Technorati

Today we looked at Technorati. It was such a frustrating process for just about everyone in the class. We weren't able to claim our accounts. 

Technorati is a blog digest. It searches all blogs and reads all of the HTML code in a blog posting. Here is a link to Lucia's blog to give her authority. 

Here is what Technorati says about Technorati:

Technorati is the leading monitor of the world of weblogs. Technorati is a real-time search engine that is the largest source of fresh information about the global and local conversations going on all across the Web. Technorati allows you to find out what people are saying about you, your company, your products, your competitors, your politics and, other areas of interest, on the Internet in real time.

RSS

Here is a link to my updated  iweb   athene account, I added a counter and an RSS feed. 

I also added these on my blog. 

Random's Myspace

Finally remembered what my log in for flikr was....if your reading this you will probably be hanging your head in shame...I know, I should have these things locked into my brain by now, well you would think so, but sadly no, I dont=(

Frusteration

Why did i have to make soooo many accounts???? They all have different log in details.....some only differ slightly, but which one is which???? Which password, how did I put my user name down?.....kayla.outhred? kouthred? kouthr01? It spells frusteration just about every time!!!

FTP and Athene

Today we learnt about how to change our athene accounts using Fetch.
You can make a web page in word and save it out as a html extention, this can then be dragged into to fetch data base which makes it public.
Here is a link to my iWeb site.

Templates

The advantages of using templates is that you can fairly easily change the appearance of your page to suit you. The layout of your blog can be changed, along with the background and the font styles and colours. The content cannot be changed using templates. Accessibility in a webpage is important as it means it easy for the majority of users to interact with site.
