I'll admit, my experience with blogging is extremely limited (none actually) so it took me some time searching the web to figure out what I was doing. I chose the travel theme based off the title alone because I really enjoy traveling and it was really the only one that stuck out to me. The theme is very simple and easy to navigate, which I enjoy because i'm trying to figure this all out and it makes it much easier for me.
I am taking this class because I am currently a barber and we rely a lot on social media, especially instagram to help promote our work and gain new clientele. I currently have an instagram that is just for my barbering photos and facebook that I really use. Even though i don't use it often, I feel fairly comfortable using social media but i hope this class will give me some tips and tricks to help promote my work a little more efficiently.
Like I said before, i really enjoy traveling. Almost every weekend I jump on my motorcycle and try to make it to a new restaurant, bar, hike, swimming hole, lake or even a new road that i haven't been to before. Any time i get a long weekend or more, i try to travel to a new location and i feel a blog like this could be a great way for me to share my experiences.
I find a lot of comfort in the fact that I'm not the only one whose new to this! So far I think you're doing a great job! Your blog looks really nice and I'm excited to see posts about your adventures.
ReplyDeleteChris,
ReplyDeleteGreat post! I agree whole heartedly, the travel theme is super navigable and simple on the user/designer. Besides that, it was great hearing more about your reasons for taking the course, not to mention your passion for traveling.
Keep killing it!
For your first attempt at a blog, I like it. The old timey feel, with the funky phone- well, to me a Barber has a sense of nostalgia, a history in it's trade. I think it's very fitting.
ReplyDeleteHi Christopher,
ReplyDeleteI enjoy the travel theme you chose, and almost chose it for myself! Traveling is something almost everyone enjoys, and I feel this theme evokes a sense of relaxation and enjoyment.
Hello Christopher,
ReplyDeletethis theme is a pretty sweet backdrop to the blog. It gives it some contextualization and fits with the overall tone and admiration for traveling you have
