RW Announcement!
For those who participated in Yay Day, your cards are now ready! Collect them immediately by following this link.edit; 24th October 2009:
I’m back! My new site is http://tintedlens.wordpress.com/
Unfortunately, my time has come for me to move on from blogging.
I’ll miss you all heaps, and I hope you guys excel in whatever you do.
Thankyou so much for always being there for me and being great friends. I’ll never forget all the good times we had.
I know it’s kinda annoying quitting on 46,000 hits…only a few more hits away from 50,000, what I always wanted to get, but my time has come.
I’m sorry I have to put you through this, but school’s pummelling on the pressure and I want to enjoy life away from the computer too.
Remember, believe in yourself, no matter how high that dream may seem, you can reach it and you can get it. Go for your dreams, if you believe it you can acheive it.
Goodbye and thankyou for everything!
For the last time…
♥ Josh >>FYLL =]

HPOE!
I promised Ilan I’d do a review for his blog ages ago, so here it is, enjoy xD I’m being a bit harsher because I was far to easy on the other kid…Brett, was it?

DESIGN
Ilan has bought Custom CSS for his blog, so he is able to personalise the blog. He uses the Pool theme, and the colour scheme appears to be red, black and dark-ish blue. The red text on the black background is far too contrasting, and hurts the reader’s eyes. A paler tone would work better. The background of the site is red and black abstract shapes on a plain blue background. It is artistic, but not very interesting. The Header looks good, and appeals to the viewer. The font used is sometimeshard to read, and some text does not show. The search button appearing on the top of the page looks messy and out of place. The comment box also looks messy.
Rating – *** – Could be better, but is good nonetheless.
CONTENT
Ilan posts often, most of the time posting several times a week. His posts range from short posts of less than 100 words to longer posts about deeper things. His posts are extremely well written and informative and you can tell that alot of effort has been put into them. He has many contests which engage his viewers, and pictures in most of his posts. However, sometimes his posts are too short, and therefore are not recognized by many viewers. Ilan, like Brett, needs to work on longer posts, even if they aren’t so often. His pages are also well thought out.
Rating – **** – Extremely good,but inconsistent length is a problem.
OVERALL
Ilan’s Redcowz Blog is a fantastic blog and I encourage you to read it. It has well-thought out posts and marvellous artwork, though the design of the site could be improved. Ilan also deletes many comments and needs to work on replying and interacting more with his viewers. It is a very good blog, nonetheless.
OVERALL RATING…… ***1/2

Have fun!

Ello!
Sorry I’ve been super busy, sorry for not posting since Feb, like ten days ago lol.
BTW there was an EARTHQUAKE IN VICTORIA ON FRIDAY NIGHT at 8:56pm! I felt it! It was 4.6 or 4.7 on the Richter Scale. I was freaking out because I’ve never experienced an earthquake before. Luckily, no damage was done, no lives lost.
I can’t think what to post about, so here’s a little vid to keep you entertained. We watched it in Science. We’ve been learning about the brain. The right side of the brain controls the left side of your body, and vice-versa for the left side of the brain. The left side is the maths science etc side, and the right sie is the creative side.
So we watched this video to see what side of the brain we were using mostly. If the girl in the video spins CLOCKWISE, you are using the right-side of your brain – if she spins COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, you are using the left side of the brain.
Note down in a comment what side you are using, then see if you can get her to change direction (hint: change your thoughts) and make her stand completely still! (I couldn’t do it, but some people can)
Enjoy.

Hey!
Let’s have a mini competition – who can find a Googlewhack!!!
What is a Googlewhack? Basically, it’s a Google Search where you type in two terms (that must be actual words) and they come up with exactly one search result.
Here is another explanation from answerbag.com
A Googlewhack is a Google search query consisting of two words–both of which must be in Google’s dictionary, and without quotation marks–that returns a single result. A successful Googlewhack returns ‘Results 1-1 of (any number)’. Googlewhacking is the pastime of seeking such a result. A person attempting to find a Googlewhack is known as a Googlewhacker.
Yuppers.
So, go out and search for those Googlewhacks, and post your progress as comments here. Take a screenshot of the search, because chances are once you comment the query, it will become 2 search results. Lol.
To screenshot your GoogleWhack, press the Print Screen button on your key board, open up Paint, paste, crop, save, then upload it to Photobucket, Imageshack, WordPress, Tinypic, etc, then plunk the link on here.
When I go Googlewhacking, I use really old dictionaries and type in obscure words.
Click here for the Google Dictionary.
People who get a Googlewhack might receive a present from me =]
Have fun!
Josh
