Doggy Day Out

Is It A plane? Is It A boat? No It's A Car!

If I created my own car i would want it ti come with basic yet modern interiors that our car's have today, radio,CD player, heated seats, heated windows etc. To create my own car i would want it to be available in a wide range of colours and have a suitable looking exterior that suits both male and female. I would create a small but sporty looking car that is extremely safe to prevent serious injuries. It would have to be fantastic on fuel, cheap on tax and insurance but yet, have long lasting tyres and scratch free paint, so no more worries about scratching your car. Overall a basically cheap car to run. Inside I would want a nice, smart looking, long lasting interior, but is also comfy. Also inside i would add a built in speakerphone so that you are still able to talk on the phone, but safely. I would also install a heated gear stick and steering wheel as these are freezing to touch on the cold winter mornings and nights. My twist on my car would be that it could drive itself, abit like cruise control, but you would not have to steer it would just follow the road. Also no foot pedals or gear sticks, as the car would automatically do this when on this setting. The car would have to also be suitable to drive like any other car, just with the extra setting if we get lazy. My best twist on my car would have to be the fact that it is all the transports in one. It would be able to go underwater like the famous James Bond films and fly like the famous Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. A car that would take you wherever and however you wanted to go and if you tierd just put on the cruise setting and sit back and enjoy the ride.

What Is A Blog Anyway??

What Is A Blog Anyway?

Blogs have been around for around 10 years and are becoming more common. They are easy to access on the world wide web and anyone can set one up.
A blog is a social discussion or information site, like a personal diary that you can write posts between a person or groups. They are your own private thoughts, opinions, information or memos to the world. This is what you would you would call a 'Personal Blog'.
Other blogs can include, newspaper blogs, sports blogs, dieting blogs etc.
So there are wide range of different blogs that are there for many different reasons, many different shapes and sizes, colours and information.


So What Is The Difference between A Blog And A Website?

Blogs and websites can be very different, but they can also be very much the same.
Blogs can be colourful, appealing, catergorised, clearly labelled and they have reviews from 'regular' people that are also intrested in getting the information from people who have experienced it e.g buying a car, people are going to trust people's own experience on how they have found the car, the advantages and disadvantages. You also know that they have not been tested on race tracks to see how good they are at skids etc. 
Websites can also be colourful and appealing. But can you trust the web pages with the information given, is it a experienced person giving you the information that you need e.g with cars would you trust the website trying to sell you cars, because face it most people will say what they need to say in order to sell you that car. I also looked at one website, which i thought was fantastic it was eay to use, colourful and all the basic information you require on the choosen car. After looking through the website i decided to see if i agreed with what was said on there about my own car, but the website did not even know my car, apperentley that had never heard of it. 
There are many differences between blogs and websites, also many similarities. Blogs are more personal and i think more trustworthy, whereas websites are world wide, easy to find and access, maybe not the truth.
