Today, we are going to be evaluating the website \u201cStatic Pages, Moving Meaning\u201d by Cheyenne Newfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we start, I want to talk about what I usually look for in a website. There are two things I find personally important. First, it has to be easy to navigate; there is nothing worse than a website that&#8217;s complicated, because then what&#8217;s the point of it! Secondly, the writing has to be catchy and entertaining. I am visiting to learn about your interests and the theme of your website, not a research paper.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have a little bit of a guideline to follow, we can get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>HOMEPAGE AND OVERALL FIRST LOOK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1024x554.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-82\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1024x554.png 1024w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-768x416.png 768w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1536x831.png 1536w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When you first enter the blog, it is very clear what the topic is. I like how there is a subtitle under the website name that adds more context to the topic. According to The Guardian\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/culture-professionals-network\/culture-professionals-blog\/2011\/nov\/17\/top-tips-successful-blog\">\u201cTop tips for a successful blog\u201d <\/a>by Katy Cowan, to create a successful blog, you must pick a niche theme that readers and search engines will love. This topic is very specific, and I knew nothing about it before, which drew me into the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The homepage&#8217;s style is clean and simple, which I feel matches the theme. It is easy to read, and the colors are nice and cohesive. The font is also a good pick, easy to understand and read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like how when you first enter the website, the first thing you see is the latest posts, which helps the reader get right into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website itself is organized and easy to use. I was able to find all the content fast with no trouble, thanks to the top menu, but if I ever need to find something even faster, there is a convenient search bar on the homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THE CONTENT AND WRITING<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The website has all the required content and exceptional writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The topic of the website is something that I had no previous knowledge of, and Newfield&#8217;s approaches it in a way that&#8217;s welcoming and entertaining<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The content throughout the website is very cohesive; I can tell that it was all written by the same author. It was a very distinctive style: smart and clever, with a hint of sarcasm and humor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which takes me to my favorite part of the website: its sense of humor. The inclusion of memes and little jokes makes the articles very entertaining and easy to read. I chuckled multiple times while reading. The jokes are also relevant right now and not dated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"439\" src=\"https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1-1024x439.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-83\" srcset=\"https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1-1024x439.png 1024w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1-768x329.png 768w, https:\/\/myweb.fiu.edu\/calva298\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7111\/2026\/03\/image-1.png 1064w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a hilarious example!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I appreciate the inclusion of images. When talking about rhetoric, it can be hard to add visuals, but the memes work perfectly and add uniqueness to the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I discuss what can be fixed (it\u2019s not a lot), I want to shout out my favorite article from the site, \u201cHumans Think They Want Control. What They Really Want Is Permission.\u201d It was a thought-provoking read, and I love how it used \u201cLife is Strange\u201d as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>WHAT I WOULD CHANGE<\/strong>The website feels personal and unique, and it&#8217;s well organized; there isn&#8217;t much I would change about it. If I had to pick something, I would add hyperlinks to outside sources, references, and recommended readings. I think hyperlinks keep readers focused on the topic and offer a different point of view from the website. This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.one.com\/en-gb\/online-marketing\/what-is-a-hyperlink\/\">article<\/a> offers a great explanation of how hyperlinks can help make the user experience better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!
