assessment 1 summary - pass pass pass pass pass

So this is my summary of mpi104 so far. The subjects essentially revolves around blogger so far, we put everything on it. My blog currently has 7 posts, this will make 8. Umm I wouldn’t say that any of my posts are actually interesting but here’s some links to prob the most interesting ones. Post about del.icio.us, one on my new photos and then one on the wonders of css . Recently I added a few things to my blog. These included the Sydney Morning Herald RSS feed and the flickr feed which can be seen on the right nav bar. I also changed some background and font colours using the html editor, I’ve talked about this in a previous post. Throughout the weeks I have added tags or labels for each post. This makes searching for them easier. I’ve made comments on other peoples blogs too, I can’t remember who’s so I’ve put a link to the mpi104 subject blog which I’ve commented on. The subject has introduced us to html, we made a pretty basic/quick web page, im sure there’s more to come!

The subject also introduced me to gmail and google documents. I’ve always had a gmail account but didn’t use it much and google docs (using right now!) has become very useful for publishing directly to my blog.

Online storage of photos on flickr is something I knew about but wasn’t all that interested in. Since starting mpi I have uploaded 77 photos, most of which are holiday snaps. I’ve now become flickr friends with people I know, commented on/ labelled too many photos and I have 3 sets of photos. My three favourites are; here, here and probably this one, hard to pick.

Another ‘element’ of mpi is del.icio.us. This allows users to store bookmarks online so access can be made wherever you may be. Pretty handy for travellers and busy people…or students. Saves remembering lots of addresses. I have 46 saved bookmarks, most of which are other peoples blogs and sites I regularly visit. Things like eBay and netbanking etc. my three favesss would be eBay, thepiratebay.org and facebook. These interest me because I get cool stuff on eBay, piratebay gives me all my movies/music/software and facebook has consumed my life.

I think that’s pretty much everything!
