It is useful to know how many visitors you have as you can determine whether your content is actually good and if people read it. Previously I have used a counter from a different website which only allowed me to see how many people had visited my page. This is very different to the one that I now have which is from site meter.
Site meter allows me to see many things such as:
- how many people have visited my blog
- what time frame people visited
- how they came to my blog
- how they left my blog
So I have just joined site meter so I don’t have that many blog hits as I had to restart mine but I did get up to around two hundred which I think is a solid effort as my blog isn’t that interesting at all.

mpi104 : week 10 : technorati
im still trying to make sense of technorati and i think im getting there but here is what i understand so far. Technorati is an internet search engine focused on the world of weblogs. it organises and processes blogs, photos, videos and many more. it allows people to get whats happening on the internet and the world right now.
i think that technorati is different but yet also the same as google. as it is both a search engine showing things that are the most popular pages but technorati searches through tags that people have put on their blogs. this doesnt really make that much sense at the moment but hopefully someone can shed some light to technorati in the next few lessons as im sure we will be talking about it or rather people will be very competitive about their rank and authority.
when someone says rank i think of high school or really any group which has some sort of hierarchy thus i find it really petty that a website's main purpose is showing how someone is 'ranked' in the world. authority is also similar as its defined as a power or right delegated or given. i believe everyone is equal and yes there are people in the world that have more authority and it can not be determined through technorati.
my rank: 641,369
my authority: 8
from what i can gather the smaller your rank the higher you are in the ranking system that technorati uses. the authority is how many people have saved your blog. over the next week or so i will keep checking my numbers.
technorati’s 100 most popular blogs.
my fav. blog at the moment is seths blog as it has a good balance between form and content. the information is very informative and would be useful if you are into that sort of stuff. but i like reading random things and i do find it interesting.
there are more snapshots of blogs that i find aesthetically pleasing at my flickr account.

AESTHETICS.
from what i can understand about aesthetics is that it deals with many different ideas and notions of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic and so it goes on. i also believe it has something to do with your emoptions in terms of your own sense of beauty and what you personally find visually attractive.
there are many sites that i find visually pleasing for many reasons which deal with text, layout, colours etc. for me i like the text to be big enough so i dont have to strain my eyes and in a colour that is easy to read when it is against a different coloured back ground. i personally like clean websites that arnt crowded (my blog spot is an excellent example of how i dont like it). so web sites that i do like include:
Eolo Perfido as it is very simple and easy to use. the text is easy to read and in white which stands out from the two toned dark grey/green background. the website is easy to navigate which is a bonus as things i dont get i have nothing to do with them. Eolo Perfido's work is also visually pleasing which also helps with the overall aesthetic of the website.
YU. is also another example of something that i find visually pleasing as it is simple but also has its own style. the white background is clean and the use of the grey text works well with the overall theme of the website. the use of the circle which works with the cursor that goes over a picture also makes the website more interesting.
everyone strives for a visually pleasing website but there are many out there that people just hate and there are people that show these ugly websites to others just to get a laugh. there are many reasons why one might think that a website is ugly, for me personally it is rank colours and bland backgrounds for example:
i find the austin homepage a really terrible website as i think some of the text is lost within the background. and i just dont like the colour green properly as fluoro green was a school colour and it brings up memories.
when i created my blogspot i wanted people to remember it and that is what i have done as every week joe refers to how large my title font is....and says im 'self indulged' or something like that. to be honest with you i couldn’t care less what he said about it but i know he has looked at it and remembers which was my main purpose.

rss feeds.
a link roll and rss feed is basically the same thing when it comes down to it. you can find the rss feed in the right hand corner of some websites url's.
WHAT IS XML.
in simple terms an XML is a general/ mark up language in which it shares data across different information systems, in this case the internet. a mark up language is a system which identifies complex structres in a document.
>>>>>>>>>>>
WHAT IS RSS AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
RSS stand for many things such as
- Really Simple Syndication
- Rich Site Summary
- RDF Site Summary
an rss feed basically shows when a website has been updated. a prime example where you can find an rss feed are blogs, news sites, del.icio.us sites and photo sites. the RSS feed provieds a table of contents for the paticular site but not the information itself just rather links to the updated information. RSS feeds can be useful for those who know how to use it as it assembles information into an easier place to read.
>>>>>>>>>>>
i have now included an rss feed on my blog for my del.icio.us account. this will enable you to quickly check if i have recently updated my del.icio.us account with any other interesting websites that i think you should check out.

