Question: What is a blog?
Answer:
A blog is where you
discuss or give information postings on a site published on the World Wide Web.
Choosing where you want to
build blog is pretty much the first thing you have to do. I suggest using WordPress,
Blogger or Tumblr. They make it super easy and fast to set up with free themes
and layouts as well as a forum that you can go to for support if you get stuck. What you post can be shared, commented on,
and so on. Go to https://wordpress.com/
Tumblr is also a
microblogging platform and social networking site. You can post multimedia and other content to a
short-form blog. Go to https://www.tumblr.com/
Question: What is a vlog?
Answer.
Vlogging is a video blog.
A “Vlog” is short for “video blog.” You have an actual video of you
discussing a topic. They’ve become super-easy to make with
Flip and iPhone technology. If you vlog you are known as a vlogger. YouTube
has the biggest vlog content on the internet. You can watch vlogs free on
YouTube. If you want to vlog you will need to open a free account on YouTube.
How long should a vlog be? Shorter is better.
I think 60-90 seconds is usually enough; you may be able to go as much
as three minutes, depending on your topic. If you’re doing a how-to video, try
to keep it to three to five minutes. Go to http://www.vlognation.com/how-to-start-a-vlog/
Question: Can you name
4 of your favourite Apps and how can we find them?
Answer:
I have lots of favourite apps and some have
been mentioned in the book but ‘Pinterest is a particularly good app that has a
catalogue of ideas and all kinds of fashions. Go to https://uk.pinterest.com/
Sign up and just type in the word ‘fashion’.
Another amazing app that I use all the time
is one called ‘Pose’ which lets you see what to wear and how to wear it. Go to http://pose.com/
If you are into Cosplay as Erin from Belfast
was then this cool site will show you more
http://9gag.com/cosplay
And this app is for cosplayers and cosmakers http://cosplanner.catokusanagi.com/
Another must-have App is Instagram. Instagram is an online mobile photo-sharing, video-sharing and social
networking service that enables you to
take pictures and videos, and share them on a variety of social networking
sites. Go to https://www.instagram.com/?hl=en
Question: What is a podcast?
Answer:
An audio blog; can include music; can
be music; the equivalent of a radio show; something downloadable that you
listen to. Easy to make. Stored online. If you’re
podcasting, you can go on for longer because people are likely downloading it
and listening while driving, cleaning, relaxing, etc. Some podcasts are 15 minutes;
some are 30 minutes. Some are an hour. They are easy to
share. You can interview other people and make podcasts — or “interview”
yourself. Podcasts are often made in episodes and you can get automatic updates
on your device telling you when a new one has been made.You can listen to them
any time and anywhere as long as you have a device and earphones. A lot of
podcasts are free.
