IDS Learning Journey

What do I prioritize? (Final reflection)

I started the year with a lack of idea generation; I didn’t use any creative risks and barely even changed other people’s ideas at all. I simply shared what others had created. I wanted to learn how to create my own content, and the best way to do that would be taking other people’s work and building it into a better, more compact version. I would take the information, and decide what is necessary to…

IDS prep day step 2

Today, I created an analysis on the results of my instagram analytics. I noticed that 7 days after I stopped posting, the engagement of my posts dropped steeply, to about 500 impressions per day. After another 30 days, the engagement dropped to near-zero, about 10 impressions per day. I also wrote a guide on how to properly optimize your article for google search.

IDS fair prep

Today I continued planning out my posterboard; I decided on creating a sort of guessing game on how each article places on Google Search, and I am also going to use an analysis on how to optimize articles with keywords and such. I lastly just continued analyzing PiMyLifeUp’s article and my own. I worked on it in the afternoon. I related my project to Web Development 10, by relating my inspiration to one of the…

Analyzing articles

For my main ‘showcase’ of my findings in IDS fair, I analyzed two different articles: One by me, and one by PiMyLifeUp. I highlighted important aspects of the articles, and began to discuss their strategies. I did some extra, detailed research on how the use of keywords supports the search engine’s promotion of people’s website. I also added comments so I know what to write as comments, pointing out the strategies used.

Why are ‘snippets’ sometimes useless?

I created an article last week involving a tutorial on using a voice chatbot, like Siri or Cortana. I formatted the article to include a list, which are useful in the Google search engine because they take advantage of snippets. These are the little boxes that appear in your first result of the search, and usually give you a good, straightforward answer to your question. These are, however, bad for your website, as they prevent…

New Post (Learning journey dropping tomorrow)

Today, I created a new post on how to set up a voice assistant using the raspberry pi, like Siri or Cortana. I got it working, it’s called Mycroft, and I unfortunately do not intend on using it. My main SEO learning from today was optimizing lists; it is easy for google to read lists and provide answers straight from the web page, so your site often shows up on top rather than other competitive…

New post :D, new ideas!

Yesterday, I created a learning journey on something or another. Right now, I’m really tired, and I don’t have the tab open so I reckon it was fairly well written. Anyways, I made a tutorial on how to set up a Network-Attatched Storage Device (NAT). Pretty interesting, I am now looking into starting a nextcloud server as my next tutorial. It’s like a free, fun version of Google Drive. That does speak to me; hosting…

YOU should know linux commands, and how they could help humanity

While I was writing my linux commands article, I thought about how people should know how to operate computers at a fairly advanced level. The commands are a foundation of being able to know your way around a computer; you know what to do when someone says “make a file” or “move to the ____ folder”. This will allow you to take full advantage of a machine, and will give you a basis on understanding…

New post, no learning journey

Today I wrote a new post for like 4 hours, search engine optimized it to the keyword Command Line Interface, and spent time researching the most well known linux commands. You know what I didn’t do? A learning journey! AND, I’m SUPER behind on those! So, I’m going to make a pledge of creating a learning journey for every session I finish for the next week. I can’t update you too much on my learning…

Finished article

Today, I finished my article on how to configure USB devices on the raspberry pi. I am making this portfolio after the fact, but one issue I ran into was being unable to detect my USB drive, which inspired me to create a troubleshooting section, which both extended the length and usability of the article. Afterwards, I tried to make it more readable by adding bolded letters and lists, bullet points, and headings. Tomorrow, I…
