Summery Post

Through this semester long project, I’ve learned many things about the web and web design. I’ve learned how to make a meaningful blog site as well as how to create a website from scratch such as using HTML. My best experience through this semester long project was the blog itself. I’ve had such a good time reviewing blogs about what I love to write about such as talking about music and concerts. It was a great experience sharing my thoughts about upcoming bands and reviewing their latest albums. This blog helped me learn how to manage a website however, there are things I’d like to improve upon this blog. I’d improve the little details such as adding more icons or including music to listen to, so viewers can experience the songs I’m talking about in my blog. A better way to promote my content would be by just using ads in social media such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. Overall, this experience taught me how to manage a blog and learn what it takes to sustain a well implemented blog. This could benefit my future because you could show employers that you know how to start and manage your very own website. You could also go the entrepreneur route, start your own business, and create your own website for that business.

Through my analytics you can see that February 17th was my most popular week and I believe the reason why is that people enjoy getting to know the person behind the blog . In that week, I blogged about myself and I think people can relate to my story which makes it more appealing to the viewer. In total I had 37 views in that week, which is actually pretty surprising for me. I honestly didn’t expect to have such a good amount of viewers. My most popular post is my “upcoming band” post which had 20 views. I believe it was popular because I wrote about what this blog consists of and I think people are just curious to see what this blog is about.Something that surprised me was getting a viewer from china which was very unexpected. In my twitter analytics, I was very surprised to see that my tweet about reviewing another blog got way more attention. Overall, I’m happy with the results from my analytics and the way I went about creating this blog.
