Reflection on Blog

 

For my blog I used several tools to help bring it together so that it would flow as you use the website. First thing I did was make sure that the colors were not too bright but also didn’t clash with each other. I decided to use orange at the top with yellow on the background to help bring the eye to the middle which is a white background with black text with the titles also being orange. I think by doing this form of design I was able to keep things simple but also look professional in a way. When researching for my blog I found that just using one color wasn’t enough as it blends the page together and makes it hard on the eyes to read. I also found by doing my research that the most successful blogs would use tabs at the top that would bring you home, to an about me page and would almost always have a send a tip page. This send a tip page was a great way to help the blog grow as it was used to help find topics that the people using the blog were interested in. Some problems I ran into though was I did not know how to actually add this function to the blog. I had never used blogger in the past so I had to watch a few YouTube videos so I could. I am glad I did that though as working this blog I have been able to look more into topics and delve deeper then I normally would on a subject. My plan for this blog is to continue to post on it but for more of a personal use as I can use it as a portfolio of what I have accomplished with my school work.
