• The work you have done on the aesthetic look of your blog (templates, colour, fonts)

I added gadgets to the left hand side and bottom of my blog, these included things about me, my flickr photos, my friends blogs, the daily puppy and a calendar. I used the ethereal template and customised it to suit me. I used an abstract image for my background because I really abstract patterns. I also used a picture off the internet to use as my heading background because I think it matched my background image I also really liked the colours in it. I used greens as my theme colours because it’s my favourite colour. I used fonts like cherry cream soda, kranky, chewy and coming soon because I liked the casual feel they have.

• Comments that you have made to other blogs – with links to the more interesting comments

I only commented on one Blog and that was Kate Bishops and for some reason its saying that her blog has been removed so I can’t include a link to that comment anymore.

• Other work that you have done in Blogger

I added lots of extra gadgets to my blog. I tried to fill my blogs with some fun stuff as well as some things to do with myself and my course (graphic design)

Del.icio.us

• The number of bookmarked web pages

I have 13 web pages bookmarked on delicious.

• Why these are of interest to you

The web sites that I bookmarked are of interest to me because they are to do with my mpi104 subject (flickr, blogger, friend’s blogs, masterblog), they are art sites that I look at for inspiration for my course, and sites that have been recommended by my graphics lecturer and a few fun ones that are good time killers.

Jane Davenport - Artomology

Nazario Graziano | Studio

Courtney Brims - Brisbane Artist

Just a bit of an insight to the type of art I like. Most of its fairly random. I wouldn't say that there is any particular style of work that i like. I tend to just look at something and say "yep, i like that."

Thanks Blogger

So thanks to the Daily Puppy Gadget on here i now want a siberian husky: one more dog to add to the list.....

Today i tried to get some work done....

instead i find myself looking up weird and pointless facts.
Todays Fun Fact is:

Unusual and unusually named, employment positions available.
* Armpit Sniffer - checks how well deodorants work.

* Carroter – conditions fur for use in hat manufacture.

* Chicken Sexer - determines the sex of newly hatched chicks.

* Gambreler – hangs animal carcasses on hooks before the butchering process.

* Getterer – applies solution to wires in lamp manufacture.

* Lag Screwer – inserts the bolts in table legs.

* Nut Steamer – immerses almonds, pecans, and other nuts in hot water in order to soften their shells.

* Snailer – operates a machine which polishes and inscribes clocks and watches.

* Sulky Driver – drives a two-wheeled, horse-drawn carriages in races

* Wrinkle Chaser – remove the defects from new shoes.

So much for getting some work done.....

Delicious

Delicious is a good site to share all different types of websites with other people. It is also good to see what the most popular sites are. It is also good to see recommended sites from friends.

Flickr

Flickr is fun. I like being able to search a variety of pictures and also being able to share my own. I like that i can easily see what other people are interested in.
