Code, Edit a Template, or WordPress?

12/5/2018

1 Comment

 
On a personal level though, I’ll more than likely stick to Weebly for my online portfolio and blog. For a robotics team that I mentor, I’ll continue to use and work on and at some point teach my WordPress skills as we currently use that host site for our website. I had just unfortunately not understood how to control and edit our robotics site until this class. So, I’ll definitely continue to work on and improve those skills. I also believe that it gives me a competitive advantage to know how to use and operate so many different styles of website design.

From newspapers, radios, tv, cell phones to the world wide web and internet – the world is constantly evolving with new ideas to present the same information. The beginning of newspapers in the United States was in 1690. The Department of Defence took part in the creation of the World Wide Web. Web 2.0 evolved from the first version of the web to a more user-friendly space open for creativity. Although Web 2.0 is still relatively new, Web 3.0 is already in the works of creation.

Happy New Year!!

This special post doesn’t have a timestamp so I just have to tell you that it was posted at midnight (Eastern Standard Time)! This year New Years Eve fell on a Sunday and if you know me personally, you know that every Sunday I go over to my Great-Grandma’s house for dinner and family fun (and also to catch up on homework). So of course, my family and I spent New Year’s at my Great-Grandma’s house! I think it’s such a wonderful way to ring in the new year surrounded by my family with an addition of my boyfriend (who has become an addition to our family).
