Week 13: Assessment

[What I learnt from this subject]

I think this subject is largely related to internet and how it works.
We learnt about Google, Blogger, Flickr, Delicious, CSS, RSS, FTP and many more that are related on networks and communications of the net. I learnt a lot of great tips that I could always look back and use. Some things I found most useful are RSS feeds and CSS HTML changes. As I only ever do check emails, go on web surfing etc. I discovered that there are heaps of things available on the net that we can learn and that what I used to do on the internet was only like licking a lollipop packet instead of what's inside. You can get so much deeper into it.
First we started off with joining and looking at different features at Google, Blogger, Flickr and Delicious then we got in deeper. I can make lots of changes and get much information as I wanted to.
I probably explored with HTML changes the most to make my blog look prettier. These include changing backgrounds, colours, fonts, changing style of photos such as feather around the edge, changing opacity etc., and even putting the background music on. There are so many HTML tags we can use to create our own cool stuff.
Using iWeb and Fetch program to set up an Athene account was also enjoyable. This was the first time making my own web pages and I thought it was fun creating layouts and putting up photos and links as I wanted it to be. By putting RSS feeds on I can also view what has been updated on the webs I subscribed to and easily access to it.
Overall, I learnt a lot about the networks how they work. I discovered infinite potentials in it.

I finally figured out how to set up the background properly as I wanted.

Before it kept displaying as patterns but now I know the html tag for it 

Muhahahahahaha

Might as well make my own background later.

Week 11: Technorati

What Technorati says about Technorati:
'Technorati is the leading monitor of the world of weblogs. Technorati is a real-time search engine that is the largest source of fresh information about the global and local conversations going on all across the Web. Technorati allows you to find out what people are saying about you, your company, your products, your competitors, your politics and, other areas of interest, on the Internet in real time.'

So it is pretty much a search engine for blogs.
It's different from google in a way that it ranks the blogs and it only deals with blogs which were claimed by people.

It is crap it doesn't work therefore I couldn't do anything about it including putting technorati badge on my blog etc etc..
why is it not claiming..

Week 10_b: RSS

RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication.
It is used to deliver contents of web pages which are constantly updating such as blogs, you tube, facebook etc.

RSS is used to be informed from different web sites at the same time without having to visit each sites one by one and log on every time you visit.

Google Reader gets items in RSS and makes you to read the feeds.

Week 10_a: Counters

Counter is used for counting numbers of access in a web.
So if someone enters my blog, my counter number will increase by one.
And if two people access my blog it will increase by two and so on.
You would use counters for keeping records of average number of accesses for a web for example as well as keeping track of web analysis.
