Module 3 Tasks - HTML lessons 1-14 Intro

HTML - another new language to be learnt. My first effort:
"This is my first homepage. This text is bold"
file:///D:/INT%20STUDIES/Mod%203%20tasks/mypage.htm - lovely!

Just about to work my way through a whole lot of lessons on HTML. I want to know who the W3C is - and how they got together in the first place. need to look more at their website http://www.w3.org/

"The idea is to make something that the world can view" http://www.mcli.dist.maricopa.edu/tut/tut0.html from Mod 3 tasks.
Seems very logical to me... nothing more frustrating than a website that just doesn't work on your browser. I'm not sure why browsers treat HTML differently - sure I will find out. Guess that's why they want HTML4.

Hyper Text Markup Language here I come!!!

Notes on blogs

"To skilled online role players, it's easier to fake a flesh-world personae than to maintain a consistent, long-term online presence. It also happens to give street credibility.

"http://www.intermedia.uio.no/konferanser/skikt-02/docs/Researching_ICTs_in_context-Ch11-Mortensen-Walker.pdf

Now that's an interesting comment. I think blogs are like diaries. except they're public. And I think people always want someone to read their diaries anyway. Why would they write them otherwise?
Who will our Anne Frank be?

The Blog World

This site http://www.brainoff.com/geoblog/ is just great. It really starts to sink in just how totally radical the internet can be - the lights coming on around the world although it's noticeably dark in Africa and parts of Asia .. question of equal access.
