In launching my website, I definitely would love to incorporate the use of SEOs. Mostly because I believe that a high level of clicks will lead to a heavier traffic flow to my website. This, in turn, could result in more business for me. One of the main downfalls of using an SEO is the…
Module 10: The Domain Game
I’ve always dreamed of the day when people could just go to http://www.justchris.com and read about my life, accomplishments, and see my work. And according to this nifty site called WHOIS.com, I found out that this particular domain is readily available… for a WHOPPING $7,500. Now this isn’t too bad for someone who owns their…
Module 9: Security and Privacy
We all know that one person who has the same password to EVERYTHING: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Netflix, Online Banking accounts etc. Heck, that person may be YOU, but that’s never personally been my style, and have always wondered if people who practice such behavior understand the danger that it presents. I was thrilled this week…
Module 8: Online Learning
This week we are discussing online learning! Now, we all know that there are two types of people in this world: those who LOVE online classes (mostly due to convenience) and those who LOATHE them. Now, I fall into the latter category, simply because I appreciate the face to face interaction and the traditional classroom…
What’s Cooking? Pt.2
Time for another #WhatsCooking! This week has been one of my more difficult weeks during my journey, and while I did fall short a few times, I always made sure I was listening to my body and didn’t under- or overdo anything. At one point during the middle of the week, I got myself together…
What’s Cooking? Pt. 1
Since deciding to take on this lifestyle change I’ve found myself in the kitchen now more than ever, and I have found that I really have a knack for this cooking thing. As a result, I have developed a particular proclivity for testing out healthy, unfamiliar ingredients. This week I messed around with the popular…
Module 7: CMS
According to the readings featured for this module, the three most popular content management systems are Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress. Honestly, before this module, I didn’t know or fully understand the concept of CMS UNTIL I found out that WordPress was one! So basically a CMS is just a system that exists to manage/create content…
Happy, Healthy Living
Week one was a true test of my will power, but overall it was a success and because of my curiosity in the kitchen, I managed to come up with three super easy and delicious recipes that beckon for the summer’s arrival. The first thing that I made was a breakfast item, that I simply…
27 February 2017
27 February 2017 is the day that I traded in bottled soda for bottled water. 27 February 2017 is the day that I used years of ridicule to push me over the edge that I had scared to jump off of for so long. 27 February 2017 is the day that chicken tenders turned to…
You’ve Got Mail
This week’s focus on email introduced several new things to me. The first thing was the filter feature that many email servers allow you to apply to your inboxes so that emails containing certain subject lines are flagged especially for your attention. I tried this process using Gmail because that is what our school email…
Website Accessibility
Thus far, in designing my website, anything and everything that I have done has been based on whether or not someone else will find it cute, whether or not it is representative of me and whether or not it fulfills its purpose; and while, yes, these aspects are important, I completely neglected the idea of…
Anxiety
The following post is extremely personal and graphic, so please proceed with caution. Anxiety always finds a way to present itself in my mind especially in the form of countless empty beer bottles, broken dishes, and bruises in the shape of handprints. But mama always told me when something starts working on you to close…
