Class Material

Now that the semester is coming to a end on my final post, I would like to talk about some of the class material that kind of stuck with me. I was never really knowledgable with the computer until taking this course. Since taking this course I now know what a blog is, how to conduct a blog, and how to put templates, links, and advertising sites on a blog. Also like I stated in my last post, I also feel very comfortable with wikipedia editing, Professor Brown has really helped me understand everything that there is with wikipedia.

This has been a big learning experience for me, and I will take this information with me in life. I hope this class has helped everyone else as much as it has helped me.

Wrap up of Jeff Samardzija article

When editing this article, I noticed that most of the changes that I made stayed. I think this is because most of Jeff's decisions about the future were made last year and a lot of people have said all they could say about Jeff. As he continue's is professional baseball career. I will continue to edit his article, because he is such an interesting guy.

All in all, this has been a very enjoyable experience for me with the whole editing on wikipedia. I never knew that anyone could edit any article, as long as they are a member.

Wrap up of Rhema McKnight

After editing Rhema's article I noticed that really nothing that I added or edited was ever changed. This is because, this is not a very popular article that people seem to look at. I found it more difficult to edit or add to his article, because I didn't have that much information about him. I probably will not continue to edited his article unless he goes to the NFL, where more people would know about him.

Commenting on Ryan Isbert's Blog

After looking over Ryan's blog, what really stuck out to me is all the pictures that he post when conducting an article. It may sound silly, but I really think it makes the blog look that much more professional. In the future I will start putting more pictures into my blog's, because I feel it makes that much more of a difference.

Commenting on Matt Corritori blog

After looking at Matt's blog I noticed after reading his wrap up on JaMarcus Russel, that he is a little discouraged about how most of his edits on wikipedia have either been deleted or edited. When one is editing an article that is very popular like JaMarcus one has to expect that there information is goin to be changed constantly. I also had Brady Quinn's article changed a lot as well.

Commeting on Ryan Dzielak's blog

After looking at Ryan blog, I found one article about search engines very interesting. He talks about how new search engines might affect google and yahoo. I believe that it may make a little impression, but in all reality it won't hurt either of these two sites. It's always a possibility, but I won't make to much of it.

By going to http://rdizblog.blogspot.com/ one can read even more about this situation.

Wrap up of Charlie Weis article

Almost all the information that I gave on Charlie Weis is still available in wikipedia. This makes me feel good, because it is information that I gave. I feel that his article is viewed a lot, but not as much as others. As long as I have information to give about Charlie Weis, I will continue to edit his article.
