It was good to learn how to use ftp </div><div>to submit my website content to athene.</div><div>I also learnt a lot about google and the features it provides to its users.<br>Creating accounts was a major part of this subject of which I now have at least 4 new accounts that provide different things</div><div>for me, one of the most important of those being my new Delicious Account.<br><br>With my Dilicious Account I can keep track of all my new internet based accounts and the Domain at where I can find them.<br>It is also great for keeping track of all the important websites I come across on a day to day basis.<br>Not only have I learnt how to create accounts with these sites but also how to ustilise what they have to offer me.<br><br>In this subject I have also learnt how to create website with simple tools like a text editor, or even Microsoft Word.<br>Using html is very useful as now I have even set up an email footer image with an email address I created for a future business<br>I'm thinknig of creating. i uploaded the image to Flickr and edited the html code of a personal signature to include the</div><div>image source found via Flickr.<br><br>Thanks for everything.</div><div> </div><div>-Spilljet</div><br>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523851429157918700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946559231887415698.post-78597726046431798842010-05-29T22:45:00.001-07:002010-05-29T22:52:22.891-07:00Meta Week 12 Blog item<div>Last week I had the website Assessment. Here is a link to <a href="http://athene.riv.csu.edu.au/~aburre03/iweb/" id="faz7" title="Athene Link">My athene site</a>.</div><div><br>With making my website, I chose to site down and rough plan what it would look like.<br>As I was to create it at uni I got together all the files I would need to make the site.<br>This included my header image, reducing my video to a file format small enough to post, and all the images i would need.<br>Once I had my design draft and all files needed I came into uni to use iWeb to put it all together.</div><div> </div><div><u>Using Iweb</u> </div><div>In iWeb I chose a layout style I liked and went about creating each page i required.<br>Some of the difficulties I had was there not being a simple way to make a page longer. Instead I had to add<br>an element that would remain invisible, like a text box, and drag it down to extend the page.<br><br>I also tried to delete the original header to import my own, but as soon as I deleted it the top of the page deleted<br>and the document moved upwards. S oI did the same as extending the page and left the header box there, just empty<br>and then put in my graphic.<br><br>Adding the images and video was simple enough as well as creating new text boxes. My next hurdle was using the widgets<br>to do what I wanted. I originally wanted a map using the google maps feature to show CSU Wagga. However when I imported the<br></div><div>feature it kept displaying a place in America. This was fixed however by grabbing the map straight from Google and importing<br>it that way. This techniques was also used in creating the link late ron once I verfied my site with w3schools.<br><br>In the end I ended up using fetch to upload my site to athene about 3 times to fix up thnigs that didn't quite work the way<br>I was expecting. Using Fetch made it easy to fix up mistakes and in the end I was happy with my final result.<br></div><div><u>Links to my other sites</u></div><br> <a href="http://spilljet.blogspot.com/" id="af90" title="its mone">My blogspot account</a><br><br><a href="http://delicious.com/spilljet/" id="n2rn" title="its also mine">My delicious Account</a><br><br><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/spilljet/" id="sy8z" title="you know its mine">My Flickr Account</a><br>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523851429157918700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946559231887415698.post-1634355709538373402010-05-19T20:59:00.001-07:002010-05-19T20:59:06.909-07:00technoratiI just signed up to Technorati.com here is the email I was sent, with my code T2V4VM8FP8GW<br><br><br>"This is an automatically-generated email.<br><br> Thank you for submitting your blog claim on Technorati.

Third parties can then download data from the remote system to their own computers, or existing data can be viewed and edited. This presents a significant risk, particularly when transferring company confidential information.</li><li>FTP can also be used to determine the passwords of individual users, since the password is transferred in clear text when logging on. As a result, even those with unauthorized access to this network can record the password information. </li></ul><br>It mentions ways to minimize the risk would be to use SFTP which stands for safe file transfer protocol.<br>other things which could be done to minimize the risks would be don't use the same passwords for multiple things and don't send material which is sensitive.<br>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523851429157918700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946559231887415698.post-37447884805993190062010-04-28T21:10:00.001-07:002010-04-28T21:10:54.197-07:00CSS SheetsUsing CSS sheets is handy for making visual changes to your page without effecting the information.<br>Some advantages include being able to update your style over a period of time, without affecting content.<br>You can also include outside images as your background. <br>Templates on the other hand are set styles you can chose from.<br>Templates also have the ability to change font colour, text size and style.<br>You can also change the background images and all colours.<br>Templates are limited to a certain amount of fonts colours and images.<br>There are many different aspects of accessibility with web pages to consider.<br>The page layout has to be easily navigable and also easy to be found using search engines.<br><br>last of all here's a link to <a href="http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colors.asp" id="l595" title="its so pretty">colour charts</a> found on the w3schools website, for changing colours using<br>hexadecimal values.<br><br>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523851429157918700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946559231887415698.post-84710255043114073232010-04-25T18:19:00.000-07:002010-04-25T18:27:24.674-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKtQDu3JMBZscvXX2s-Y6VglGjM-njr5ORnZ3KXIWggVpa-fTzMOaPJa5r9MpbfPCyzXyfWEJdvg6-NTU5auQ4kYdg_U0ByAW5OygPsBRuGzlip4dReh5xkvXj-UtoRH7Hs65MAlsYGqY/s1600/Periodic_Table_of_Typefaces_large.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464250703223728562" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKtQDu3JMBZscvXX2s-Y6VglGjM-njr5ORnZ3KXIWggVpa-fTzMOaPJa5r9MpbfPCyzXyfWEJdvg6-NTU5auQ4kYdg_U0ByAW5OygPsBRuGzlip4dReh5xkvXj-UtoRH7Hs65MAlsYGqY/s320/Periodic_Table_of_Typefaces_large.jpg" /></a> I found this cool periodic table for FONTS.<br /><br />I think this is useful for any Graphic Designer.<br /><br />This image was sourced from<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://isiria.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/periodic_table_of_typefaces_large.jpg">http://isiria.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/periodic_table_of_typefaces_large.jpg</a>Ashleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04523851429157918700noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2946559231887415698.post-32488283130286394652010-04-21T22:36:00.001-07:002010-04-21T22:36:26.877-07:00MPI104_2010 Assessment #1<div><font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">My Blogger account is h<font face="'segoe ui'"><font size="2">ttp://spilljet.blogspot.com/</font></font></font></div><div><font face="'segoe ui', Helvetica, sans-serif"><font size="2">Here is <a href="http://spilljet.blogspot.com/" id="u.lv" title="CLICK IT">the Link</a>.
