It is the sharing and publishing of photos with the format of a blog. The Photoblog designer may choose to have text but it is mostly limited to a title and category. A Photoblog contains mostly images. Sometimes the photos look original but on some occasions it is very obvious to tell that they have been photoshopped. It is a diary about pictures using images.

Exploring web editors
Exploring Web Editors
1. What is a web editor?
A web editor/text editor is a program where you can create and edit text files. The two main categories that web editors fall into are:
· A line editor: You have to first choose a specific line before you can edit/make changes to it;
· Screen-oriented editor/Full screen editor: With this editor you can choose to edit any text on a page by moving your cursor over it.
2. What is the relationship between a web editor and HTML?
They are both used when making a web page to make it more organized and so it can actually have information and content on the page.
3. What is Dreamweaver? Write down at least three important features of the product.
Dreamweaver is software that can also be used to make Web pages that is not HTML.
Three important features of this product are:
· It allows viewers to preview websites;
· Gives you the ability to edit or replace text or code;
· You can virtually create a website.
4. Find out two examples of web editors different from Dreamweaver.
Two examples of other web editors different:
1. Komodo Edit
2. Aptana Studio
And they are both free.
5. What is the difference between a web site and a web page?
· A website is a collection of web pages, pictures, text and video or anything digital that can be addressed to a URL;
· A web page is a resource of information that can be found on the WWW (World Wide Web) and it can be accessed through a web browser and is displayed on a monitor.
6. What is a web browser and why do you need for opening web pages?
It is a software application that is used for showing, transferring and getting information onto the WWW and it is needed when opening web pages because it is connected to the World Wide Web and it’s a system where you can enter the code.
7. What is a web server (please find the definition as a computer and as software)? Why do we need one when creating web sites?
It is a computer program that can be used for delivering content through HTTP onto the WWW.
8. What is a domain name?
a. Explain the parts of the domain names
b. What is the relationship between a domain name and a URL?
8) A domain name is an ID label that represents control on the internet based on the Domain Name System. It represents one or more IP addresses and they are used in URL’s to find specific web pages.
a.
1. The top-level domain which would be .com in www.google.com;
2. The sub domain which would be www in www.google.com;
3. The hostname which would be www.google.com and google.com because domain name needs at least one IP address.
b. A domain name identifies certain web pages and a URL is an already identified resource.

Exploring HTML-Reflection
1. What is HTML?
2. Why do we need HTML for creating web pages?
3. Did you find HTML a good option for creating your digital portfolio?
4. What do you think about your first site created? What are the strengths, what could you have done better?

1.
It is used to describe how text and images should be seen by a viewer and it is what is used to actually construct a web page.
2.
Html is needed when making web pages because without it there would not be any content on the page. It is also needed because then the web pages would not be organized.
3.
HTML was a very good option for making my Digital Portfolio because it was easy to use once I got the hang of using it. I was able to put all the pictures I wanted on it and have all the relevant information I needed as well. I could also include tables and bullet points which I found to be an interesting characteristic for this program because it helped me organize my information well.
4.
I thought that my site was not plain with only white as a background color but I used different font colors as well as a black background. It turned out very well and it was just as good as I had imagined although it was impossible to get more font colors on the page rather than just blue or grey. It had a lot of color but if I were to do it again I would probably try and concentrate more on the information I include rather than the appearance of the actual site but still have it look good.
