Blog topic #5 Usablity

Here is the good example of good usability web-site I like laba Q.
This web-site may be Blog... but I like this simplesity.


One more good example we-site just in case
LAba Q wasn't web-site(it may be blog)
.

I use
da font very often.
This very handy web source won't let you get lost.
very simple and everything you want to know is always in front of you.


like 10 principals of ... says,
This web-site doesn't let us think, no need to be patient, focusing on the fonts we want, and simple and simple!!!
they are using only two colors, red and black.
no too many ads.

The porpoise of this web-site, free font, is very easy to install and find.

This is the web-site I think is the good example.

Blog topic#4 Custamize this

I customized my blog such as Font, color of the back ground and text, I also added image of my profile.

How did I do it?
it was easy, just went to the page customize.
Then you can chose fonts and colors, page elements, pick new template and so on.
when you change something, you can see the preview page too.

you can also make money from adsense(having ads in your blog).

Blog topic#3

I actually didn't know anything about RSS,
So I quoted explanation of RSS from
http://www.whatisrss.com/

What is RSS?


RSS (Rich Site Summary) is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. Many news-related sites, weblogs and other online publishers syndicate their content as an RSS Feed to whoever wants it.


How is it useful and/or being used?

RSS solves a problem for people who regularly use the web. It allows you to easily stay informed by retrieving the latest content from the sites you are interested in. You save time by not needing to visit each site individually. You ensure your privacy, by not needing to join each site's email newsletter. The number of sites offering RSS feeds is growing rapidly and includes big names like Yahoo News.


How can you use the RSS feed to track updates to your fellow student's blogs?


Feed Reader or News Aggregator software allow you to grab the RSS feeds from various sites and display them for you to read and use.

A variety of RSS Readers are available for different platforms. Some popular feed readers include Amphetadesk (Windows, Linux, Mac), FeedReader (Windows), and NewsGator (Windows - integrates with Outlook). There are also a number of web-based feed readers available. My Yahoo, Bloglines, and Google Reader are popular web-based feed readers.

Once you have your Feed Reader, it is a matter of finding sites that syndicate content and adding their RSS feed to the list of feeds your Feed Reader checks. Many sites display a small icon with the acronyms RSS, XML, or RDF to let you know a feed is available.


What's an aggregator?

Readers.
