#10 On Line Image Generators

It is interesting to see the different sites that are available. Some links were a little confusing, but I thought that some of the animations on JellyMuffin.com were interesting. I chose this Winter based snowflakes falling (http://www.jellymuffin.com/icons/seasons/) - I'm a Winter and love snow, so I thought it appropriate. Still going on this stage though! I also attempted to make an animated image, but the blog didn't seem to like the html when I added it. Will try again!



JellyMuffin.com - The place for profile layouts, flash generators, glitter graphics, backgrounds and codes
Myspace Codes


I tried making a button on Cool Text: Generator Image which was quite interesting.

#9 Virtual Worlds

Interesting to have a look at these. I knew they existed and have avoided them generally due to the nature of these sites - addictive to some. It is a funny thing, but I can see the attraction to use a virtual world. Second Life and WoW are known to me and students have often talked about them. I think this is part of the reason that I have not looked at them before now. It is a bit like Chat Rooms and Social Networking Sites. I am hesitant to use them. In this case, the potential to meet up with a student is actually quite high in the virtual world, but it is likely that you don't know the identity of the person behind the avatars that you meet.

A fascinating concept though. If I had the time to explore one, I think it would be a lot of fun.

#8 iGoogle

I have seen this before and it seems to have a lot of options. I have a hamster on mine. Cute! I also have a game of memory - one of my favourite as a child.

Having the different features available - by selection is a great feature. This can enable more control of what you are wanting to access, not just doing general searches, but rather focused depending on the category.

I like that it is able to be personalised. Looking forward to how it will look in the day over the night!
