Parklife

Check out some of my photos from Parklife in my photostream on the right

The weather has been terrible!

The weather could  have quite easily wrecked my long weekend! Luckily I was having way to much fun and i didn't take to much notice of the weather. Im heading to the Bathurst 1000 this weekend so I'm hoping the weather gets a bit nicer before then. Looking very forward to it!

My Parklife Weekend!

I had the best long weekend! Parklife was amazing, probably one of the best weekends of my life! The only downside was the weather, which turned out alright at the end of the day, but at the start of the day we were wearing black garbage bags to keep us warm and out of the rain! Overall it was an awesome weekend!

Assessment 2 Blog

My website stuck to the theme of the weather. I didn't know much about iWeb, much like everyone else, but I'm not very used to Mac's either. So it was all a self learning experience and I think i learnt a fair bit from this assignment.
My website consists of 5 pages;
*Home - A summary of the daily weather and weather news
*Weekly Forecast - A weekly forecast 
*Weather Pics - Some interesting pictures of weather
*Weather Vids - Some very cool weather caught on tape
*Contact me/ Links - A link to send me an email and some links to my Blogger, Flickr and delicious pages.
There is also an RSS feed from Weatherzone.com
My site is one that needs to be constantly updated to keep people in the know and up to date with the weather. If I was to go ahead with this site, I would obviously keep it updated, but for the purposes of this assignment we can just pretend that I am going to constantly update it.

I tried utilising the simple counter widget, but there was a problem with it appearing on the site after publishing, Also the RSS feeds I had a bit of trouble with because I didn't know much about them, but figured it out in the end. 

Doing this assessment helped me to understand FTP and basic website publishing, I had a bit of background knowledge in html that came in handy but wasn't all that useful in this situation.


Long Weekend!

Cant wait for 5 0'clock Friday! Weekend starts, time to get away! Please be kind mother nature!
