Week 8 FTP and such the like...
So..Made some poxy basic web page that stinks....
here..woot..
FTP stands for "Standard Networking Protocol". It dictates how a file is copied over from one host to another on the internet.
Over the years many security issues have been addressed regarding FTP specifications.
A password and/or username must always be used which can sometimes be problematic for individual users.

Dear sXe
[rant] Dear Straight Edge nazis (Not just straight edge people..the scary ones...I like straight edge people ^__^). I do not with to be bombarded with your beliefs in your name, profile, status updates, photos ABOUT the topic, conversations you have ALL THE TIME, blog posts about how great you are compared to me etc etc.
Please get over yourselves. There is NO NEED to flaunt it everywhere and make other people feel bad (or try to anyway) because they are not. You are not part of some exclusive club that you and only you know the secrets to. People have been "Not putting alien substances in their bodies" and "not having aimless sex" FOR CENTURIES! It's just that YOU GUYS feel the need to bang on about it like you're some sort of superior beings..you do NOT need to have it in your name, in fact, I think that makes you MORE of a poser than the people you thing you are better than.
In short: Please stop trying to be all high-and-mighty about the fact that YOU have chosen not to do what everyone else does and has done for years. If I want to drink and smoke and have sex I damn well will.
(Apologies to all my NICE Straight Edge friends who are not scary)

Week 7 CSS and such
Just spent the last fifteen minutes or so...throwing penguins around the screen. Amazing fun.
OK, down to business.
CSS is defined by wiki as: "is a style sheet language used to describe the presentation semantics (that is, the look and formatting) of a document written in a markup language"
...finish this later...sleep-time now.
.....later on....
So basically this means that it is the BASE CODE that is used to design the look or "style" of your page. It is useful in that you can design basic styles and utilise them in more than one place without having to repeat the code over and over again. And extra content that is entered onto the page after the CSS does not effect the original structure, meaning you can chop and change certain parts without the fear of messing with the core structure of your site. This also makes it easy to navigate through the script to make any changes necessary all at once.
A CSS template can be used to easily edit selected parts of the appearance at a single time. Things such as default text colour, titles, default heading and text sizes etc can all be created and edited by using the CSS template.
Although a CSS template is highly helpful in its structure and organisation of styles, it is however limited to predominantly just the styles (ie. fonts, colours etc) and not to any actual layout plans. There are also a few things lacking in CSS currently, such as the ability to determine rounded or non-rectangular corners or shapes, or even generic terms for some table elements.
Accessibility is important for your page in order for it to be published correctly and so that all web users may view it correctly the way it was intended. Your page will not be able to be published unless it meets some strict guidelines and rules as set by the government as far as layout and CSS structure are concerned.
In my blog I have altered much of the table sizing and font colours/family. I'm still working on a few things that I haven't previously had the time for...but I'll get there...
