Over the duration of this coarse I have established and maintained a blog, a website, a flickr and delicious account.
Blogger
- My Blog consists of 25 mostly interesting posts
- Since last time i have updated the template using different fonts and colours
- I have a live feed to my flickr account which displays my 5 most recently uploaded photos at the bottom of the page. Also down there is a link to my delicious and website
- I have a blog feed to youtube and the master blog and RSS to my starred items.
-There is also a counter, and some how Im up to 300!
What i have learnt
- I now know why blogger is so popular. It seems to be the roundabout to online media especially individuals and businesses promoting there products and services. It is simple to use and is a highly effective communication tool.
Flickr
- I have uploaded 32 photos to flickr under the mpi set. Most of which are original, I have acknowledged those that are not.
- Most have tags and descriptions.
- I have continued to comment on others photos.
What i have learnt
- Flickr can be an extremely valuable tool, especially for aspiring photographers. Even one of my photos (photographer was one of my friends) was requested to be added to a group by an anonymous person. This one!
Delicious
- I have progressively saved links to my account to the stage where i now have 14! :)
- I have saved my own blog, my website and a class members blog.
What i have learnt
- It is very easy to save links to the top tool bar of most browsers these days, so to have to go to Delicious, sign in and go to your link seems a bit harder.
-Though if you saved hundreds of links it would be good and then to be able to put them into sets and stuff seems handy.
- I don't think I yet understand the full capability that delicious has to offer.
Website
- I wanted to focus on something different for my website… MUSIC, and in particular my favourite band the Clash. It consists of 4 pages, videos, songs, pictures, a counter and an RSS feed to my blog.
What I leant
- The Website Assessment was the most valuable to me, learning about FTP and website publishing was something that I wanted to learn prior to this assigment. And although made easy with tools such as iweb and fetch I enjoyed to the simplicity of the process which is something I didn't expect at all when publishing your own website. :)
