  • Complying with the rules and regulations of an online space
  • Making sure that the content you share is tasteful and not at all offensive
  • Being sure to follow appropriate copyright practices where applicable

 

Tagging and Cateogrising

Tagging and Categorising are useful ways of bringing together similar information into the one place to make it easily accessible for Internet users. Tags are usually assigned informally by viewers and creators, and with the rise of Web 2.0 and social media have become a crucial feature of many of these networks.
Initially developed in the early 1980s as a way of indexing information, tags didn’t take on the form that they are known in now until services such as Flickr and Delicious revolutionised the way in which they were used in approximately 2003.
Tagging and Categorising are now the main way that we relate information to other similar information today on the internet.

Video post

The following post was meant to be a video of a student discussing the definition of a blog. However, as I was unable to upload this video to a video-sharing website, I’ve had to pick out this video to demonstrate my ability to embed a video within a post. This video is under a creative commons public domain copyright license, meaning that I am able to use it without referencing the artist it belongs to.
