Assessment 2 for MPI 104

For this asessment task i was required to create a website using iWeb and upload it onto the CSU webspace using the program "fetch", then experiment with templates fonts and colours. have some working links to my Flickr, Blog and Del.icio.us and also include an RSS feed subscription to my blog.


I created a website that is a mock of/tribute website to the band 'GREEN DAY'. I experimented with fonts, colours and templates as well including pictures which i changed the sizes of. I did include a webpage counter however it has not worked. I have included links to my flickr, delicious and blog. I did not include an RSS feed.


As far as i know i have stuck to the requirements except for an RSS feed.

Using Iweb

For my second assessment task for MPI 104 i have to create a web page.. COOL..
I have to make this website using IWeb.

iWeb allows users to create and design websites and blogs without coding, and can be easily created using templates with coordinated fonts and colors. the pages can be fully customised.

IWeb also has widgets to make them more interesting, adding features like a countdown,you tube videos and flash games..

Assessment 1 Blog

To complete this assessment i had to create a google identity and set up a gmail account. I also had to set up and maintain a blog, on blogspot.com, a del.icio.us account and a flickr account to demonstrate an understanding of online communication and collaboration.

Using Blogger

Blogger is a web-based tool that helps you publish to the web instantly. It's the leading tool in the rapidly growing area of web publishing known as weblogs, or "blogs."

Blogger lets you complete the blog publishing process without writing any code or worrying about installing any sort of server software or scripts. Blogger also gives you total control of the look of your blog, being able to customise using templates, colour and fonts.

While completing this assignment I tried to do almost everything possible on blogger. I experimented with templates, fonts and colours changing all of these multiple times until i found a look i was happy with. I have also added gadgets onto my blog including fish, Flickr Photostream and a home tab.

My blog had no apparent theme, i just spoke what was o my mind or a hot topic of the day. I often tried to make my blog posts interactive, asking viewers what they thought or to add their favourite you tube clip. I have made a total of 10 posts. My favourite blogs being:

God bless you tube

GOD BLESS YOUTUBE!!!

i found this band one day when wasting time on YouTube, and since then, i have listened to pretty much all their work and downloaded some of their songs. i think their acoustic covers are awesome and i think some of the songs they pick are interesting.

The Band's name is Boyce Avenue, follow a link to some of their covers and tell me what you think.

Boyce Avenue- Adele cover

Boyce Avenue- Tonic cover

Boyce Avenue- Sean Kingston cover

holidays have ended.. BUMMER!

my short two week "non contact period", more commonly known as holidays has sadly come to an end.
now i must get back into my intense level of study to complete my uni degree!

most people will agree that there are many distractions from studying, check out my "funniest Video ever" in the links bar. you'll be stuck on you tube for ages afterwards and you'll find nothing you set out to do that day was completed.

also check out my "grooveshark" link. this website will allow you to search for and listen to almost any track ever written, FOR FREE!

anyway i hope this post was half entertaining or distracting for your study!

Catchya next time
