What I Did and Why I Did It

What I Did

Today I chose to add more information to my About Me page. I originally just had the same information I used for the Online Identity assignment, but I decided to elaborate further and include more background of who I am. Another thing I did was add widgets to my blog. I added the Recent Posts and Archives widgets.

Why I Did It

I added more information to my About Me page so that my audience would be able to get a better idea of who I am. I felt that my Online Identity content needed some editing and did not give a full description of who I really am and what my identity is, both online and offline, so I felt compelled to expand upon the information that i already had and tell my readers a little more about myself.

I decided to add widgets to my blog in order to make it more user friendly and easier for readers to navigate my blog. I added the Recent Posts widget so that when readers are looking through and keeping up with my blog posts they will always see the most recent posts at the top of the page instead of having to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the latest post(s). I added the Archives widget so that when readers look at my blog, they can see a monthly archive of my blog posts from a dropdown menu. This feature is especially helpful for people who begin to read my blog posts later on after I have more posts.
