Add this...

Have been a little slack with an update...

Have just added added some widgets to the blog (I know it's Blog 101, but hey I'm fast catching up!). But wait there's more... I have added it to my blog, through the Add This site (very simple and easy to use... thank you Chris), not once but twice, sidebar, and below blog post via html.

Very cool. Am beginning to enjoy the code aspect, feeling very technical-minded.

Project seems to be coming along, at least via the Posterous posts for the bookstore concept. I'm sure after the first assessment submission, and when we can get face to face (which I hope I haven't missed yet) it will surely rocket along.

Beginnings...cue music!

Just managed to get everything right, and away I'll write.

This is just, for want of a better description, an online journal of my work at the University of Melbourne for the subject Advanced Editing for Digital Media. During this first semester of 2010, I'll be working jointly on a website with several colleagues, and so I will be jotting down the progress of my work and that of my fellow digital natives.

I must mention at this point that after the first meeting (last Tuesday evening) there seemed to be a remarkable convergence on the theme: that of a website detailing all aspects of 'Outdoor Melbourne'.

I think it's a fabulous idea, as it can contain the seeds of such diverse elements and allow them to grow. I think, just to keep the flowering metaphor a little longer, that gardening seemed a passion of one of the instigators of the idea (i've forgotten her name), and so germane as the idea is, this one I believe can sprout.

I think at this early and hazy stage, that each of the members will write content and look after a certain component of the 'Outdoor' site; for instance, gardening, or music and film events outdoors, etc.

The component I'd like to look at and write about is possibly the 'kids and family' angle. So, looking at kid specific events and opportunities outdoors, and then tie in the whole family element as well.

Anyway, will keep the reader posted.
