I have found this assignment to be more beneficial to me as we learnt how to use many new functions of the internet, all of which I haven't heard of before.
We have continued to use our Fllickr and Del.icio.us sites and continued to manage them and add more photo's and bookmarks. I have also created a larger network of contacts on my Del.icio.us account and my Flickr. I now have over 30 photo on Flickr of my friends and family, as well as things I found of interest. I found Del.icio.us to be really useful since I created an account. I have used it to save pages when doing a huge essay, and this made referencing really easy! I also saved pages that I use all the time and I know if I use a different computer then I can still access these sites.
I have also played around with the look of my blog, changed colours and fonts etc... to find a look that suited my blog and kept it looking tidy etc...
I have also claimed my blog with Technorati, and added a badge to my blog. I have looked at my rank and authority over the weeks to see how it has changed. Didn't really understand this at first but have a rough idea now.
I have also added a RSS feed to show my del.icio.us links and this was something I had never heard of before but found it interestng in how it updates itself automatically.
To keep track of visitors I have used Sitemeter and only added this recently so my visits are pretty low, as far as I can tell they are uni people who have visited and they don't stay long : (.
I also like learning how to take a snapshot of a webpage, I think i will use this a lot now that I know how to do it!
All in all I have found this assesment to challenge my knowledge of the internet and everything that I learnt was something I had never learnt before so it was very beneficial!
