What I have Learnt. Round 2

Over the last term we have learnt many things in MPI104. The main aim of learning all this was to eventually put together a website. Firstly we learnt about File Transfer Protocol (FTP). This where we can transfer our files that we create onto the World Wide Web. We were all given an Athene account to publish our websites too. Next we learnt about adding counters to our websites. This was so we could keep track of how many people actually visited our space. At the moment the counts are only around 50, but the more we added to our website, the more hits we got. We also touched on RSS feeds. These allow you to subscribe to web pages using RSS feeds, and get updates on your webpage when they update theirs. RSS feeds have a monthly subscription cost and are very handy in keeping up-to-date with events and such. We then signed our blogs up to technorati. It was here we learnt that we around the four millionth, eight hundredth and fourteenth thousand, five hundredth and twenty sixth most important person signed up to technorati. And because our websites are visited very little and not up-dated a lot, we also have no authority in the technorati world. But I learnt that technorati is a great tool for businesses and for even just a person to keep track of what people are ‘saying about you, your company, your products, your competitors, your politics and, other areas of interest, on the Internet in real time’(Technorati 101). It is a great source that works different to RSS feed and reads all WebPages, not just RSS subscribed ones. So eventually after learning all of this info, we were able to create our very own personal webpage using IWeb. Here we added counters, links and even a RSS subscription. All in all it has been a very interesting and useful semester in MPI104.
