It’s a lot harder for me to keep up with a conversation about creating a website as it is.  So when I think about having a class assignment to read over laying out a webpage, I’m already a little hesitant about the topic before I even read it.

The resource on TRACS was a helpful read because it felt like you were reading the “boiled-down” version of what you’re supposed to do when creating a website. I felt like I was getting casual advice on the dos and don’ts of how to layout a page. Having the tips after the example pictures certainly helped with getting a visual of those examples were either good or bad and why.

The most helpful tips I learned were definitely universal rules like to never mix your alignments. Remembering to think about the contrast between the text and graphics will be helpful to think about as you’re choosing a color. I also didn’t realize that every web “site” is only one page.

My Twitter questions were asking how to get a job in a Sales job market and how to get into two PR departments for the Houston Astros and the Houston Rockets.

Blog Post Three: #TwitterStruggle

My experience with this assignment was rather difficult. It probably wouldn’t be as bad if Twitter was a part of my daily routine. I created my Twitter account about a year ago because of another class required for all PR majors at Texas State University. I like the concept of Twitter but with my busy schedule I just don’t have the time to Tweet all the time. This really applies to all social media, I am not big on Facebook and I don’t even have an Instagram. Prior to this assignment I can’t really remember Twitting about something that interested me. With that being said, I do tweet about my #SprintProblems all the time, because let’s be real, Sprint is awful.

To even complete this assignment, I needed to call a friend over to walk me through this. I’m sitting here just trying to figure out what a retweet with the “RT” and added commentary even means when I get a Twitter notification on my phone. When I open the Twitter app I see that she had tweeted about me. I couldn’t help but laugh. She is sitting here trying to explain how to use Twitter via my computer, instead of the app like I normally do, and simultaneously tweeting about my struggle.

Clearly….technology is not my thing and it never will be.
