practical 2

today's lesson is about the difference types of website and i will have to identify and compare between these websites. the topic i have choosen to do is the impact of drug abuse on youth. there are 3 types of websites that i have to find, namely the organisational, personal and subject-based websites.

An example of an organisational website is here.
the website is created by WHO (World Health Organization). this organization deals with many kinds of health issuses and one of them is about the drug abuse. there are also many others health issues that can be found under health topics. they allow users to give feedbacks so they can get to know more problems and also the FAQ section might help some people answer their questions.

An example of a personal website would be the following websites:
http://www.health-sky.com/
http://www.drugblog.net/
http://nycid.blogspot.com/

these websites are matained by individuals or from part of an organization. they have the same interest on the drug abuse.

Last but not least, an example of a subject-based website would be from teen drug abuse.
This website targets particularly on the subject of drug abuse among the teens. it is more straight forward and easier to found regarding the drug abuse in youths.

Reflections:
i have used 2 search facilities, Yahoo and Google. this 2 are my favourite search engines!

the keyword i used are "impact of drug abuse on youth" , "teenager drug abuse" and "blogs on drug abuse".

after going through this lesson, i finally understand those 3 types of websites. subject-based websites are focused into 1 topic (eg:drug abuse on teens). for personal, it is maintained by 1 person and are mostly blogs that include the person's interest. as for organizational, it is created by a group of people that form a organization.
