Over the past 5 months I have been working on growing my knowledge on creating a website and blog! Although the time was fun learning there were multiple uphill battles on figure out WordPress. WordPress is very complex compared to Blogger or a Google website; however, I enjoyed challenging myself and learning new skills. Some new skills that I learned was how to write more casually for a blog, obtain a copyright license, and overall manage a website.
My favorite part of creating this website was making the site cater to my liking. I am very pleased with the layout of the website as the site is easy to navigate and visually appealing. Another thing that I really enjoy about my site is that creating a new blog post or page is very calming because I am writing all my thoughts down which is great!
Some new skills that I obtained when building the site are very useful and I can use later on. Since my site contains a blog I am now writing as if I am speaking to someone and this took some time getting used to but I am more comfortable with doing so. Also WordPress challenged me a lot of the times because I am unfamiliar with the site so I had to learn how to make the site user friendly through creating pages, dropdown menus, a blog, and finding a suitable theme for my intentions. By far the most challenging aspect of my site are the dropdown menus, and to create the menus, I had to dedicate several hours watching videos and asking friends how to enable dropdown menus. The menus are finally in place and although the process was long, the outcome is satisfying. Another useful skill that I learned through the process of creating a blog was obtaining a copyright license. Getting a copyright license was actually really easy, all I did was use Creative Commons, a copyright licensing website (click the link!), choose what type of license I wanted and inserted the license into my website, that easy! I will definitely be using Creative Commons again for other works of mine.
Overall the process was challenging but the outcome of my website is amazing! Some works that I am very proud of are my videos, Banana DNA Extraction, Meiosis in Motion, The Mysteries of Water, and Junior Breakthrough Challenge 2017. I am most proud of these works because filming and editing videos are very time and energy consuming but all the videos turned out awesome so check them out if you have not already. Publishing to a wider audience has been fun and I look forward to what’s to come in my last semester in high school!
Here’s a great mini series on chromosomes that was shown in class (my favorite videos that we have watched) that has so much information about our genes but is presented in a way that is very comprehensive for anybody to learn!
Here’s to the class of 2018 for making it through high school! ❤
