Gaming!



This is the perfect game for family and friends! If you like to strategise, this is the game for you! What role will you take to make sure you have the most victory point? Do you want to be the mayor who'll decide where your colonist will go? Do you want to be the builder who'll build the most buildings? Do you want to be the craftsman who'll produce the most goods? Or the Captain, Prospector, Trader?

Reflections

Comments on edu.blogs.com:
Strength:
- This blog share interesting news/technologies which capture attention with its font setting and pictures. The differentiated fonts aids reading as well.
- There are also hyperlinks so that the reader can navigate to read more if they have interest in that particular topic. At the end of an article, there are links such as "Email it", "Share on Facebook"and other links. This makes navigations easier as well.
- There are youtube videos which will interest readers as well.
- The information are presented in point form.

Weakness: The blog allows quite long posting on the main page, which causes the blog page to be very long and may not interest readers. It could be better if they have different categories so that the posts can be classified and not be seen altogether at the front page.

Comments on http://wiki.blogtogether.org/blogtogether/:
Strength:
- I like the "Pages and Tags" page. It shows the various discussion that is going on and we can enter to the topic of our preference. It gives a summary of the latest revision and the author. Actually. think it'll be better if it shows who did the latest revision.
- I think this blog is shared by a few authors. there's a specific page introducing each of them. This makes it more personalised. =)
