Explaination of Choices

This is the blog post that had to accompany the submission of my assignment.

I based everything about this assignment around a fictional narrative that i was writing as i was going. Each narrative has been written in markers that have been tagged on the map. This is a similar structure to the 21 steps narrative that we were shown earlier on in the semester, i thought that this would be the most effective way of doing it. All the images that have been Geo-tagged have been taken from Flickr.
Though these images are not my own i have abide by the copyright and have only used images that have creative commons and am legally allowed to use them. One thing that i wanted to do but couldn't was embed music in either the markers or the side bar of Blogger. Due to my lack of knowledge this did not get completed, though i am certain that there would be ways of doing it.

I chose to put a readers choice into the narrative to create a sense of interactivity fro the reader. I thought that this was needed since Blogs and content on the net today is relatively interactive.
There is no particular reason why i chose to create the narrative that i did, it was just what came to my head at the time.

Overall it turned out exactly how iu wanted it to minus the music so i am pretty happy, hope you enjoy it to.
