Blogs of my years: 2013

This is a post dedicated for my English blogspot homework, Thanks!

I chose the background as it resembles a kitchen, which is the setting of my story. Also, the pictures inside corresponds to my humorous theme, which is to basically educate the correct method of eating the common breakfast staple food cereal.
I made use of the characters in the strip to illustrate how the complication of the simple conflict led to a humorous and unprecedented ending.

Once again, THANKS!

HTML reflections

Last but not least, the final component of my homework will be the most decisive point in achieving A1, and that will be the incredibly simple task of including 10 facts that I have learnt about HTML during my IT lessons. Thus, I deliberately decided to include 10 points which I feel are important to me.

1. HTML refers to the HyperText Markup Language, and they mark-up texts texts on how websites will be displayed in browser

2. <html>…</html> indicates the content is HTML

3. <head>…<head> contains web page information i.e. <title>…</title>

4. <body>…</body> contains main content and structure

5. The structure follows in this order: Html, head, title, head, body,html

6. An absolute URL refers to an external page, while a relative page refers to a internal page

7. … makes paragraphs

8. make lines break, note no closing tag

9. <a href=”contact.html”

Target=”_blank”>Contact Us</a>

10.… makes a bold text

Also part of my IT homework, I am going to share some of my learning points of the Web 2.0, in comparison to the Web 1.0. Well, Web 2.0 used technology and methods far superior to Web 1.0, which are the static pages of the past.

Some of the features that Web 2.0 upholds are for example, blogs, social media, video sharing pages and etc., thus allowing users to interact and collaborate with one another on an internet platform.

Quite contrary to belief, the Web 2.0 was developed, not a acute and sharp change, but rather the cumulative effort and experience for decades. Web 2.0 allows a user not only to retrieve information from the web, but also allow them to interact with other users and update the websites, thus marking a revolutionary change to the history of the Web.

I have been using Web 2.0 for my whole life, and thus I am not knowledgable of what is Web 2.0. However, after I researched on Web 2.0, I realised how fortunate my generation is. For example, in Web 1.0, it is impossible for a user to edit a Page once it was created, hence websites like Facebook, YouTube and Wikipedia were practically impossible. However, now in our generation, editting a page or adding a comment can be accomplished in a few mere seconds, and this greatly aids our life. Thus, this ends my learnings of Web 2.0.

BTW, here are some videos which are quite useful!
