      This site shows how to add Excerpts without the use of plugins, simple code changing does the trick. Here the author provides the codes to make that happen. It's a nice little addition to write a short description about the post.
  • The beauty about this code is that it takes care of both scenarios: the manually added and the automatically generated excerpts; which means that you can have both manual excerpts and auto-generated excerpts for your posts with no issues.

    I thought this small webpage was very useful! I wanted to focus on the five differences that Manovich mentions. This one focuses on numerical representation. It summarizes the two main categories: the digital code created mathematically and the digital code created with an algorithm.

      This site helps tidy up and customize your wordpress to look unique but I have to say after reading information from http://interconnectit.com/679/a-common-sense-wordpress-security-primer/ , I prefer not to use 3rd party plugins. A lot of this is coded customization like how Myspace.com first use to be.

      This seems to be very gray...If the purpose and character of the work is a determining factor for Fair Use, then you can make a solid argument? For instance, would it be okay if I made a t-shirt with "I'll be back," on it and above it I stated that I think this is the best movie quote of all time (i don't, it's just well known)? Would I then be commenting on the quote?

    One of the reasons WordPress is so popular is because of its flexibility. Designers, developers, and bloggers have plenty of options. In this post we'll look at a combination of tutorials for improving a WordPress-based site, and plugins that can provide added functionality that will bring new possibilities. Tutorials: Build a Featured Posts Section for WordPress Magazine themes are becoming increasingly popular. There are plenty of quality premium themes available, and also some decent free magazine themes, but you may want to build or customize your own. This tutorial covers the process of coding the index.php file to set up a magazine-style front page with a featured post section. - if you're willing to download all the plugins that are available from this site, you can really have the wordpress site look awesome and provide a lot more options.

    This site has several good tutorials. I think the Featured Posts tutorial and the tutorial that shows you how to put text over your lead graphic seem like they'd be interesting blog additions. The draw back on these changes is that you have to be familiar with web encoding though.

  • New media rely on digital technologies, allowing for previously separate media to converge. Media convergence is defined as a phenomenon of new media and this can be explained as a digital media.“
  • he most prominent example of media convergence is the Internet, whereby the technology for video and audio streaming is rapidly evolving. The term convergence is disputed, with critics such as Lev Manovich pointing out that the 'old' medium of film could be seen as the convergence of written text (titles and credits), photography, animation and audio recording
  • New Media has become a significant element in everyday life. It allows people to communicate, bank, shop and entertain. The global network of the Internet, for instance, connects people and information via computers.[3] In this way the Internet, as a communication medium of New Media, overcomes the gap between people from different countries, permitting them to exchange opinions and information. Diverse means for this exist even within the context of the Internet, including chat rooms, Instant Messaging applications, forums, email messaging, online video and audio streaming and downloads, and voice-over-internet telecommunications. New Media is defined not only as a communication tool, but also as a tool for the commercial exchange of goods and services.[

  • transition to new media has seen a handful of powerful transnational telecommunications corporations who own the majority achieve a level of global influence which was hitherto unimaginable.
  • new media follows the logic of the postindustrial or globalised society whereby 'every citizen can construct her own custom lifestyle and select her idology from a large number of choices. Rather than pushing the same objects to a mass audience, marketing now tries to target each individual separately.'
  • "virtual communities" are being established online and transcend geographical boundaries, eliminating social restrictions. Rheingold (2000) describes these globalised societies as self-defined networks, which resemble what we do in real life. "People in vi
  • rtual communities use words on screens to exchange pleasantries and argue, engage in intellectual discourse, conduct commerce, make plans, brainstorm, gossip, feud, fall in love, create a little high art and a lot of idle talk"
  • New Media has been used extensively by social movements to educate, organize, share cultural products of movements, communicate, coalition build, and more.
  • New media can be defined not only as things you can see such as graphics, moving images, shapes, texts, and such. It is also things that cannot be seen, such as a Wi-Fi connection. Like radio or electricity, no one can see the Wi-Fi waves in the air floating through the air. But the Wi-Fi concept can be considered new media. So new media can be either concept-based, refer to a solid object, or both.
  • Any individual with the appropriate technology can now produce his or her online media and include images, text, and sound about whatever he or she chooses. [27] So the new media with technology convergence shifts the model of mass communication, and radically shapes the ways we interact and communicate with one another.
  • even some forms of digitized and converged media are not in fact interactive at all
  • "the global interactive games industry is large and growing, and is at the forefront of many of the most significant innovations in new media" (Flew 2005: 101). Interactivity is prominent in these online computer games such as World of Warcraft and The Sims. These games, developments of "new media", allow for users to establish relationships and experience a sense of belonging, despite temporal and spatial boundaries. These games can be used as an escape or to act out a desired life. Will Wright, creator of The Sims, "is fascinated by the way gamers have become so attached to his invention-with some even living their lives through it" [30]. New media have created virtual realities that are becoming mere extensions of the world we live in.
  • The advertising industry has capitalized on the proliferation of new media with large agencies running multi-million dollar interactive advertising subsidiaries. In a number of cases advertising agencies have also set up new divisions to study new media. Public relations firms are taking advantage of the opportunities in new media through interactive PR practices.
  • New media can be seen to be a convergence between the history of two separate technologies: media and computing.
  • new media can now be defined as "graphics, moving images, sounds, shapes, spaces, and texts that have become computable; that is, they comprise simply another set of computer data.
  • Flew (2002) stated that as a result of the evolution of new media technologies, globalisation occurs. Globalisation is generally stated as "more than expansion of activities beyond the boundaries of particular nation states".[6] Globalisation shortens the distance between people all over the world by the electronic communication (Carely 1992 in Flew 2002) and Cairncross (1998) expresses this great development as the "death of distance". New media "radically break the connection between physical place and social place, making physical location much less significant for our social relationships" (Croteau and Hoynes 2003: 311).
  • Old media
  • involve analog processes
  • as opposed to new media which sample media as a numerical representation in binary code.
  • Victoria Burch on 26 Feb 11
     
    This is the best article I've found for this topic. It discusses new media in relation to Manovich's article AND actually interrelates Flew's virtual communities article too! I thought that was pretty cool. It also gives examples of what new media is, and how it is affecting our communities through globalization and social change
