Practical 3

This practical requires me to group the resources I have found according to their purposes such as information, advocacy, business/marketing, news, personal and entertainment.

I think that grouping the resources according to their purposes is very useful as it allows me to know how reliable the information is. If the resource falls under advocacy, personal and entertainment, the information provided may not be very accurate it does not contain any facts unlike information and news. Information provides facts while the purpose of news is to provide information about the latest happenings around the world to update the public with the most current events.

Besides learning more about the purpose of resources, I also learn how to create site feeds to other blogs by following the templates given in the practical. I feel that site feeds are very useful as the entries are placed according to the date posted. The most recent entry will be placed at the top of the page. With site feeds, users need not have to go to the blog and search for the most recent entries themselves.
