Third Post

Well I have now made a solution to my lack of a picture by adding the source html to my html for the last post, which now not only only shows the picture but also if clicked goes to the pictures location on the web. Unfortunately there is no image map with written words ad blogger has errors when trying to upload this type of image.

I added some style to my page by inserting some CSS into the body my html template. I have made the background and the text red. I have also added a navbar to my left sidebar by inserting navbar html into my sidebar section in my html template, along with this I created a repeating image from another website for my background. I used the W3Schools website to show me how this was done. Now my blog has some style.

The style type was text/CSS and it allowed a background image to repeat itself while text was visile over the top of it. The ul class navbar has its href's in the body while the positioning is placed in the sidebar content of the html editor. It's positioned is fixed so it remains stationary in the the top left hand corner.

Second Journal Entry

I can't enter a events tag in my journal because it is in blogspot which doesn't have extra menu items such as reviews and events. Instead I have put a labels tag, called journal entries on each entry, allowing the reader to access a separate page containing all the entries. My blog already has an archive system in place to allow for linking of posts to certain dates. The "style" html does not work on blogger because it merely creates a style which blogger already contains and does not effect content which blogger already contains.

I have incounted a problem with using blogger and image maps as blogger seems to be unable to upload them. Having done the required editing in photo image program I was then unable to upload the image map onto blogger. Instead I have pasted the image's html onto this post showing where the picture should be. when clicked though it does go to the image. I may have to try and upload the image map onto a image sharing program so it can be viewed.

First Jouranal Post

I have successfully entered in first post confirming that I have completed assigned tasks in lab session.

This included logging in and logging out using my computer account in the ANU Student Computing Environment, using some basic features of the MacOSX user interface, and some more advanced ones, and also using the Safari browser to read WWW resources and use a web mail interface to read and send e-mails from my ANU account, with an attachment.
Also signing up to Blogspot instead of Xanga due to my already familiarity with the site.

Having done these thing I feel ready to progress to the next stages of interfacing with the web.
