What I Have Learnt!

Oh my!
What have i learnt?!
Well a lot i must admit.
Every site we interacted with was a new experience to me, including Blogger, Flickr, Delicious, Technorati... Although i did know about Gmail, i mean it is the best email service around. I also learnt how to use new programs such as Fetch and iWeb and combined these to create my website.

At the beginning i had no idea how to customise my Blogger, now i have created a blog that is completely my own. I have changed the background to a photo by Greg Martin. The post backgrounds have been changed to a grunge picture while the sidebar was changed to a plain black background. I have changed the fonts and their colours. I added some fancy green fishes up the top as well as various RSS feeds. These feeds include the MPI104 blog, my Delicious account, a gaming channel from Technorati, Doghouse comics and Geekologie. So you know, just a couple. A counter can also be found under the Blog Title. All this was learnt over weeks from my lecturer Damien and also researching on the internet.
I have learnt how to use Flickr and found how it would be useful to people such as myself when trying to get certain artworks noticed.
Delicious has been helpful in that i can have all my bookmarks with me at any computer, its especially good when you can't remember the bloody website address your looking for.
When using iWeb to create my website i found it fairly easy to do the basics, it was when i had to add the RSS feed and the counter i did have a little trouble but i quickly managed to work it out. The program does have a lot of limitations but i was glad we used it and saw what it could over. Fetch at first made me nervous but then i realised how easy it was to add files and whatnot so that was good. Its extremely handy going to class to see how to do things, haha.
This course was pretty fun, i really enjoyed it and did learn a fair lot. Thanks Damien.
