How could a blog be improved?

This is for the week 4 of the student blogging challenge. A blog can be improved by adding a theme, some widgets and also some other funky features such as text based things on your sidebar.

Themes can be used to add attraction to your blog as it gives a colour scheme, sidebars in which to add widgets and also can change the way people see posts and pages. Themes are easy to add and change, and there is also hundreds of themes to choose from.

Widgets are the boxes that fit onto a blog’s sidebar. Widgets can include things such as hyperlinks to other blogs and your site admn, visit trackers such as clustr maps and also little virtual pets to play around with. Widgets are mainly incorporated using HTML code that comes from sites other than edublogs.

If you were to visit NSW

This is for challenge 3 of the blogging challenge.

If you were to visit NSW, i would recommend 2 places to you, Sydney Harbour (Both the Bridge and the Opera House) and also the Hunter Valley Wineries.

Sydney Harbour is the iconic area of NSW, maybe even Australia, as it is home two two major landmarks, the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.

The Hunter Valley Wineries are an extremely interesting place to visit as you can get guided tours of the wineries and learn how wine is made. The wine that is produced is also of a high quality (or so my parents and their friends believe, i dont drink any alcohol as i am too young and i dont like the taste). I have chosen this as it it is near where i live and it is the most famous area around.

A website that has information on the Sydney Opera House is: http://www.cultureandrecreation.gov.au/articles/sydneyoperahouse/

Should Real Photos Be Used On Blogs?

This is for Challenge Two of the Student Blogging. I believe that students shouldnt use real photos on their blogs as even though there are other students in the challenge, people who are outside the challenge could get onto the blog and then could potentially pose as another student or could harm people by tracking them down.

Something I have learnt out of school…

This is for Challenge One of the September Blogging Challenge. Something i have learnt outside of school is how to fish. Fishing is a sport that is based on patience and constant attention. It takes a while to become proficient, but it can be highly rewarding as you can catch some rather large fish .

I am recommending 5 blogs to you today :)

This post is for Challenge 6 of the Student Blogging Challenge. This post is going to recommend five blogs for you to see.

Blog number 1 is Brenton’s Blog at msw9br2009.edublogs.org. This is a blog that doesn’t feature a mountain of posts and pages, but i have found the information on this site to be helpful and it relates to things that i like to do and see.

Blog number 2 is Dominic’s Blog at msw9dc2009.edublogs.org. This is a blog that has a relatively large number of posts and pages and has interesting information for a variety of people.

Blog Number 3 is Sara’s Blog at sarawade.edublogs.org. This is a blog that is just getting started and i believe this blog could be one of the best with a little constructive criticism/support.

Blog Number 4 is Conor’s Blog at conorbyers.edublogs.org. This blog has a nice theme and some useful information and i would recommend this blog to all bloggers!

Blog Number 5 is Jaiden’s Blog at jaidenharvey.edublogs.org. This blog is getting started and as Sara’s could use support to help get it up and running and looking more fanastical.

Thats it for now, until next time,

M Philly’s going hiding…

New South Wales

This post is about the Week 3 blogging challenge which is to write a post about the “must see” locations for your state/province. The state that i am doing is New South Wales, Australia.

Within the fairly large state of NSW there is plenty of things to see and do, but i will list the top four things to see.

Number 1 on the list of things to see is the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The reason why i recommend this to you is because the Sydney Harbour Bridge is a monument of Australia’s construction abilities. It has been standing for over 70 years and still remains a symbol of Australia.

Number 2 on the list of things to do is to visit the Sydney Opera House. This landmark has been standing for over 30 years and in 2007, was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Number 3 on the list of things to see is the Wineries of the Hunter Valley. They produce high-quality wines and the landscape they are based in is very beautiful. These wineries are based in the hills west of Newcastle.

Number 4 on the list of things to see is the Blue Mountains National Park. This national park is about 120km west of sydney via road. The Blue Mountains National Park has criss-crossing paths around the mountains and it features one of the most famous landmarks in Australia, the THREE SISTERS!

I hope that you will make use of this information.
