Well, actually it doesn’t matter if you don’t produce videos. You can still have a Youtube channel and join this social networking community.

So how can you be a part of the social media fraternity?

I have started studying Certificate III in Disability. The certificate is an accreditation that allows me to work with people who have a disability and give support to Community Services.

You may ask why am I writing this article about disabilities. The reason is, I have suffered from a disability as a result of a motor cycle accident I had when I was a teenager. I’m doing this course so I can give back to the community for the care I received from Doctors, Nurses, Health and Community Services in Australia.

The people who do this work are unsung heroes who expect nothing in return for their tireless efforts to care, support and protect the rights of people with disabilities.

Today I learned about a website that touched my heart. It showed the love and concern of a mother for her 24 year old son, Jackson West who suffers from a rare form of autism.

After researching Jackson West, I wrote this article to share his story with you.

I was looking through some footage we shot back in 2004 for our community television program Fandangle. One of the musicians, who I thought played amazing guitar was Jan Rynsaardt. We have seen him perform with the band Chase The Sun in Canberra (Australia) at the Old Canberra Inn and a couple weeks ago in Sydney (Australia) at the Coogee Diggers RSL. He has matured as a musician and his lead guitar style is outstanding.

Back in 2004, Jan was in a band called, oddly enough, Rynsaardt. Now in 2011, after looking at the footage of Rynsaardt, I felt it would be a shame to leave it in a box gathering dust. As a historical record of Jan Rynsaardt’s talent I decided to put it on Youtube.

To some people Altiyan Childs is a weirdo, a recluse, a hermit, a social misfit. How many of us have been teased, put down and cast aside by society? That’s the curse of being an artist.

Altiyan Childs has always wanted to be part of the fraternity of musicians. He has struggled for twenty years to fulfill his dream. He had his chance with the Australian X-Factor reality television program and it looked like he lost at the first audition.

Who is Altiyan Childs?

Have you ever surfed the internet, searching for a subject that you feel is important. After searching the internet for hours, or may be a day or two, you may end up saying ‘If only someone would provide some decent, relevant information about this subject!

The reason why there may not be so much information on the subject you’re searching for, is because, not many people know enough about the subject.

Or you may find after doing a lot of searching, that you can see a different perspective on the subject that no one else has considered or talked about.

In a previous article I explained what is blogging, blogger and blog.

What I’m suggesting is that you start writing your own blog. You can write about what you have found and how it’s relevant to the subject that you and probably others are looking for.

Many of us have asked this very same question when we first started creating and managing websites.

Yes it is a newbie question, but this doesn’t mean it’s a dumb question.

A robot.txt is something we all need to be aware of and it is another tool in our kit box that can be used for SEO – Search Engine Optimization.
