Blog 4 Fair Use

Fair use to me is someone elses work used in a legal way. Websites get copyrights for a reason. They have to pay for them. When keeping it fair use when using things from there sites, just credit their website or provide a link taking them directly to the website where you got something from. Just keep things credited and not say that it was all done by yourself and only yourself. Here is a very useful site that explains all about copyrights that will help clarify any questions about them. Click the Pic. As for creative common licensing. It is a non profit organization that has added copyrights to there sites. Here is a nice definition from wikipedia.

another copyrights that I searched and found was; the share-alike which is the term used in the creative common licensing project for copyright licenses. That is, those including a clause requiring that any derived version of the work to be shared on like terms with everyone else that is, "share and share alike".

Here are a few more useful sites to help with copyrights.

Utsystems, staff.ac.uk, and Duke

Blog 3 Website creation

The audience that my website will present will be to all ages. The content of the website will show how my life is, and fun things that I do throughout it. Everyone will enjoy my writings and pictures that will be put on it as well. I hope that it is interesting and creative for all who visit it. I'm hopeing that the colors I choose will stand out nicely and the font that I chose. I want it to spice it up enough so that people won't get bored reading everything about me. There will be a family life section, about me section, school and career, and a reacreation section on my website. There will be links for each of these sections on my home page for everyone to visit. I am even puting a link directly to my blog so everyone can read those as well.

There already are some challenges that I am having right now. Its sometimes difficult to get everyone exactly the same on the template that I am using. It takes time and some skill to keep it the same coloring, design and just change the pictures and words. I'm sure that I will get it down eventually. Gimp is a new software for me and so is sea monkey, so give me a little while and i'll have them down to a science. Enjoy my website when I publish it.

Blog #2 My Three Favorite Websites

My first favorite website is of course http://www.osu.edu.

I like how the site is set up and also the name. Of course I go to school here and i'm a huge OSU fan, so seeing anything OSU is an excitement. I like how the links to things are easy to find and the navigation is organized keeping it easy to get around. I like the updated news and events that appear on the right side, always new and kept updated. I think that something could be added to improve the look, like more pictures, game clips, etc. This would really bring out school spirit and spice of the site and sports. The font and layout is easy to view, and the school colors on it help with school spirit.

Another one of my favorite sites is http://www.shurtugal.com/.

The reason why I like this site is because I am a huge fan of Christopher Paolini. I've read both his books and plan on reading his final book that will compete his trilogy soon to come out this summer. I check this site a lot becuase I keep myself updated on the news and when things will be released. This site is pretty easy to navigate. I don't like all of the ads on the site, but I know that those are things that are required when you use free host to makes websites. I think the font is small in the navigation bar and sometimes with the news reports. I think they need more graphics, but when they put more its nice. I like the backround a lot, because it brings out the eragon theme very well.

My final favorite website is

http://www.google.com.

This is my third favorite website. I know that it is a search engine, but I think that it is the best one. It helps me find anything that I am searching for quickly and I use the image section within it for projects, etc. When first going to this site, it will seem very boring to people, but it is a search engine. I think they could really spice it up by adding a better backround instead of a white one. There isn't much links to other things. The features on the toolbar are really nice, like google maps if you have ever used before is really amazing. Bottom line is that this is a small and boring looking site that provides excellent information and tools for every user.
