Experience on Blogging

After a couple of days of using the blog, I have learned to manage and use my blog. I learned that there is a difference between a blog and a post. I learned that a blog is a new webpage and a post is something you write on a specific topic on your post. I also learned how to add links to my blog to make it easier to access to websites that I need. In addition, I learned the good and bad web designs.  I learned that the background on your page can sometimes interrupt with the text and make it hard to read.  I learned that a blog can be used to share personal experience as well as hobbies.  A blog could also be used to write about a specific topic. I learned that you can post on your blog whenever you want, as many times as you want. I also learned that I can give feedback about someone’s post by posting a comment on their page.

Bad/Good web design features

After reading the articles, I learned how to manage and better my webpage by adding and deleting things that needed. I learned that the background on your page can sometimes interrupt with the text and make it hard to read.  The text also has to be a good size to read, not too small and not too big.  I learned that useless page titles that don't explain what the page is about make your page hard to read. Navigation buttons and bars should be easy to understand and use. Also it’s a bad feature to have useless graphics that don’t mean anything.  I understand that underlining text is not a link. Blinking and animations on your page are bad features. All of the pages need the immediate visual impact within 800 x 600 pixels. Overall I learned what my page should look like. I learned what not to do to my page, and also what to do in order to improve my page.

Glider Project

 Throughout the glider project I’ve learned many things. I learned that in order to build a glider, I needed to follow many steps, instead of just directly building it. I needed to do research on the glider. I needed a front, side and top view of the glider. Afterwards I drew a template of the different parts of the glider. I learned that I need to do a lot before starting building my glider. The glider needed a rudder, an elevator, and wings. I learned that the elevator changes the pitch of the glider. And rudder is used for effecting horizontal change in course.  I learned that the glider needed to be stabilized in order to balance whenever it’s flying. The glider was similar to the 1900 version, but had larger wings. I learned that the 1902 glider had a much thinner airfoil and longer narrow wings, which became more efficient when the glider was flown. 

What is a blog?

A Blog is  personal website on which someone records opinions, links to other sites, etc. whenever the person wants to. A blog could also be used diary entries about your own personal experiences and hobbies. Blogs contain specific information ona specific topic.  It's  often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web. You could share your blog with everyone or just specific people.They contain  regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. They are arranged in chronological order from the most recent post to the older post. You can give feedback on a blog by posting a comment. Most blogs use comments.