ASSESSMENT NUMBER ONE.
In this post I am supposed to explain how and why I think my blog, delicious and flicker accounts are interesting and have some sense of interestingness within them. This brings me back to one of my earlier posts about interestingness. this post basically talks about who determines interestingness and really I determine what is interesting thus I write it in a post for everyone to read and if you don’t feel if its that interesting well then that’s up to you.
Over the past eight weeks or so I have written sixteen posts on my blog erin. which do include those first few posts which link you to my flicker and delicious accounts. At first I thought the idea of keeping a blog was silly as it’s ultimately like keeping a diary and I am the worst person to keep a diary, it goes on for a about a week or two then I forget or I’m too lazy to keep going. I do however think very highly of people who keep blogs about their lives on the Internet for all to see. To me it shows a sign of courage, I feel that whatever I write I will somehow be offending someone but over the past few weeks I am starting to get over it. I tried to make my blogs as interesting as possible but it was hard for me to find a subject matter so I just wrote random stuff that had happened in the previous week. I feel the post about zits. was the most interesting as everyone goes through it and my friend Bri is in a competition to win something, still not sure as to what yet but I found it interesting as none of my friends knew about what Bri was doing until I wrote a post about it which I thought was pretty cool.
I saw blogger similar to myspace in terms of the layout and background; you could either have a pre-determined format or create one from scratch, which is what I decided to do. I used a website called mygen which is what I use to create my myspace layout/format. I used a picture that I found a while ago just browsing through some random images and I thought it was cool so I used that, then I found out that it was hard to read the posts and other writing so I had to wash out the photo and make the text large and bold. I prefer having bigger texts as its easier for other people to read as well as myself.
I comment a range of peoples posts that I find interesting a few of these peoples are Viv’s blog and Matt’s blog these two blogs are totally different from each other and has a sense of individual style which I do find interesting.
I feel that I have successfully completed all the criteria on the checklist for blogger. It took me a while to complete but I believe I have done everything correctly.
I was really excited when I was told what flicker. was as I have heaps of photos that I want to share with friends from home and here in Wagga. Previously I have used photobucket, which was fantastic as I could upload as many photos as I wanted per month where as for flicker. there is a limit to the amount I can upload which is annoying so I had to determine which photos should have the privilege of being uploaded which is a tad annoying at times as I have to wait for the next month which ultimately means I will forever be behind in sharing photos.
Currently I have twenty-three contacts most of which come from the MPI-104 course. Having contacts within flicker. also allows me to work out who’s who and see what they are doing within flicker, blogger and delicious. I have joined many groups within flicker. I find this very useful as I can express my interests in groups all of Australia and even the world in some cases. Looking through different groups I have come across a few photos that I find attention-grabbing in some cases so I have posted them as my favourites.
I have commeted on a few peoples photos some of which include Nicks ninjas, Matts butterfly effect shot and Alice’s music picture just to name a few. Most of the photos that I have commented on are social happy snaps except for Alice’s photo on the guitar.
I have used a wide range of tags on my photos such as
- abstract
- interesting
- mpi104-2007
- tapes
just to name a few. Once I get different types of photos there will obviously be more tags than there are now.
I have not as yet figured out how to make flicker more visually pleasing but it is on my to do list in the next coming weeks when I work out the best way to do so. Thus at the moment it’s a bit bland though its main purpose is to share photos which I believe it is doing very well. Hopefully after next week I will be able to upload some more photos from the holidays that are interesting and the photos that I use for my photography assignment that deals with human intervention. I believe I have done everything that has been asked on the checklist for flicker.
I now feel that my delicious account is a vital role in my day-to-day relationship that I have with the internet. It allows me to save and easily find my favourite websites whilst sharing them with people who have the same interests as me. I have a small network at the moment consisting of eleven but it is slowly growing. My bookmarks range from fashion photography to low budget animations and all in between.
At first it was a little hard for me to use as I really didn’t visit that many different sites but going through the delicious home page and other groups I am finding more and more useful sites about interesting things and what’s hot at the moment. I have just recently completed the link roll for delicious and saved it on my blog, this means I have now also successfully completed all check points on the list for delicious.
Overall I think that being exposed to these different websites have helped me use the internet better as I have been able to share and search for items in a different way. It has been an interesting nine weeks and I cant wait to see how my thoughts will have changed the next time the assessment comes around.

