Experience on Blog

After a couple of days of using the blog, I learned how to manage and use my blog. I thought that the blog will be difficult but it was actually easy. I learned the difference between a blog and a post. I learned that a blog is a new webpage and a post is something you write on a specific topic on your post. I experienced how to add links on my blog to access to other useful websites. In addition I experienced the bad and good web designs. I learned that the background on your page can sometimes interrupt with the text and make it difficult to read. I learned that a blog can be used to share personal experiences as well as hobbies. A blog could also be used to write about specific topics. I could a post whenever I want on my blog, as many times as I want. I could give feedback about someone’s post by posting a comment on their post.

The blog should have the following

4 posts • 2 external Links

• 2 images • Background Design • 2 Comments

• Color Contrast—Font style/ Font Color

• Each post 10-15 sentences • Eastern Time Zone •Non-materials must deleted

Bad/Good design features

After reading the articles, I learned how to manage and better my webpage by adding and deleting things that needed. I learned that the background on your page can sometimes interrupt with the text and make it hard to read. The text also has to be a good size to read, not too small and not too big. I learned that useless page titles that don't explain what the page is about make your page hard to read. Navigation buttons and bars should be easy to understand and use. Also it’s a bad feature to have useless graphics that don’t mean anything. I understand that underlining text is not a link. Blinking and animations on your page are bad features. All of the pages need the immediate visual impact within 800 x 600 pixels. Overall I learned what my page should look like. I learned what not to do to my page, and also what to do in order to improve my page.

Wind Turbine Project

I learned many things in the wind turbine project. First off I learned what a wind turbine was. A wind turbine is a rotary device that extracts energy from the wind. It's  machine that captures the energy of the wind and transfers the motion to an electric generator shaft. I learned that the wind turbine converts the kinetic energy of wind into mechanical energy. I learned that the wind turbine needed a strong base in order to mantaine itself and also to produce energy. A wind turbine usually has two to three blades. The blades are  turned by the wind to turn the generator and produce an electrical output. The wind turbine converts kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy. I learned how to consrtruct a wind turbine that will make mechanical energy, and power a generator.
