the most important topics or keywords in your wikispace.
A sitemap can be a very useful tool for your wikispace users. As your wikispace grows with more and more pages being added, pages can be lost with the flood of information being added. Creating a sitemap with page includes in your wikispace will display a list of pages sorted alphabetically. This will make it easy for your users to quickly find the page that they might be looking for in your wikispace.
Page includes are a great feature to use in your wikispace. With just one line of wikitext, you can include entire pages, a list of pages, a tag cloud, a discussion page, and more. Adding a page include will save you from having to copy an entire page’s content and pasting it into your wikispace. This tutorial shows you how to use page includes to include a page from another wikispace into your wikispace.
