Week 7 Review

Blogger
I have made seven posts including this one on my blog detailing the material that has been presented and examined in class. I found some of these topics to be quite interesting, in particular flickr and delicious and CSS. I found these topics to be particularly interesting. It seemed to be the start of actually uploading pictures, saving URL's of interest and being able to manipulate the way a page looked.

Whilst i only worked on the basic aesthetic's of my blog, I feel that it was sufficent to make the blog easier to navigate and installed some of my own interestingness to the blog. Using CSS i made some colour changes to main background, blog title and description and link hover. I also edited over all size and colour of the header and header description font. Personalized slide show and some of my own pictures were added. I have also added some gadgets to my blog, but only those that i consider to have added to the aesthetics of my page.

I have used many different tags. These include CSS, MPI104, Templates, bookmarks, delicious, photography, del.icio.us, delicious, Flickr, Blogger, HTML, Google, . I have tried to use multiple tags on each post so as to expand the possiblity of another blogger conecting with or reading my blog on a particular subject.

I have made comments on the following blogs Day in the Life of Ally, Amanda , Wes and Emma .

Delicious
I have book marked 28 web pages and blogs from fellow bloggers in MPI104. I have marked these as they are topics and sites that are of interest to me. I am a keen outdoor enthusiast, photographer and skier. I enjoy the outdoor and the lifestyle that it bring with it. I feel healthier than being couped up all day in front of a computer. I do enjoy and see the positive benefits of computing, in particular the internet. Three pages that I bookmarked and interest me are backcountry.com , perisher ski resort and ansell adams gallery .

Flickr
After starting to use Flickr it was clear that it was quite a useful site to share images and store them for free!! I uploaded 40 images and will continue to use this site after the completion of this subject. It is also a good way of have stored images so as to be able to use them in other applications when away from your home computer. The three images that i find to be favourites are ones that hold meaning to me.

The day i was lost in Niseko Japan skiing and ran into about ten other japanese telemark skiiers. Best skiing ever, waist deep all day!!

South coast of NSW near Meribula at a place call The Pinnacles. It is just a different and contrasting landscape to the rest of the wilderness there.

Skiing in New Zealand on Whakappa. Found this little ice flow that covered a cave. It was an awesome day with great friends out and about!!
