This page has
been created for the owner to provide readers with information on different Anthropological
backgrounds and races around the world that has been linked to her
‘Anthropology is the most humanistic of the sciences and the most scientific of
the humanities’ (Kroeber, n.d.). The readers
can get easy access to different information on which will be a new entry each
time for a different post. The central
node of the page is the blogging page itself and the contributing nodes are all
linked to the central node. The owner of
the page does not have any software programming skills and does not need to
because they are not required, when creating a web presence on the web. ‘A blog in many ways a continuing
conversation’ (Sullivan, n.d.).
The central node
of which is Blogger.com will primarily be the blogging page that will accommodate
and have inputs from the contributing nodes which are youtube.com, Facebook and
twitter. The theme selected for the Blog,
is a free theme I downloaded of the web. The theme was selected for its earthy
and nude colour scheme that complements the site content. The theme included a simple drawing of plant
life that gave a feel of tree’s growing from the earth which went with my blog
Title ‘Faces on Earth’. The feel of the blog is to make the readers be at peace
and calm when reading the information of the site, hence no bright shocking
font colours were chosen.
The selection of
the tools in the web 2.0 for the contributing nodes all are clearly linked to
the page owner. The site does not allow anonymity this is to identify the source
of the information or content. The web page allows other bloggers/ readers to
leave comments but still in which the page owner can justify unwanted
comments. The site also allows the
readers the access of the web presence about page, Blogging anonymously still
can be traced from the IPaddress (Bailey, 2011). The about pages are basically
what and why the blog was created and personal information about the owner
example, name, age and photograph.
The photographs
from the site are gotten from different webpages in the internet all which is
references at the end of a blog post. The images selected were used to enhance
the viewer’s view and understanding on what an entry was about. This is also so
the readers can get a clearer view of the topic chosen. Related Videos of blog entry was also used by
the page owner. The videos were obtained from different channels on one of the
contributing nodes which was youtube.com.
One of the three
contributing nodes on the page is youtube.com the readers can click the video’s
in the video bar on the right on the screen of the site to get instant access
to different related videos on the subject matter. The video bar icon works as
a hub for Youtube.com for the readers to get direct access to a video they have
chosen, this additional node also allows the users to view the video without
them opening a new tab or leaving the blog site this makes it easier for all
the readers when navigating through the blog.
Another contributing
node is Facebook .com, aside from easy access to Facebook, the readers are
allowed to send and share the page with other friends on Facebook. The side bar
of widgets allows this in a push of a button the readers can access their Facebook
page and link up the blog however they wish to. The last contributing node or
widget rather is twitter the tweet icon allows the users to tweet the page on
their twitter account, the tweet button not only allows blogger on blogger.com
to tweet the page but also to other readers reading in on the web presence
postings.
These contributing
nodes reflect the theme of the web presence creation because the posts need a
lot of video and images to show the different races. The nodes help enhance the understanding of
each entry. In terms of central node, Blogger.com as a central node is a good
platform for blogging because it is easy to access and the functions given are
easy to understand and use. By creating
a central node the contributing nodes will all be in a hub this will centralise
the widgets and utilise usage of the central node.
