Sixth post

My experience with using blog has been ok i like that you can really express your self it's like a personal diary. Also it shows news and thoughts from other bloggers . I use the blog to write memos and express myself . I enjoy that their is no rules to the blog . I also use a collection of links . My first experience using the blogger wasn't difficult but i had to figure how to work it . I like how you can design your own profile however you want to express yourself . I enjoy viewing  other bloggers page's . It's different using blogger and i get to have a voice and connect with others. Blogger is an amazing experience .

    Good and Bad desgin

    Some of the elements that consist of a good design are : Text - Background does not interrupt the text, text is big enough to read,columns of text are narrower than in a book to make reading easier on the screen. Navigation - Navigation buttons and bars are easy to understand and use , navigation buttons and bars provide the visitor with a clue as to where they are, what page of the site they are currently on frames, if used, are not obtrusive , and a large site has an index or site map. Links - the links colors coordinate with page colors , and the links are underlined so they are clear to the visitor. Graphics -Buttons are not big , Every graphic has an different label , every graphic link has a matching text link ,Graphics and backgrounds use browser-safe colors , Animated graphics turn off by themselves. General Design - Pages download quickly , Good use of graphic elements to break up large areas of text , Every web page in the site looks like it belongs to the same site; there are repetitive elements that carry throughout the pages. A page with a bad designs are : Backgrounds - default gray color , Color combinations of text and background that make the text hard to read , Busy and distracting backgrounds that make the text hard to read. Text - Text that is too small to read , Text crowding against the left edge. Links - Default blue links , Blue link borders around graphics. Graphics - Large graphic files that take forever to load , meaningless or useless graphics. Tables - Borders turned on in tables , Tables used as design elements, especially with extra large (dorky) borders. Blinking and animations - anything that blinks, especially text , Multiple things that blink. Junk - Counters on pages , junky advertising. Navigation - Unclear navigation; over complex navigation , complicated frames, too many frames, unnecessary scroll bars in frames. General Design - Frames that make you scroll sideways , No focal point on the page.

    wind turbine

    During the wind turbine project I learned that a wind turbine is used to generate energy to power things using the wind. To my knowledge it does this by first collecting energy form the wind and storing it to create electricity for a house or building or machine of some sort.
    The wind turbine is related to the sectors that we read because it describes how humans are evolving over time to create differnet ways of generating energy using differnt types of natural resources.

    first post

    what i learned about a blog is , A blog is a personal diary. Also it shows news and thoughts from other bloggers . And you can express your own private thoughts . memos to the world . collection of links . But really a blog is a web site with no real rules. The blogger was launched 1999. and since then it has reshaped the web. And Impacted politics . Also shaken up journalism , the blogger has enabled millions of people to have a voice and connect with others. I can't wait to get started .
