Project Summery - Blog

         In this project - blog,  I learnt more about the word ''blog", it is a websites made by different people. A lot of people put a lot of different things to their blog,  for example, recipes. You can add things like videos, links, and audio to your blog too. If you want to embed youtube videos, you can click on the "embed" button below the video, and they will give you a code, then you can copy the code to and post it on your blog, you have to click on the Edit HTML not compose, if not it won't work.

          I've learnt that blogging can be dangerous, here are some reasons that why blogging is dangerous and how can I avoid it:

• People may go to my house or find you if you put my address on your blog, I can avoid it by not putting your address on your blog.

• People may also call me if I put my phone number to my blog and they might annoy me, to avoid this, never put my phone number on my blog.

• Do not put my birthday/ date of birth on my blog because people might know my age.

• Don't say any bad language when I am posting something.

I have learnt some new words from this project too, for example:

Embed - Its is when getting some information from one website to another website fore example embedding youtube videos to my blog.

Widget - Widget is the information that is being taken from another website to my website, for example, the video you took is the widget.

HTML - It is the language to embed something, for example, when I embed a video to my blog, I have to put a code which the video will give me and when I put the code to HTML, then go back to the normal writing one which is compose, I can get the video.

I embedded a video from youtube, it was about "How to make a blog". I think to embed a video to my blog is very easy because the process is very simple. First I clicked on the "embed" button below, then I copied the code they gave us when I clicked on the  button, then I copied it and put it to Edit HTML when I edit my post, then post it in my blog and it will work. I think embedding library thing was quite hard because the process was quite difficult and I didn't think that we need to make a account, but when my friends told me how to do it, then I thought, why can't I think of that! I think embedding library thing is very cool because it will automatically update the books I put to my blog. Embedding a wordle to my blog is easy too, I just made my wordle and saved it to public gallery, then I clicked on my wordle and they will give me a code below the wordle, I copied it and put it to Edit HTML and it will work. Embedding google docs was quite hard too because it was a bit complicated and embedding delicious was hard because I think it was confusing. 

Having people commenting on my post is good because you can get feedbacks and so I can improve my post by looking at the comments.

Labeling is like tags, at first, I thought Iaqw can just write the labels, but actually I can use a label cloud, it makes it better or useful for the reader. It is very easy to do label cloud on my blog, I went to add gadget and chose label, then I typed in all the labels and it will automatically come out with label cloud.

I have learnt a lot of things from this project, creating my own blog. I have learnt how to embed things to my blog, for example, embedding videos from youtube, embedding things from google doc., and also embedding a wordle to my blog. Before I thought embedding things to my blog is very difficult, but it is very easy. I learnt that you can make labels, and I can use label clouds. I learnt that there are different techniques to make my blog better. It was quite challenging when we had to find answers our-selfs. It is quite hard to find out how to embed google docs and also embed delicious. After Mr. Parker gave us our rubric, when I got home and looked at it, I knew that there where more things that I could have changed or things I could improve on.
