wk 8 - assessment time

Hi there

well to recap on what i have done over the past couple of months within the MPI104 class.

first off i have made seven posts, Seven! that's right. i am now a blog fanatic and probably my most favourite one would be about HARVEY BIRDMAN! which includes photos and a youtube video XD

i have worked quite extensively for the past couple of weeks tweaking the aesthetics of this blog an finally have been able to change the template entirely to have a superman background, i also changed the fonts and the font colours of various titles.

in terms of comments it doesn't get anymore interesting then "man that's cool" or "dude show me!" but if u really want here's a blog comment i made on tom's blog.

tags! i have used a large number of different tags hoping that it would draw someone other then our class mates to my blog but to no avail. and here they are


mpi 104 (3) blog (2) community (2) photo (2) CSS (1) advantages (1) at (1) attorney (1) birdman (1) change (1) del.icio.us (1) flickr (1) funny (1) graphically (1) harvey (1) hero (1) humour (1) law (1) layout (1) netvouz (1) new (1) picture (1) sharing (1) simpy (1) start (1) stimulating (1) superhero (1) superman (1) tag (1) taggly (1) templates (1)

the numerous different tags i used to try to draw people to my blog.

other then that i have worked extensively on the aesthetic look of my blog, also with helping others improve their blog and trying to make my blog as interesting as possible!

on del.icio.us

i have bookmarked 41 different pages, when im on the net i just love googling and when i found something of interest i just tagged it with del.icio.us. all these links interest me because i find anything of remote interest to fascinate me from the "how to breakdance" vids to the websites with web games on them.

my three favourite links would be Bruce Campbell official website, Harvey Birdman Fansite , How to mail a brick to junk mailers .

these links interest me firstly with Bruce Campbell being the a great (if not BEST) b movie actor in the entire world and he offers film tips and is always willing to help out amateurs and offers to provide a cameo within any project as long as its substantiated, hes an actor that would go above and beyond for his fans.

the harvey birdman fansite generally because i have taken to becoming a fan of the television show harvey birdman: attorney at law which airs on adultswim, it uses a range of different comedies and is just about a cartoon about a once great superhero who is now working in as a lawyer

and the last link speaks for itself, i just love how-to guides and this would probably be the best one of them all. how to mail a brick to junk mailers.

and finally onto my flickr account, i have about 27 pictures uploaded but intend to upload alot more tonight my brother and i posing , my favourite VPA 104 assignment photo, and a lovely picture of the ever charming mr chris kiss , a friend of mine who i gave a haircut on the worlds shave for a cure day

enjoy yourself

Enjoy yourself!

SUPERMAN!!

ALAS!!!

finally i have figured out how to change the layout of the template to include a background it took way too long to figure it out, and it was well worth the effort. i hope everyone enjoys the aesthetic changes i have made to this blog!

enjoy yourself!

templates

alot can be changed from the template option the font sizes, colours, the font itself, size of font, background of the blog, add photos, change the font and size of the headings and change the colour to practically everything on the blog itself.


i changed the font size, font colour, an font used and also changed some headings.

however you can change the content of what was already typed up, you can change everything else in terms of "graphically stimulating" the eyes though

CSS

CSS stands for "custom style sheets" or "cascading style sheets" basically, CSS is a stylesheet language used to describe the template or the presentation of a document. With a CSS file it practically contains layout, font, colours, positioning and presentation information for a web site.

The advantages of CSS is that you can use it to easily make changes to the layout of an entire website by simply adjusting the coding, the file size of the html site is reduced thus making it easier and faster to download and for others to view the site, CSS also allows for the website to have more hits and pop up more often in search engines, also allowing accessibility to visually impaired people by allowing the html web page to be modified or to view only the content of the page which allows for the information to be easier interpreted, and finally allows consistency of layout and position throughout the website.

del.icio.us

del.icio.us, its an interesting concept a community based system where you share websites that you yourself find interesting or quirky or are your favourites but here it is

my del.icio.us account.

enjoy yourself

and heres three different links to webpages that use the same concept as del.icio.us

simpy

taggly

netvouz
