Summary

Over the last seven weeks I have become familiar with sites such a s Blogger. Del.icio.us and Flickr, developing an online presence as well as a greater awareness of what I can do on the internet.

So far on blogger, I have made a total of seven posts, one for each week – keeping up with work. I have covered my thoughts on HTML and CSS as well as flickr and Del.icio.us.

I altered the look of my blog by choosing a preset template to work around, available on blogger. To customise this template to my liking, I selected the “edit HTML” option, where I used CSS to:

- Change my background image by using the body { background-image: url( I found a picture of a petrochemical refinery from Google images and pasted the url inside these brackets ) tag

- Then straight after set the background properties to FIXED do it didn’t scroll with the page and create a confusing mess using the ; background-attachment: fixed; tag

- Set the body of the blog to show semi-transparent black posts using the background-color:#FFFFFF; filter:alpha(opacity=70); tag

I then used the template to change the font, colour of my text, titles and borders because the style sheet got too confusing for my tiny mind.

Apart from work, I have used blogger to
comment on friends posts

On Delicious I have 29 saved sights, my favourites being
imageshack because it’s a great, accountless image hosting page
and

espew because of the free music downloads

I have also been updating a few photos onto Flickr, not my own because i don't have a camera, but some interesting things from the net. Oh and i also joined some sort of club about cats yawning... it's strangley addictive.
