Last blog....

I actually know how to work photoshop and dreamweaver... wow!
I'm very proud of my lovely webpage.

Websites..... blah

2009-12-02T04:31:00.001-08:00

Oh dear.... getting there.

I really like our webpage. It's simple but original. :) I got the idea from looking up the meaning of colours. I used the gradient tool to combine blue to red to yellow colour. It came out really well actually. We got the idea by just talking about college. I didn't really have time to look up websites as I only started yesterday. That sounds so bad but you know why. I'm so happy I actually got it done ha!

Webpage

2009-12-02T02:47:00.000-08:00

Me and Benny are doing a website on 'Tips for College'. We decided we would have it colourful and have a lot of information on how to study, college life etc. It's aimed at potiential students and current students. We felt that no other website had information like this. We wanted to do something different instead of doing on on a football team or anything like that.

It's a really colourfull page as i said, I feel that it portrays a happy vibe...
Got to go watch a tutorial about dreamweaver....
Lovely!! :)

The SEO

2008-12-03T02:42:00.000-08:00

"Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of improving the volume and quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via "natural" ("organic" or "algorithmic") search results. Usually, the earlier a site is presented in the search results, or the higher it "ranks," the more searchers will visit that site. SEO can also target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines."

Whether it be new music, movies or just simple day to day queries the answer is "google it" its made searching for difficult things simple and for some navagating the web without it would be as hard as finding a neddle in a hay stack. The likes of Yahoo,Live search,Ask.com have been helping the not so indepth of the IT world for years helping us with online maps to dress shopping.

how to get number one on the google list is the question!!!!!!!

DJ Ray Dartley launches Positive Age Week
Popular DJ Ray Dartley helped launch Positive Age Week at a small tea party in the Merion Hotel yesterday(18.11.08).

Positive Age Week's central aim is to dispel the many negative perceptions that surround ageing and to transform attitudes. It is also an opportunity to raise many needed funds for the charity.
Lorraine Dorgan, deputy chief executive of Age Action Ireland said:"We need to celebrate the fact that we are living longer;that ageing is not such a burden but an opportunity. I would like to encourage as many people as possible around the country to take part in Positive Age Week."

During Positive Age Week, people are encouraged to organise parties that celebrate the elderly. They can be anything from a small family gathering to a street a street party. A nominated fundraiser at each party will accept donations from those attending.

Age Action Ireland is the national independent organisation on ageing and older people. Its main aim is to improve the quality of life of older people especially those who are most disadvantaged and vulnerable by enabling them to live, full independent and satisfied lives for as long as they wish to stay in their own homes.

Positive Age Week will run from Monday 8th-Sunday 15th December 2008. To register as a fundraiser for Positive Age Week contact Lorraine Dorgan on 012345678 or visit http://www.ageaction.ie/.

my view of the online sex industry

2008-12-02T04:20:00.000-08:00

It has to be the most popular industry. I think of all the celebrity rumours of making sex videos and putting them up on the net. How many times has Paris Hilton been accused of it, along with Britney Spears....the list goes on.Long gone are the days where pornography was to be purchased in a sex shop now all your need is the Internet and a computer...The buck don't stop at at pornography but in sex goods and toys even as far online prostitution!!

"As a part of globalization, women and children are increasingly becoming commodities to be bought, sold, and consumed by organized crime rings, tourists, military personnel, and men seeking sexual entertainment or non-threatening marriage partners. Through financial and technological interdependence, the sex industry and the Internet industry have become partners in the global sexual exploitation of women and children. Those with power are using new information technologies to expand their capacity to exploit women and girls throughout the world" This according to Donna M. Hughes of the Technology and Society Magazine, proves the point that al you need is access to the web. Just as easy as buying a chocolate bar........

I'd love to get......

I'd love to get my hands on a book that tells you what your dreams mean or symbolise. I always have really strange dreams and I've always thought what does that mean?? I'd love to get one.! My dreams are always remembered. =]

social networking

2008-11-16T12:10:00.000-08:00

"A social network service focuses on building online communities of people who share interests and activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others. Most social network services are web based and provide a variety of ways for users to interact, such as e-mail and instant messaging services." according to wikipedia.

The social network service i use most in my hotmail e-mail address. It helps me keep in contact with my mam & dad now as I live down in Dundalk during the week. It lets me know what comments I have got on bebo and birthday reminders also. =)

Family Gatherings.....

2008-11-16T11:40:00.001-08:00

This weekend i am here down in Offaly for a family "get together" for my grandads anniversary. OH it has been so eventful.... I'm the eldest grandchild and the only female grandchild.....exciting stuff. I had to choose whether to go out and play hide and seek with the boys or stay in and talk about the "good awl days" with the awl folks.......... what options eh??? so i decided to blog instead.

Friends....

2008-11-13T05:37:00.000-08:00

There comes a stage in everyones life when they realise who their real friends are.Who is the one person that is there when you need them most, who is there to put a smile on your face when you are feeling down. That moment was brought to my attention yesterday. I found out which friend I could rely on and the one who let me down. It's hard when you're hurt and you realise that the one person you thought would be the first running to you was infact the last.

Work Work Work!!

2008-11-06T01:36:00.000-08:00

I'm in college all week and i have just realised i go home to work. How depressing!! I get home on a friday evening absolutely recked from the crazy Thursday night and reality hits me......I've to work! I work in a pub and oh dear its so time consuming! I then work saturday night. I do be so tired on a sunday going back to Dundalk to go to college for the week. I hate when I have other things i'd love to go to during the weekend but i cant because of WORK!

For example, last weekend it was my aunts hen party. I'm one of her bridesmaids (or mermaids as she likes to call us), so I had to be there. I found it so hard to get the night off work. Yesterday my two uncles came home from Australia and i couldn't go and see them as I am in college all week! Now this weekend my family are all going down to Offaly to see them in my grannys house...........GUESS WHAT i can't..........DUE TO WORK!!

The following wekend it's my grandads anniversary and once again the whole family are going down to spnd time with the family and all that jazz and I have to work..... How am I going to get it off?? It's all busy busy busy this month as the following weekend it's my aunts wedding...................oh dear.... what am i going to do??

The "New Desperate Housewives"

2008-10-15T08:26:00.000-07:00

Did anyone see the new series of Desperate Housewives? I thought it was so different to the last series. A lot has changed and a lot of questions have arose in my head such as why did this happen and who is he? The storyline has completely changed with gabrielle with two kids and Susan and Mike split up...... It's crazy!!
