Present Past and Future.

Phewwww the MRA essay is done with! Handed it in .. hope i do alright.. was a essay on spectacle so it was a bit interesting. Other than that it going to be a pretty average week. Even tho it's week 11 exams aren't too far away i can already smell them! can't forget the NMP quiz :S i'll have to study for that. i already feel like i am learing a lot of new things. I thought i knew alot about the web and its content..... horribly mistaken :S

HTML. Max's lecture

The only time that i had used HTML before was in year 11 to make a very basic web page. HTML is the most popular language system to create quick and efficient websites. Max's opinion is that is quick and simple to learn and become good at using it in the long term. The code (language) that it uses presents itself as straight forward. In the tutorial during the creation of the icecream website it became obvious that CSS made creating a good page really helpfull. The CSS in combination with HTML work well to make a "short-cut effect" also makes positiong easier. Can't imagine building a site without one. Like the times where tables were used to organise data. Other markup languages like XML and XHTML have their positives but requier more knowledge on the system used. Thats why i thought it would be sensible for a beginner to begin with HTML and learn from there.

Back from Break

Break is over. Could hardly call it a break with the amount of work having to be completed during this "break". Still was good to tone it down a little... sleep in a bit. Too bad as some of my friends weren't on a break since they go to different universities.. had to tease them about that :p , i'm sure that they will to the same when they are on their break. So now it's back to work yay! -.-

Project A

I have decided that i will be using Picasa web albums to create my online exhibition. I chose to make a collection of things created in flash. I had other choices in mind for which site i should use but i ended up with Picasa. Flickr and Tate looked fine but i wanted to try Picasa out. The handy thing about using Picasa is that it is all in the same Google package. My Google login includes: my blog, my Rss reader and now my gallery. This made it easy to navigate around my work. Also having the program Picasa 2 helped with uploading the photos. I will email you all the think to my exhibition.
