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
