First Week Done…

This was an experience to go through, but luckily, I had fun! I learned that, unlike work, I do indeed need to work in posts, not pages (thank you, Maddie). I also learned about themes, got a better idea of tech noir, and that watching this type of content is incredibly existential yet entertaining. Until I realized that I needed to work on posts and not pages, I was very confused about where I was supposed to put my tags. I was happy with the fact that I had already learned how to use the majority of WordPress basics. This definitely helped me to quickly build pages in how I imagined them. Still, I am excited to explore more and get a better bandwidth of skill with everything.

So far, knock on wood, nothing has totally driven me crazy yet. I know that if I had been clueless about the basics, I definitely would have struggled a lot more. I have really enjoyed looking through designing themes and figuring out more ways to apply different blocks through my posts.

Mostly Relevant Goals!

Actually relevant goal

I really hope to get more used to WordPress controls as I use it for work as well. I am a Lab Aide in the Psychology department and while I know how to use the basics of WordPress, I trust that this class will allow me to have much more creative liberties with my designs! For work, we have designated hero blocks that we design around. I am excited about this class because I get to choose my own themes, designs, prompts, and can be more silly-goofy than professional.

School goal in general

I would like to start getting these tasks done earlier in the week, not just for this class. I didn’t quite realize the extent of the work I wanted to put into the different classes I was in. Now that I have been in it for a week, I feel more able to properly time manage my assignments; especially whatever these ones might include!

Helping hand goal

I would love to be able to learn more technological/creative feats to help my mom in her website endeavors.

Definitely a star critic

I would like to figure out more of what it’s like to truly review something. At least much more than the simple point of something was just good or bad. Hopefully, this will provide more practice in this endeavor!
