The basics of quikmaps. This is the first 'stepping stone' to mashups.
What is a mashup, you ask? I'll get back to you on that one...

FlypMedia
Looking at the way FlypMedia sets up their site, the first thing I notice about it is how 'clean-cut' the format is. We talked about this in class, so I definitely noticed this after the lecture last week. I think it's really cool how they have their own podcast, because I don't see that a lot on different media sites, so this was a first.
I think out of most of the topics that I read about on Flyp was the one about the famous photographer Dan Winters. I'm a huge camera buff, so even though I hadn't heard of
Dan Winters before, I had already seen some of his photos in the past, and his work really is something.
Check out this video I found about Dan Winters on youtube!
FlypMedia reminds me of a less celebrity-obsessed RadarOnline, in that Flyp is more focused on politics and other topics like going green.
Oops, I just realized I linked out to another site not associated to Flyp, oh well. Everybody loves Radar though, right? Oops, I did it again.
Also, the colors used for Flyp's site suits the universal feel of the site; not too flashy, but still serious in its content with just the right amount of sarcasm every journalistic site should own up to. Reminds me of how I should probably change the colors on this blog; gotta set the mood.

Hello Blogger World!
This is my first blog. Any other bloggers claiming to be are not me; this is officially Christa's first blog :). I'm not too sure what 'linking' means, but I am assuming that either means to post a link up in here that leads to another site of relation to this class, or to 'follow' another blogger on this site? Not too sure....Hm. I guess I shall find out soon enough aka tomorrow during class.....
