Assessment #3 Blog Post.

I was going to write this whole interesting ramble for Matt to read here, just so it made his job a little less boring when it came to marking. Then I realised I can’t make this any less boring, really.

Blogger-
I tend to find blogs quite clunky and unintuitive to be honest, but oh well. I added a couple of feeds on the side of my blog page, my flickr feed and counters on the other side, the usual. Oh, and the page layout is designed to match my website perfectly, so that it looks amazing when viewed there. I’ve made a total of 17 posts. Didn’t really learn a whole lot, because I’ve had several blogs before and I’m very tech savvy already. Still, nice to have a refresher.

Flickr-
Flickr’s always useful. I have one outside of this assessment as well and I love it. It’s an easy way to share your images, or just back them up for safekeeping. Can’t say I’ve done much here, because Flickr’s not exactly customisable. I’ve added 16 images to my Flickr.

Delicious-
Wow, this is outdated tech in my opinion. My browser integrates rss feeds and bookmarks directly into the sidebar, eliminating the need to even open tabs for my favourite feeds and sites. I have tried to use it, and I can use it, I just really DON’T want to. I’ve got 12 whole bookmarks in there, but really that’s just for the sake of assessment. All I’ve really learned is that it’s not a useful website to me.

HTML/Webspace-
Useful as a refresher for HTML and CSS scripting, but yeah. I already did all of this stuff years back. iWeb is quite possibly the worst program for making websites, thanks to its inability to let you modify most aspects of it. But, I will admit, it makes life easy for those who just want to make a quick website for their friends and family. As I said before, I relearned some of the stuff I already knew about HTML and CSS, so overall not a total waste.


Still, it’s been fun. Thanks Matt.