ME.
I figured I might as well tell you a little bit about myself/my whole life story as its not that long and I wont really go into that much detail cause then it would take a lifetime.
My parents met at the snow and soon fell in love, both Australian born with heritage from predominantly the UK. After dating for a few years they decided to get married and have me. My name is Erin Elizabeth Hardman, born on October the 18th 1988 to Diane and Alan Hardman.
I grew up and still live in Strathfield Sydney, which is about 30minutes away from the city and 10minutes from the Homebush Olympic site. My younger brother Sam was born on March the 11th 1990.
Sam and I attended primary school at Strathfield North Public School a year apart and left at the beginning of years four and six to move to England for two years as my father obtained a job working for the programming of the cows for the mad cow disease. We were all excited to go as they gave us little clues that we were leaving ‘to shop with the queen and to see big Ben.’ So in January of 1999 we trekked it over to England, my grandmother Janice also came with us to help us get set up. We moved around a bit but found our soon to be home for the next 24 months in Cranighly, Surrey, a nice country town where the people were friendly and welcoming. After six months of living in Surry I learnt that my dad was extremely sick and was visiting the hospital every day without letting my brother or I know. Turns out that everyone knew except for Sam and I that dad had Leukaemia even before we left Sydney.
Things turned for the worse over the next few weeks, my parents decided to move back home so dad could get treatment and be with family and friends. January 24th 2000 my father passed away from an aggressive case of Leukaemia. I personally did not deal with it that great and who would at the age?? I was angry all the time, I only cried once at the funeral and as my brother puts it I was just a mean bitch. In 2001 I started high school at MLC School Burwood, Mum couldn’t get me to talk so she made me go see the school counsellor and I really did not want to but the school was like if you don’t we will give you a detention and at that stage of my high school career I was freaked out about getting a detention. So I went and it was a complete waste of time, if I don’t want to talk to my family about it why would I want to speak to a stranger about it.
I eventually let the anger pass by year nine and I was back to being relatively normal for a 15 year old.
At MLC they offer this camp for three weeks to Broken Hill which I have spoken a little bit about before, it was the best experience I have ever had in my life or rather one of the top few. I made great friends and I lost good friends. I found it as a curving point in my recovery with losing my dad. 
Year 10 I went on the American Sports Tour and that’s where I became really good friends with Steph. There were dramas on the trip but there always are on tours like that but I had a really good time meeting people and seeing the sites. Year 11 was an insane year as every one was cracking down on their schoolwork and going out heaps more. MLC offered the Debutante Ball and i really wanted to do it as my grandmother and my mum both did it but there was one thing that I wasn’t prepared to do which was the father daughter dance. I had no idea who I was going to ask to do it with me cause I wasn’t sure if it would be awkward or not so I ended up asking my grandfather as he has been part of the backbone in keeping my family together and I love him to bits for it. It turned out to be a great night as everyone got dressed up took heaps of photos and danced the night away.
2006 was a serious year as everyone was focusing on work and obtaining their best mark for the HSC so they could do what they wanted this year. I had no idea what I wanted to do and I personally still not sure if animation is the best thing for me, I love doing it and learning how to but I just have no idea.
My birthday was a day before the HSC started which sucked as I had to study but it was also good as I looked at it as a reward after the HSC to go out with everyone. year 12 formal was such a hassel but it turned out to be a fantastic night. 
i took brett which was probs one of the worst decisions of my life but he was nice enough. My group could not decided on one specific spot to go to for schoolies so Steph and I decided to go on a cruise and I have to say it was most probs the best holiday ever as the nothing bad happened as there was heaps of security, all our meals were cooked for us, we could party till dawn and watch the sunrise, sleep all day and we met heaps and heaps of people from all over Sydney, Melbourne and a few from Newcastle. I do recommend it to anyway but unfortunately they have stoped doing all cruises due to the bad media PnO have been getting regarding the death of the lady.
2007 break was the best ever I worked three days a week at a newsagency at Cremorne,
North Sydney and the weekends I went out with friends doing random stuff either at houses or parties or out on the town. Very quickly did I run out of money so I had to save and prepare to move to Wagga Wagga to do Animation and Visual Effects.
now im at uni im having a really good time. its hard to explain to people what its like
living on campus you basically have to experience it to understand what its really like. i have made some really good friends that will be with me for life which will be amazing. the social scene in Wagga is very much so different to Sydney but i like it just the same.
As I reflect on the last 18 years of my life I feel I have grown emotionally and physically as I’m a much more out-going person that I was but cautious when I meet new people as for some strange reason I think that they will just leave me so I don’t want to have the emotional attachment if it does happen thus I see it as saving myself from myself in some ways but I am getting over it slowing as everyone keeps telling me it takes time.

INTERESTINGNESS.
who determines what is interesting?
what is the criteria of an interesting post/blog?
how do you know if you are interesting?
how do you know if you write about interesting things?
what is interesting to you the same as the person next to you?
these are the questions i ask myself every time i write a post for the blog.
in english i was the WORST writer there could have ever been at my school. my creative writing was really bad and i did average in my essays only due to the fact that most of them were pre-written and had to answer a question. so now im thinking i should figure out a question prior to writing a post so i can answer that and try to make my blog more interesting. now i think how to i create an interesting question for me to answer??
so i have come to the realisation that i personally do not care if people find my blog interesting cause im not suited to everyone nor am i to them thus no one can really determine what is interesting thus the criteria on the mark sheet of 'interestingness' should be deleted as everyone is interesting in their own way most likely not through their writing skills (more than likely referring to just myself here).
i will now share with a few photos that i find interesting.
what is the criteria of an interesting post/blog?
how do you know if you are interesting?
