Nearing the end

nearing the end of the MPI104 class and of my first semester of uni i have to say its been a different experience from alot of other things i have done, school is difenitley alot different from uni and i now have the knowledge not to leave things till the last minute

Counters

I have now added a counter to my blogpage to keep track of the amount of hits i recieve on my blog!! its not the most aesthically pleasing counters but the wasn't much of a choice there.

RSS feeds

RSS feeds allow for you to view updates on your favorite pages as they happen you can post these feeds on your website, blogs and also through things such as iTunes this makes it so that you dont have to go to the site to view any current news and that you can view everything you need from the one blog, website ect.

Figured out Technorati

So i finally worked out how this thing works it goes by link and the more links the more authority so by linking to each others pages we could all share the authority around and boost the ranking a little. so to link to each other just go to the customize menu then add a page element then link list and add people this will gain them technorati and hopefully they wiull return the favour

NEED AUTHORITY!!

favourite me to technorati so i get more authority
go to the little button at the bottom of the page and press it!!

FTP Blog

FTP as its name suggests is used to transfer files over the internet between a network such as an internet provider or a Local Area Network. FTP may be used to transfer all types of files and is main component in downloading music off the internet. Some of the advantages of FTP include:
*Easy access to files that you might normally not have access to
*Fast and efficient

The main purpose of FTP is to transfer files from one computer to another this allows easy access to files when needed, although useful FTP has many flaws such as:
*passwords and file content are sent in clear text and can be seen by others who may steal these ideas or eavesdrop on personal information
*If a file is being transfered and is interrupted there is no way for the receiver to know if the file is complete or not

Although there are many risks with FTP there are ways to minimize these risks such as:
*Using protocol enhancements such as Kerberos to stop eavesdroppers
*Use of extensions such as MD5 sum to calculate whether a file is complete or not
