Muddiest Point 9
Is this week 8 or week 9? I am confused about that since we had no class last week.

Week 9 Readings
Introduction to the Extensible Markup Language (XML):
The article gave me an ok understanding of XML. It seems like a great idea to have an easy way to make data transferable to a variety of hardware and software hardware.
Survey of XML Standards:
I am glad this article provided more details than the first one, but it wasn't easy for me to follow.
Extending Your Markup:
Great (and very extensive) article! It was easy to read, and the big purple box with additional references is helpful. While the article was easier to read than the previous one, it was still difficult to read about rather than "do."
XML Tutorial:
Yippee! I had to read the section about DTD, but overall, I am a big fan of these tutorials.

Muddiest Point- Week 8
Is one or the other, HTML or CSS, "better" to use, or is it a matter of personal preference?
Week 8 Readings
HTML Tutorial:
Great tool! (But at first, I wanted to be annoyed at how much time it was going to take me to look at it.) It was fun to play around with HTML though, as I've always wondered exactly what it is. When I have some free time, I plan to play with it some more.
HTML Cheat Sheet:
Very handy for if I ever become proficient enough in using HTML... otherwise I will meed the whole list 'o instructions...
CSS Tutorial:
Same goes for this as for the HTML Tutorial. I like the CSS a little bit better, but I can't put my finger on why. Oh, wait, it's easier to understand and use than the HTML... (for me, anyway.)
Beyond HTML:
I found it interesting that a university library would allow a hodgepodge of pages of information on its website, like it seemed that the HTML pages were. Maybe I'm missing something. But seeing the real world use of both HTML and CSS was helpful. I also wonder why librarians would be given the task of creating the pages, if they had absolutely no training in how to. It seems like once the university decided to migrate from HTML, much more training was given in the new comtent management.

Week 7 Readings
Internet Infrastructure
I didn't realize that anything like the Internet Society existed to lend a bit of order to the Web. Interesting... the behind the scenes look at IP adresses was kind of interesting. I had assumed that IP addresses were just randomly assigned numbers, but in reality, they hold tond of information!
Dismantling ILS
At first I thought this article sounded like a sales pitch coming from all the ILS companies, but toward the end, suggesting dismantling systems to try to solve compatibility problems, it sounded less "corporate."
Google Video
The world with lights representing searches was neat. You could really see a difference between developed countries and less developed parts of the world. I really think that allowing emplloyees 20% of their work time to work on their own creative ideas is a fantastic way to keep employees motivated, especially if they are compensated for ideas that the company actually implements. It's also nice to hear that Google is willing to try new ideas, even though the probability of failure might be high.
