Well this was my first blog and was really located within my Masters in Media Culture and Communication that I did at the Institute of Education. Now I am moving on and have started a MPhil/Phd at the Institute so I have started a new blog that is about my new area of research;

This will link is all my work on Digital Fiction that I will be looking at in the future.
See you there………………………………….
Today I have been looking at Google chrome and testing it out a bit. Firefox was not working so I picked another and had a play. The first good thing what that I could use images from Hedgehog in the Fog for the theme. It came up simply and looks compact and neat. Through the afternoon it has been as slow as Firefox, at times, but does not seem to stall as much. I was not happy that when I opened it did not seem to reload previous tabs as Firefox does. I will need to keep going a few days to see if it is faster and has any advantages at all. We will see……..
I am setting off to start a new project but am already hitting small posts of delay! My old laptop died in the summer so I have been without a creative computer for a while. I got a new Mac for Christmas and have tried to download Flash. Then I looked at Flash and had a complete heart attack. I am not sure I can just ‘pick it up’ lessons might have to be involved! So alongside this I have looked for a another Free Flash website. I have used Wix before but thought there might be something more creative using Flash. At present I hope to test out FlashVillage to see what this is like and whether this is a possible alternative to learning Flash.
In order to create a new piece I want a strong story and so I thought about using a traditional folk-tale or myth. In this way I can work with a strong storyline. I think my first project was a bit rambling so this time I want to have a better structure as the basis for the creativity. So I have chosen as my story; Dando and the Wild Hunt. Lets see where this takes me…………………………………………
