Second Blog Entry - WEB110

You know, another thing I did learn so far with this class is the sheer number of websites that will come up on a search that have absolutely no relation to what you are looking for. Now, I do search for information on the Web quite often, and maybe its just the information I'm looking for, but I don't seem to have the problems that occurred when I searched for hiking catalogs in Assignment 1 under Module 1. That was some interesting information.
Also, the cached information was interesting to see. I had no idea that was available to look at. I intend to look up more information about "cache" because I don't think I got enough information about it to satisfy my curiosity about the subject. I'm anxious to get started with the textbook as this course progresses.

First Blog Entry - Web 110

I have to say this website obviously makes it extremely easy to set up a blog. I had no idea it was so easy to do. However, I will say that blogging is not something that I ever participate in or even read on a regular basis. In looking back through the module notes so far for this course, the Netiquette information that is available should be utilized more, especially when typing e-mails. I cannot express enough how irritating it is for me to read, on average, 25-30 e-mails per day in a corporate environment that have spelling and grammar errors, that cross the line of good taste, and in general should not be included in business related e-mails. Personal e-mails should still be sent with respect to the person receiving and reading it. The file compression information was not anything new for me to learn.

Back to this blog. It was a quick and efficient setup process, but again, I'm not one to read through blogs or share opinions on the web like this. I'm sure there are blogs available on the Web that would be of interest to me, but time to read through and respond to them is another obstacle for me that I will most likely not attempt to overcome.
