Website - 'Urban Beatz' Assignment #2

Assessment #3

Wow, so I’ve learned a fair bit over the past 11 lessons of MPI104. The first lesson must’ve been on Blogger. I’m starting to enjoy Blogger a little bit and haven’t minded getting on and posting lately. It’s so easy. Flickr is the next on the list and I’m starting to like it a lot too. It’s also really easy to work with and its amazing to look at everyone else’s favourite photos. I wasn’t a big fan of delicious at first. I did find it easy to use but I couldn’t really see the point as im not real big on bookmarking my favourite sites because if thy’re my favourite then I know them anyway. However, ive come to like it as its a good way of looking at what other people like. HTML’s were a struggle at first when it came to remembering codes but I definitely think that ive got posting links to the masterblog sorted. Still a bit surprised at how easy it is to make a real simple website just through notepad or textedit. CSS is good for making it easy to make all parts that are the same, the same style eg. Heading or paragraph. I like playing around with iweb and actually enjoyed assignment 2 because of it. Its so easy to use with its ready made templates that just have to be customised. File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a standard network protocol used to copy a file from one host to another over a TCP/IP-based network, such as the Internet. And finally there was RSS (Really Simple Syndication) - the new way of bookmarking a website. But better. It allows you to get up to date information sent to you to read when you want to. It is often described as a ‘news feed’ that you subscribe to.
Overall, I have really enjoyed this class. It was actually a joy to attend unlike some of the other stressful classes I have....

Week 11 - RSS

RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is the new way of bookmarking a website. but better. with bookmarking you can miss information if you dont check the bookmark and  can get complicated with many websites. RSS is better because it allows you to get up to date information sent to you to read when you want to. It is often described as a ‘news feed’ that you subscribe to.
