This was my first time creating my own blog and I could say I learned a lot from it. There are many things I would improve or change. I would create my pages with more color or designs to make it stand out. Being more on track with posting and collecting my content better is another improvement that I would like. With my current Music Blog, I would only promote it through Twitter. For the following blogs I would like to promote somewhere other than twitter. Maybe I could post the link on an Instagram story with a photo or even on Snapchat. To better promote my content I would use more of my social media.
My best experience during this semester-long project was seeing what I am capable of. I learned to love writing and will, for sure, start creating blogs of other topics. Meeting new people and hearing what they have to say about a topic (music) we both enjoy was an amazing experience, as well. Having a blog benefits me in many ways including using what I have created as part of my portfolio, since I’m planing a career in the same field. Not to mention, I learned many useful things throughout the project. Wanting a career in media and journalism, the experience I had in this course this semester I know will be very helpful and has led me to start and create new things for myself.
As I view my site stats I look for my highest viewing week which turns out to be February 24, 2020 through March 1, 2020. This week I received 21 views and 14 visitors. My most popular post this semester was from Artist xRAE, which received 20 views. Something I did find surprising while going through the stats was that I had 2 viewers from Canada. It makes me wonder how it got to that person. This made me wonder how my analytics page looked for Twitter but since I don’t post much nothing was really interesting. I did find it funny how most of the things that were more popular were school related or an assignment for this class.
