Developing Skills In Digital Technology.

Blogspot.

• I had previously created blogs on the blogger website but by creating one to update regularly for a purpose rather than recreation has proved more difficult than I had expected.
• Initially, I had difficulty aquiring a URL because so many had been taken. I also had difficulty signing in to my google account. Fortunately I was able to retrieve the password and gain access to my google account.
• When I wanted to change the design of my blog I found this David Bowie layout as a HTML code through a google search. When I pasted the code into the box, an automated message informed me that the xml codes were incomplete and that the code wasn't well written. Because of this, I had to go back to basics and fully customise an existing template. 
• I read through the existing HTML to find the background and image header as well as the colour codes for the theme. I then inserted this into the template code in order to emulate the code that didn't work.
• By using the HTML text editor, I have been able to embed videos into my blog.

YouTube:

• I already had an existing YouTube channel which I was able to upload my comic strip trailer to but I did have to send an email password request.
