This is not my first rodeo using WordPress. I use it both for HerCampus and for PantherNow. However, it is my first time designing the webpage, unlike how I\u2019ve been using it, which is just using it to post. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I first wanted the design of my profile to be bright and colorful, and use the same theme as a blog, and be similar to how PantherNow<\/a> has its website set up. I did find out when designing my portfolio that the color usage was a bit too much and became a bit distracting, as one of my classmates talked about with Emily Henry\u2019s website. So I switched gears and chose the new theme of a \u201ctortured poet,\u201d which is something I also relate to. Because what is an English major if not tortured. <\/p>\n\n\n\n When setting up the website, I knew a lot of the basics, since it\u2019s pretty straightforward. I knew I wanted to have all my pieces stickied to the home page for quick access, and then they would be sorted out by module. That is where I ran into trouble figuring out how to sort my pieces into module-specific pages. I tried using the \u201cHow To Make a WordPress Website – Step by Step<\/a>\u201d video provided in the reading list, but that didn\u2019t help me much. So I go to my best friend, Google. It took a video or 2 until I found the \u201cHow to Add Blog Posts to Pages in WordPress<\/a>\u201d. The video itself wasn\u2019t that helpful, but the comments on the video were and pointed me in the right direction to sort out my posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The writing was the easiest part of this entire experience. I wrote for HerCampus for 2 years, and I know the general rules about writing for the web. Something I did try to focus on was adding humor into my writing, which is something I\u2019ve been working on with my writers at PantherNow. As well, I wanted to personalize my writing as the Wikihow <\/a>article said. The hardest thing to write for me was the about statement, which I scored well the first time, but was told to rewrite it, which I did. I hope it\u2019s better now ;).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n I\u2019m excited to keep learning and working on this project!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This is not my first rodeo using WordPress.
