Heart attacks.

Jesus Christ, Blogger just scared me.

My blog was deleted from Blogger, and all activity was suspended. It hated me with a passion.

All fixed, though. Huzzah, I'm a genius.

Assessment 1 Blog Post

Here we are, at assessment #1.

During these past six weeks, I've done a fair bit in the way of aesthetics for this blog. I changed the colour schemes, fonts, design and layout of the page significantly. I am also in the process of making a new logo. I think the colours match quite well, in terms of orange on grey, giving it a look that is easy on the eyes.
In terms of gadgets, I added a flickr photostream, and the “more links” box. Nothing major. This post here will make six posts total, but I’m going to start increasing that anyway as part of a makeshift portfolio.
I have two non-class related posts here, one has an amazing piece of music, the other rants about how I hate blogger.

Oh Snap!
Wow.

I’ve used some basic tags/labels in my posts, such as mpi104_2011, flickr, delicious, and procrastination.
I’ve made a couple of blog comments on other people’s sites:

First post
Second post

I have a total of six bookmarked pages on Delicious. These follow gaming, mostly. A gaming news page, and a gaming comic.

LoL News
Awkward Zombie Comic
Totally my favourite master blog

Finally, I have my Flickr account. On it, I’ve uploaded a total of five photos, all from assessments or for other people’s assessments. They can all be found here in this set:

My photo stream!

I know I was supposed to link to three, but I can't choose three out of them. I like all my works.

Apart from that, there’s not really much to say. It’s been a good learning experience, and I can’t wait to get into making a website more thoroughly.

Wow.

So, Blogger's amazing at a few things:

-Erroring
-Deleting my posts
-Hating me

I had a whole sleepless rant typed up, but nooooo. Now you get a list of hates. I'll update in a little while.

Delicious.

And now we've made a delicious account.

My God, it's exactly like my browser.

Huzzah. How lame.

A new Flickr experience.

So, I've had to make a new Flickr account just for this class. "It's cool, even though I haven't used it much yet" was suggested as a blog post.

I've had an account for several years. Derp. Flickr's amazing, but I already knew that.

Here's a link to my first post up on the new Flickr account.

Oh snap

So, I've spent a large portion of this week looking for a specific piece of code to make my blog amazing.

Unfortunately, that hasn't been easy to find. By next week's class, I hope to have this thing looking sexy.

Also, embedding is fun:



Hania Lee deserves more publicity.
