my final post

This will be my last post for this blog.  It is the end of the semester, and this class is only a semester long.  I look back on my first posts, and i realize how much this class has taught me.  All the things I have learned in this class, i can teach to another person.  I'm wouldn't change a thing on how Mrs. James taught us.  She showed us some of the most interesting and useful websites.  This class overall was extremely useful.  Well i bid you adieu.

Kerpoof

Kerpoof is a site that lets u draw pictures. Its a pretty fun site.

Even though this web site is directed at young children, it's still a cute little site.  If i was old enough to have a child I'd definitely have my little boy or girl play on this site.


You can do several things at Kerpoof.com. You can make a movie, a card, a drawing, a picture and a story. So no doubt it will be hard for a person to get bored on this site.

Firefox addons

The coolest add on i found was called Destroy the Web.  Its a download that lets you choose any page and "destroy" it, but after the game is done the page goes back to normal.  After you download the add on a little button gets put on your toolbar.

This is a really fun game, and you can use this and challenge your friends and see who destroys the web better.

This is Google.com after I "destroyed" it.

This is the window that pops up telling you your score.

If you use Firefox as a browser then you should totally download this add on.

Favicon

Favicon is pretty cool, it lets you change the little icon next to the URL.

Lets you go from This:



To this:



Its really cool because it lets you customize the icon for your blog or business website.  I think everyone should know about this tool, because this is something that lots of people would love.

Go To Favicon!

Domains

A domain is a custom web address for a web site.  If I owned a business and wanted the web URL to be short simple and easy, I'd go to any web domain site to get it changed to something else.  Its always better to choose a name that's short and easy for people to remember.  Some domain sites are expensive, but some are cheap.  The blogger domains cost only $10 dollars a year, which I'd say is a pretty good price.  A domain name is something I'd use if i owned a business, so if you own a business i suggest you be thinking about getting a domain name for your URL.

Google Alerts

Google alerts can be useful if u want to get emails about a certain subject.  What you do is you go to the Google alerts page, then you type in a subject.













If you want you can preview the results.














Then if you want you can create the alert, and whenever google finds something to do with the subject it will send you an email with the page.  This is something for Gmail accounts only.  Its really cool and it can be really useful.

Google Alerts!
