Why You Shouldn't Sign In With Google or Facebook
If, like me, you want to avoid interaction with big tech, the issue of website sign ins is important. Lots of websites allow you to create an account but why do that when there is an SSO (single sign on) to sign in with Facebook or google.
I found a link to this on the Fediverse earlier, and I think it makes some good points, the price having a single sign-in or using the same credentials for the same website, you don't do this normally as you would use a unique password for each website.

Free Code Camp Update 02/10/2020
I have now completed all the modules in the FreeCodeCamp responsive web design course.
Profile can be found here that details the time line for this. I have also updated my LinkedIn profile with this update.
As yet I have ONLY completed the actual modules and have not undertaken the assessment projects. However my intention was to follow the course to help support Paignton Library Code Club anyway.

Chemistry Help
I came across this website on the Fediverse as part of a thread on science. I had a look and it appears to be something could really help anyone studying Chemistry
A discussion that mentioned Atomic Orbitals led me to this page on the above website. This site has some nice simulations of topics that are included in the A'level Chemistry Syllabus.
There is also a website with a nice forum on science that I found too. This has a section on Chemistry and then sub forums for Organic, Inorganic and Physical chemistry.
$\LaTeX$ may also be of interest to Chemistry students as you can type set Chemical Formulae etc.
In a sort of related topic, I found a useful site that gives tips on technical writing, I am familiar with some of the ideas presented here, well mostly Constructivism by Jerome Bruner from studying the Supporting Learning in Primary Schools course with the Open University.
I am trying to follow some of this idea when writing instructional blog posts. Provide information on how I do things but put quite a lot of emphasis on the reader actually going away and researching topics. Everyone's system and circumstances are different.
