The First Noticeable Difference if the Ease on the Eyes, some people find the "Eye Candy" a preference, ive personally found the HTML simple version of sites to generally be more focused on the info, and less on the artsy fanciness...

that being said their formats differ to, and i find both are good, the Diigo one seems to be Active where as teh html one isnt, so if people prefer to comment and be interactive the diigo one would be prefered, its good to allow people to comment and interact rather than just acess info to get a greater perspective even if one dosnt join in with the convo's or content :)

Why? Whats Caused this Fear in the Global Political Elite of Normal people like you that is making the Global Political Elite Call Bloggers Terrorists and Using Assassinations against the Truthers?

Simple Answer... TRUTH is spreading like wildfire, TRUTH about all the Political Elites Dirty little Secrets....
His own Words Tell this here that the Political Elites biggest fear is a magnetic personality online that will inform and motivate, uniting the masses of truthers and bewildered sheep and lead a reveloution against the Evil Corrupt Political Elite

Copyright Website Content

If everyone Was Reporting the news, Offering Educational Critique, Comment, Scholarship and Research, Copyright laws wouldn't Exist on the net, but the problem with that is almost everyone's out to make a buck$$$... Do the Right thing and everything would be free instead of filling Rich peoples Pockets...

5 Stars
Note : Quoted from Fair Use Above Link
his first factor looks at the new work takes into account the following three sub-factors.

1. Commercial nature or non-profit educational purposes.
2. Preamble Purposes
   • Criticism
   • Comment
   • News reporting
   • Teaching
   • Scholarship
   • Research

Now i do everything for non profit reasearch and educational purposes, i dont charge for anything, nor do i plan to ever charge for any info on content provided on my websites or blogs, I'm doing Uni to get a Bachelor of Psychology and Bachrlor of Internet Media so i can report the news and cover every Criteria Quoted Above, As such i totally Ignore Copyright... :) altho i don't intentionally just plagiarize, i plan to Quote, and Link All sources, and offer anyone the opportunity to correct anything or engage in offering direction and guidance on use of any material they may have copyrighted, however i would fight anyone demanding total removal and not being able to link or modify because that would be in contradiction of the above law's which i'm working hard to comply with...

Ide offer everyone to begin their own Research/news/nonprofit website for educational critique purposes that allows them to post any copyrighted material, and then just link that site to their main site rather than messing around with copyright laws :)

WWW Standards

Reviewing 3 Links
* http://www.useit.com/papers/webwriting/
This site had lots of good tips and insights, however always remember your web pages are made for an audience and if the audience doesn't care about what most web users react to... then even tho most passers by may only stop for 4 seconds... your target audience will usually stay longer :) however if your looking to pick up randoms, or getting in to sales and marketing this link is valuable, if your already proficient and think your ok with your audience and web format this link will still probably have a few pointers
4 stars


* http://www.dartmouth.edu/~webteach/articles/text.html
This link is more orientated towards your target audience, its still keeping it simple enough for new people and quick scanning however its simplicity allows most passers by to find your info interesting enough and useful enough to bookmark, and once u get bookmarked its just a matter of time till their back... If you can offer the Info in a manner thats Simple yet effective, and allowing for more precise follow ups to come later through the links and navigation in time your content will be put to use, The simple approach is usually the most effective, just dont drop or dull your creativity... their is still a lot of refining to be done to get such valuable info in to a format thats easilly digestable and suitable for repeat grazing by your followers :)
3.5 stars

Top 5... Well 4 are great but i'm going to Edit Number 2 :p
2, Links... Depending on the Setup, Design, and Content Different linking methods are good for different situations...
For Example if your target audience are computer illiterate then having an email with "Click here" to link it is helpful....
Generally you can also just Link a Word or Phrase, even Paragraph without having to Blurb it if its in the middle of info "or Rambling follow up comments"
Just remember to always be creative with your links... pictures, Click here, or just having words link like wiki dose is app part of Ease of use and nothing should be ruled out or set in stone , your the master of your web page...
3.5 Stars

Overall the Consensus is Keep it Simple, Keep it Easily Referencable, Easily Scannable, and Easy on the Eyes...

My personal Tip is Think of a Webpage like a Birthday Cake... If it looks like the best cake u could have gotten on your Birthday then your allready loving it before you've tasted it... :)
From then on the Cake has to Taste Real bad for you to begin not liking it, so always make the First impression Simple, Creative, Beautiful and above all Make it have Special Appeal so everyone feals like they just got their very own Surprise Birthday Cake :)

Web Page

Index.Html

Record any difficulties you encountered with these exercises. Record your thoughts about html - do you feel a sense of achievement? What are the differences between html and blogging? what do you like best?

I found it hard to center a single pic in the background with tiles around it, staying static.... like layering a second pic ontop of the tiles just to be a single pic centered in the middle, and not moving when scroling... ill keep playing till i get it tho...

Its been a while since ive done any HTML its like riding a bike once u no how... i didnt make any stuffups till i tried to workout how to center an extra immage in the background without tiles and that wouldent move when u scroled :o

Bloggings likes an online Journal, good for Updating, and Web pages are more for completed content or Expanded linked archives, basically blogs are a neich area, but just dont cut it for anything more complex than a journal-log... one needs the complexity of the HTML-Web to make more content acessable

Eventually i will use both Blogs and Web, For different Purposes, Blog for updates on news, events and activities, but a webpage for everything elce which covers Books, Videos, Interviews, Pix and loads more all Easily Archived and Acessable, the Blog will be used to Highlight Recent Adds and wont be used to Archive, Order, or Comprihend the Complexity's

I'm Back...

The House Settled :)
Lots of Debt and the bank really owns it but its cheaper than rent...

Woot, Furnature will be in this weekend, Still got a few things to do next week... but should be Golden by the end of the week, and back online as usuall
