Week1A: My Spooky Blog Theme

Welcome to my blog! I chose this theme because, well, fall is approaching and my daughter and I love Halloween. Why not get in the "spirit" already? This coral/orange color felt urgent but also fun!

I felt this theme had a clean, user-friendly look too-- which is likely what you want when you have people quickly scrolling through content, right? I changed a few of the fonts to make them more legible (no italics, for example).

I'm planning to make some more adjustments depending on how many photos I use and whether the format is working in terms of the content I'm putting out. 

*Noting here that I wrote these as three separate paragraphs, but the theme joined them all together. I even tried altering the html language... to no avail. Anyway, I need to figure out how to create separate paragraphs on this blog! Let the learning experience begin!

    Hi Megan! I love the theme you picked out. My family and I take Halloween seriously. We start visiting Spirit stores as soon as they open.

    Hi Megan! I'm not sure if urgent is the description I would use - but it is a good one. Orange always makes me think of caution or slowing down because of the ways its used in safety items (caution cone, hunting vest, etc.) I also LOVE Halloween and its always a good time for decorating and getting ready. What is you and your daughters favorite tradition or Halloween activity? I see the paragraphs here so maybe you figured it out without realizing. I'm looking forward to how your blog is going to grow!

      Oh thank you! Yeah I guess I figured it out without even knowing! Love to hear you are a fellow Halloween fan! Maybe we all need to share our Halloween costumes with each other when the time comes. Our neighborhood goes NUTS at Halloween, so it's a super fun place to be. We are right down the hill from Mira Costa-- people come from elsewhere to check out our street! Know what you're going to be for Halloween yet?

    Hey Megan, I love the color scheme! "Spooky" was the exact word that entered my mind when I saw it and I like how you addressed it right away. Are you and your family going to do anything special for this Halloween? My sister and I were planning on going to Knott's Scary Farm again later this year.

Wk15A: Using Google Analytics to Improve your Marketing: FA22 CSIT 155 1574

I think I could use Google Analytics to see how many page views I'm getting, what time of day, how much people interact with my site, etc. I had a chance to look at what my site is doing now, and it was interesting to see how many new users I had and how long they stayed on my site.  From the reading, I was reminded to check out “What’s Trending” in various social media to see what people are talking about. I believe that was also a tip mentioned in the textbook. For example, if parents in San Diego are posting about crowded xmas tree lots, I could write a post on the "Least crowded xmas tree farms" or "Most affordable places to get your xmas tree this year." I also think I could use Google ads to increase my brand presence and target people searching for things to do in San Diego or people who had looked at similar blogs, perhaps.  It's interesting that you can also anticipate future customer actions with Google’s machine learning. That's a really cool ...

Week 6 Part B: Creating and Scheduling FaceBook Posts

This was fun! I am having a great time exploring my classmate's pages and seeing their posts. Here are the ones I visited/commented on: Amy Mather: https://www.facebook.com/Protein4PetsVista/ Kristy Yam: https://www.facebook.com/EncinitasDonuts Pablo Correa: https://www.facebook.com/PurpleTsunamiClothing/ I also posted a few things on my page ( North County Fam ) and scheduled a few upcoming posts (all below). I think these posts will engage my audience because they are fun upcoming events, include questions and utilize colorful, easy-to-view images. I'm curious to see how people engage with them!
