11. Blog Reflection (Reflection Post)

I really have enjoyed writing on this blog way more than I initially thought I would. I can see myself adding to this blog even after this assignment is completed although at a make slower pace than I have been. I have learned a lot more about this topic while researching and have heard from others that they have too. Which was the whole point of my blog to begin with, so that all people may be informed about security in a simple understandable way. I am glad to see that this has been achieved. Although there are many things, I think could have been better. Many of my issues steamed from the blogging platform. Formation was a big issue for me, some things are hard to find such as links and even some posts seem to get lost, images and other basic formatting way harder than it needed to be as well. I might consider moving this blog to a new location, such as Wix, because of these issues. I made this choice in the beginning trying to make my blog more private and eliminate advertisements, but I think this was a bad call. I think these issues hurt viewer engagement as things may be hard to find and just doesn’t look as good. Another thing I struggled with was a consistent post schedule. Other Classes would take a lot of my time from this class, and then when I had some down time, I could complete posts in larger chunks. Overall, I am happy with my blog. I believe I did want I wanted to do, but there were some issues along the way. However, I can address these quite easily in the future.

Until next time,
