Overview


Amie's school blog.

Well! I've often seen a cat without a grin; but a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw!

Wiki

"A type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content." (http://thewebworks.bc.ca/)

A wiki, as far as I know, is just a website containing information that can be edited and added to by the visitor. The difference between a blog and a wiki is that when you view a blog, you can comment but not change, edit or delete anything written by someone else. A wiki that interests me is Wikipedia, because it's probably the most widely used and has thousands of pages.
The video has told me about the Camping Friends and how they used a wiki instead of email.

Family History

Family History

I have a Mother and a brother. My Mum is 45 and her name is Jacqueline. My brother is called Liam, and my Dad was called Keith (he is is deceased).
My Mother's family comes from Ireland. The family name was Greene, which was spelled incorrectly on her father's birth certificate as Green and now we all have the wrong last name. My father's family name is Dowling, which sounds kind of English to me and according to the Internet (http://houseofnames.com/) is the English translation of the Irish name O Dunlaing.


Frank's Family
Frank's problem is that his photos/videos have not been organized and cataloged and so aren't easy to find. He could maybe solve it by sorting them chronologically, by year.
