Week1A: My Blog Theme

  Welcome to my blog! Wow, that was an adventure for me. I haven't used a blog site like this in a while. It definitely had me upset at first since I haven't used HTML in a while. For my current personal blog, I use Squarespace and it makes it easy to add images and update backgrounds. I had a heck of a time getting what I wanted from Blogger. It is still a work in progress, and I feel by the time I am done with this course I will be better acquainted with the program. The page will be exactly how I want by the time this is over.  I haven't used HTML since my Myspace page days and that is a long time ago. 

 When I first started out in this Blogger adventure I wanted to use my own images and pick some fancy color scheme and it was going to be amazing. I found out quickly that wasn't going to be the case. I was trying to resize image after image, first, an image of one of my favorite places in Hawaii called Hanapepe, then the picture you see here. I just couldn't get it right. So, I figured simple and sleek would be the way to go. 

Moving forward, my simple sleek blog will add images of my own life plus the weekly assignment. This blog post will include the discussion required, and a little info on the image. During this course process, I may change the background. I didn't try anything fancy, it just is simple and sleek. As to not to take away from my images and my words. I look forward to this writing blogging experience and the class.  

The included image is of my grandparents. They look so cool, something about the picture says we are ready for the word. I love retro clothing and specifically retro glasses. Vintage images tell such a story. I don't know where they are or where they are going, as they have both passed on. However, it looks fun!

    I really love the photo of your grandparents. Nice job on choosing your theme. I also chose a simple and sleek layout because messing with the theme was annoying.

Blogging

A personal touch style of writing can add a lot of fun to a blog. When people are looking for answers online they want things to sound personable and relatable. Consumers go online looking for answers, it is usually in a casual capacity and not in a research academic state of mind. When posts are personal people stop and listen and review. Consumers are saying in their heads, hey I get it I agree with them, this company/person is just like me.  It makes sense to add a personal touch to a blog when someone is telling a funny store or explaining a frustration that had a good outcome. It is not a good idea to add a funny touch that ha a bad outcome, if it does the outcome would need to have a sliver linings to it. When discussing serious topics it is best to stick with the facts. Serious topics include death, or death protocol. That is not the time to be funny.  Having a personal tone and serious tone in my business would work. Typically vo...
