Week 16

Today Margie showed us how to add audio files and how to set up a site map for our website. I also added a photo of myself so now I am pretty much finished.

Week 15

Today we added youtube to our frontpage. I added three of them, each for the different species of sharks I have included on my Frontpage website.

Week 14

Today we continued on with Frontpage. I've almost finished putting all the content on my pages but I still need to add a site map, a youtube, a picture of myself and an audio file.

Week 13

Today we continued on with our Frontpage website. I started adding some pictures and Margie also showed us how to add navigation links to our pages. I think it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

Week 12

We continued work on our Frontpage website. We started to make our sites pretty, by putting a theme and template on our sites. Margie also showed us how to arrange our information by creating tables which will make it easier for us to manipulate and make the site look neater.

Week 11

Today we started working on our Frontpage website. This is for Comp Task 3 which is the final competency task for Create Web Pages. Frontpage seems a lot more involved and trickier than the blog and Google sites but it should be interesting. My Frontpage website will be about sharks.

Week 10

Back at school but now in a new room. Margie went over OHS issues of being in a teeny tiny room and the security issues with being in a more populated area of the campus.

Week 9

I didn't go to class today because I had already finished Comp Task 2 and didn't need any further instructions about completing my Google Site.

Week 8

Today we just continued on with our Google Site and Margie showed us how to insert a Google Calendar to our site. I've almost finished my site, I just have two more pages to complete.

Week 7

Today we started on Comp Task 2. We have to create a small website using the Google Sites software which will then lead into the final Comp Task where we have to make a large website on a topic of our choice. I don't really like the Google Sites software, I find it a bit disorganized and all the layouts are gross looking.

loc twitter page

I find it so funny that the Library of Congress has a twitter page! And not just that but have a look at this tweet they posted back in April:

How would that even work? And why bother?

Brimbank libraries facebook

I didn't expect my local library to have a facebook page considering their website is kind of dull, but they do! It's actually updated regularly as well.

Comments

Here are comments I've made:

on ida's blog
on christina's blog
on imelda's blog

Now I just need some more comments on my blog...pretty please!

Week 6

I didn't go to class today because I felt that I could finish off my blog without any worries, now I just need to find a library related Twitter page and Facebook page. This may be a tad bit more difficult than it sounds since I don't use either of those websites!

Otters holding hands!

Awww so cute!

here's a direct link to view this video on youtube

Milo again

Here's a new picture of Milo relaxing in the bathroom sink.

Week 5

Today we talked about how we can get people to find our blog, how to embed a youtube video to our blogs and then Margie talked about the various social networking sites including facebook and twitter, and the differences between them.

Library related blog

Here is a library blog I quite like. The blog is called "Librarian's matter" and it's very informative on not just library issues but also on general web-based issues that I find quite helpful. Unfortunately, the layout is a bit too cluttered for my taste and as a new blogger user I find it a bit difficult to navigate at times. But there is still lots of interesting info there!

My cats!

Cats are my favourite animal and  I have two of them so I guess I would consider these pictures as my favourite. I'll also include some random info about them just for fun. :)

In his favourite place: the sink!

This is Milo. (He is so hard to photograph, he usually just looks like a big black blob!)

He is around 2 and-a-half years old and he's kind of a strange kitty cat.

Milo enjoys fetching straws, lying in bathtubs and sinks (especially while I'm straightening my hair), carrying wash cloths in his mouth (he will also fetch them if they are thrown at him), and eating vegetables.

When Ollie was a kitten

This is Ollie.

He is around 1 and-a-half.

Ollie likes to crawl under bed blankets and sleep there all day. I will regularly find an Ollie shaped lump in my bed and when I take a peek under the blanket he simply turns and meows at me then goes straight back to sleep. When Ollie isn't sleeping he likes to stare out windows and spy on people walking past.

Ollie says "Goodnight"

Week 4

I didn't make it to class this week. It looks like I missed out on adding pictures and videos to my blog but I shouldn't have too much trouble adding them on my own.

Week 3

In week 3 of our class we started talking about labels and gadgets. I had already started putting labels on my posts and had already put a couple of gadgets on my blog (including the cute fish one at the top of the page!), so I just started following some class members blogs and accidentally started followed my own blog. Whoops!

Towards the end of the class we were shown how to add links to our posts.

Week 2

In week 2 of our class we set up our blog on the blogger website! I spent most of my time fiddling around with my background because I couldn't get it to do what I wanted.

Week 1

In week 1 of our Create Web Pages class we were taught about the basics of blogging and Margie showed us the blog that she has created for the class.

First post!

 Welcome to my blog. This seems like it will be fun!
