Molly – Expensive Wednesdays
https://expensivewednesdays.wordpress.com/author/expensivewednesdays
I have officially finished my course on Codecademy! Just in time for the end of the semester! In saying that, though, I think I still have a long way to go! Much more practice is needed! But still, very proud 🙂. With this in mind, and as the semester and this project come to an end (in an official, assessable capacity), I want to take the time to draw some conclusions about this experience. The point is, no one should feel pressured to do something a certain way. Do what works for you! It’s actually bee...

Exploring the Darknet (Not Literally) – Expensive Wednesdays
https://expensivewednesdays.wordpress.com/2015/10/20/exploring-the-darknet-not-literally
Exploring the Darknet (Not Literally). This week we touched on the concept of the Darknet and I thought I’d do a little more investigation into what this actual is and how it works. Firstly, there is often confusion about the difference between the Deep Web and the Darknet. The Deep Web refers to all parts of the Internet which cannot be indexed by search engines, and so can’t be found through Google. Source: http:/ cryptorials.io/how-to-access-the-deep-web-or-darknet-a-beginners-guide/. Something like T...

Trying to Decide Whether IoT is Cool or Creepy – Expensive Wednesdays
https://expensivewednesdays.wordpress.com/2015/10/21/trying-to-decide-whether-iot-is-cool-or-creepy
Trying to Decide Whether IoT is Cool or Creepy. It is quite scary to think about where the Internet of Things (IoT) is taking us, and I had a lot of conflicting thoughts this week. I decided to create this infographic that looks at both sides of the coin, to get us all thinking a bit about some of its positive opportunities as well as potentially negative consequences. Hackers can do a lot with a little info, and it’s scarily easy for them to do, as shown in this post from The Globe And Mail:. 8220;As on...

Update: I Thought The Internet Hated Me But It Turned Out It Was My Macbook – Expensive Wednesdays
https://expensivewednesdays.wordpress.com/2015/10/07/update-i-thought-the-internet-hated-me-but-it-turned-out-it-was-my-macbook
Update: I Thought The Internet Hated Me But It Turned Out It Was My Macbook. Luckily, my trusty boyfriend recommended Brackets. To me Brackets is a text editor designed specifically for HTML coding. Once you’ve written your code, you can click the Live Preview button to test it. It’s pretty handy and is making this process much easier! Now that I have this working, I need to go back to practising because I have broken something in my code and I need to work out how to fix it. October 7, 2015. Error: Twit...

I Finally Started Learning HTML And It’s Going Pretty Great! So the whole point of this project was so I could learn to program, and last week I finally had the time to sit down and start doing it. And it’s actually pretty cool! After researching the billion different programming languages, I decided that HTML and CSS would be the best way to go for my purposes. HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language,. Is what’s used to make it pretty. Structuring HTML. So bodies, headings, paragraphs etc. Where it d...

Gender Dynamics in Sportscasting | Great Expectations
https://chantelliem.wordpress.com/2016/06/06/gender-dynamics-in-sportscasting
And trying to live up to them. Follow Great Expectations on WordPress.com. Gender Dynamics in Sportscasting. This podcast analyses whether increasing numbers of female sports journalists correlate with improved treatment of said sportscasters. Much of the empirical research focuses on data from the United States, but I gave the project an Australian focus by using case studies from the Australian media. I modelled this podcast after ABC Triple J radio program,. June 6, 2016. Gender and the Newsroom.

Learning More About CSS and Getting Confused – Expensive Wednesdays
https://expensivewednesdays.wordpress.com/2015/10/30/learning-more-about-css-and-getting-confused
Learning More About CSS and Getting Confused. So I’m going along very nicely with my CSS skills, however it’s starting to get a bit tricky. I’ve learnt a few new things about CSS over the last few days, one being branching. Branching is basically how all your HTML elements “branch out” like a tree – a family tree, as Codecademy. On the other hand, are for when you want a specific, unique styling for one specific element. It’s a lot to take in. It sounds really simple but what’s making it ...Fill in your ...

Making Things Pretty with CSS – Expensive Wednesdays
https://expensivewednesdays.wordpress.com/2015/10/25/making-things-pretty-with-css
Making Things Pretty with CSS. So I’ve got the basics of HTML down and I’ve been practising away (I would like to say that’s why I haven’t posted about my project over the last two weeks, but that would be a lie – I’ve just been really slack). But anyway, I’m back in action now and starting to learn CSS! It makes it easier to make mass changes to a HTML file, and it also makes it easier to make things nicer in general. That’s why HTML and CSS usually go hand in hand. The syntax of CSS. I’ve also pr...
