  • Process Post #10: SEO 101: The basics

    SEO is one of those fancy-sounding acronyms I keep hearing about, but I don’t know much about what it is. Yes, I know it stans for search engine optimization… but what does that mean? Well, I’m going to find out. What is search engine optimization? Search engine optimization (SEO) is a means of understanding and…

  • Burned out? Burnt out.

    I think I’m burnt out. Burned out? Burned… Burnt. You get what I mean (I hope). I don’t know which of the two it is but I think I’m that.  I don’t have the motivation to do anything right now. I’d rather be sitting around or staring at a wall. If anything, I could be…

  • Process Post #9: Yum, digital breadcrumbs

    For content creators, you could say that analytics are the key to knowing and growing your audience. But for the audience? Well, that’s a different subject.

  • Mini Assignment #4: Remixed

    Remixing, in whatever form it takes, is an art in itself. The following images have been layered to create the visuals used in an adventurous print ad for my ad analysis class many years ago. Please enjoy the amateur editing.

    ChatGPT comes up in discussion with almost every class I go to, every instructor I talk to, and every conversation I have with someone. Though to be completely honest, I’ve never used it before. I’ve only seen and heard what it can do through others. So, what is it? What is ChatGPT? ChatGPT is an…

  • My ‘To-Do’ list and counting

    I don’t think I’ve ever had so many things on my to do list before with such little to no motivation to do any of it.  I don’t know what to do.  To give you a visualizer, I have my Calendar and Reminders apps open together on one desktop screen so I can keep track…

  • Process Post #7: Time to build our literacies… ASAP

    I remember discovering the worlds of YouTube, vloggers, and social media influencers all the way back in middle school. At the time, the internet seemed harmless.
