Sweetheart Of Kairi (Sorrow & Owsey)

came across this absolutely beautiful EP today, a collaboration between Sorrow and Owsey, two of my favourite current producers. The outcome is six amazingly atmospheric tracks, all with their own charm.

Workshop Six

This week we started to look at javascript. I used one of the simple bits of code for the header to this blog, so that when the image is moused over, it changes to a different image.

the last principle was the one i used in my blog

HTML Test

For the start of workshop 4's exercise I completed an online test on HTML here.

I scored 95%! (19 out of 20). The only one I got wrong was about header tags, I looked it up and h1 is the tag for the most important heading...

Workshop Three

This week I changed a lot about the appearance of my blog - I added a blogroll on the side, customised the background and layout, and added a title, in the form of a Jpeg image. 

Working Music

I've been listening to a few things while writing these posts, here's one of my current favourites:

Workshop Two

In this session we set up this blog!

Blogger was chosen as it is a good, basic and free blog service, which can be made to look good quite easily without messing around with too much HTML. (although this is still possible!)

My actual first blog post was the one I posted about a track by Burial. I was experimenting with putting in images and music via Youtube. It's all pretty simple really, Blogger gives you options to add in videos and images in the editing toolbar on top of the Create form.

I will be doing a lot of this blog from home, and as I can't access Filezilla/the uni network from my house, I have decided to use free webspaces for my uploads. I'm finding Imgur pretty good for images at the moment - it's easy, and really fast to upload, so I'll probably be using that from now on... Not sure about other files yet, I've used Dropbox before, but I'm not sure it's what I'm looking for.

I also learnt to use hyperlinks within the blog: (UWE website), and how to change the font to bold and italic. looking at the HTML code, I can see that all these changes have their own tags which go around the text used.

Workshop One (Introduction)

last week was mainly getting used to the idea of basic html. we started by looking at our CEMS webpage we had been given, which mainly included text (my name and what course I am doing). I learnt to use Filezilla to upload files from my hard drive to an online webspace. Using this, I learnt how to display an image on my webpage.

Burial - Fostercare

I first came across this track a few years back, on the 5 Years of Hyperdub album, and it really stood out as the best track on there.
