Delicious {CPL 2.0}

Delicious.com is a website I can easily compare to My Favorites. You just save websites you go to frequently in your Favorites and the next time you log on, it's easier to find these websites. Just like My Favorites, is delicious.com. You can keep a link to delicious.com on the top of your internet (or on your desktop) and can see a list of things you bookmarked.

What are the advantages of storing, sharing, and tagging web content this way? What are the disadvantages?

One advantage of Delicious.com would be the fact that you can find your bookmarks easily on any computer you are on. If you are not on a computer or laptop you own, My Favorites will not work. That's where I like Delicious.com alot. When I am on the internet on a friends, or the library's, computer, I can find the websites I visit easily. If I want to suggest a website I like to my friends, I can just send it over Delicious.com. Even just looking at some of the popular tags got me interested in looking into new things. I also love the fact that I can just sign in on my Yahoo! email account, instead of making a new Delicious account.

Saving bookmarks is also pretty easy. At first it seemed simple, because it only asked for you to write down the URL, like http://www.yahoo.ca/, but later it turned into a couple of more steps. They were not complicated, though. They automatically give you a title for it, and you can write down your own notes for each URL website. You can add tags so you can find certain websites easier, and you can send the new bookmark to friends right away when you add it to your own account. If you want to mark a bookmark as private so only you can see it, the option is right at the end.

A disadvantage of using this would be we cannot limit the vocabulary. A friend tried to save `London` (the city in England) as a tag but it had various results. It showed up as Jack Landon (an American author) and a website of common sight-seeing places you could go to if you were to visit London, England.

All in all, Delicious is a fun and social network to use. But as long as I am on my own computer, My Favorites will always be my first option.

Calling All Fashionista's!

Where do you get your fashion inspiration?

Celebrities always look amazing, but it's hard to re-create their looks with money today. I get my fashion inspirations from real people. Every day I see different people with different styles, and a personality to match. I was inspired when I saw a girl wearing a lace dress with a hardware belt. It was the perfect mix of edgy and sweet. Find some nice tips for your fashion style and size, make-up, hair, and everything else you wanted to know about style, here!

The Best Jeans for your Body!


**If you are PETITE like Selena Gomez:



Petite girls look good in a narrow cut like here on Selena. This cut fits snug and doesn't drown a small frame like a wider cut can. Look for back pockets with designs to give a flat butt shape! Look for a tight fit so they don't stretch out! This style is casual and can be worn anywhere. Selena pairs it with black pumps, a casual, half-sleeve blouse, and long, loose, shiny waves for her hair.


** If you are ATHLETIC like Ashley Tisdale:



Shredded, distressed, and bleached skinnies are perfect for an athletic body. The rips and faded wash down the front slims athletic legs while still being super comfy. This style is edgy but paired with the right things, can be sweet. Ashley pairs it with simple black Ugg boots, a grey sweater, and pulled back hair to let the outfit stand out.


**If you are LONG 'N' LEAN like Victoria Justice:



Wearing bright or dark denim draws eyes to your hips and thighs, giving lanky girls more curves. A low rise waist gives narrow hips more shape! Victoria pairs her denim with a floral print shirt, a button down vest, black heels, and a statement necklace. Her hair is half up, giving her a more femine look.


** If you are CURVY like Jordin Sparks:



The best jeans for curvy girls like Jordin is wide leg, because the cut at the bottom balances out hips. Wide leg jeans with a faded wash down the front create a lean silhouette by drawing eyes down the body and not across. This style looks great with flats or heels! The width should be almost a foots length across! Jordin pairs it with two layered bright tees, yellow heels, and soft, curly waves for her hair to send a casual vibe.

CPL 2.0 Training: Starting Out

What do you hope to learn from CPL 2.0?

CPL 2.0 training seems to be a fun and interactive way to learn different aspects and uses of the internet. I am familiar with most of the internet technologies we have planned ahead, but I am looking forward to learning something new and creative I will use in the future.

I have seen my children on various websites we are going to learn how to use such as Facebook and Wikipedia. I learn many useful things from them, but this training should teach me a few things as well. Hopefully, I can teach my kids how to do something they had never known how to do! So far I love to use the internet and technology for many things such as Wolfram Alpha: http://www.wolframalpha.com/ .

This blog will be a learning experience for me but also somewhere I can put all of my fashion tips. I might even blog about a recent novel I have read, or a recipe for a special Indian treat! In the end, I am looking forward to doing this and checking out my co-workers' blogs as well.
