To Blog or not To Blog?

I started this blog because it was a requirement for my class, but I’ve found a passion. I’m not passionate about a lot of things, but blogging is now one of my favorite things. I have a lot to say, and what better way to say it?

A personal statement that communicates how you wish to be known.

I am a loyal mother, partner, daughter, sister, friend and soldier. I’ve worked hard to earn everything I have. I don’t forget or forgive, and I have patience. I have learned to delay gratification for as long as it takes to get better results.

One communication technology that I would like to see in the future.

I would like to see a more interactive version of Facebook that integrates hardware and software to place users in each other’s virtual reality. Facebook helps families who are far apart to stay in touch

Hello Everyone

My name is Wensdaille Nelson, I am 28 years old, and currently in the United State Army Reserve; I live in Miami Florida. I am a mother; I have two years old and four months old. I work for the Department of Children and Family as a case worker; I process the Food-stamp, Medicaid and Cash cases for the state of Florida. I have an Associate Degree in Special Education from Miami Dade College. I am currently pursuing a Communication Degree at Kaplan University. I have been thinking about a Master of Arts in Global Governance at Florida International University or a Master of Arts in Child Protection at Nova University, I am not sure yet.

I have started exercising, I run at least three times a week, and I lift weight five times a week. I want to be a body builder.

My experience as a Kaplan University student

 

My Experience as a Kaplan Student

My experience at Kaplan University has been a rollercoaster. I have been lied to by the Financial Aid, and Student Advisement departments. I have been unfairly targeted by a Professor because I questioned a statement she made during the first week of class. When I asked my academic advisor to be transferred from her class, I was told that I was beyond the 3^rd unit and could not be transferred, which I found out was a lie. After that term, I registered for three classes; I attended my classes and started my term then I was dropped out of a class. When I asked why, I was told when a student drops below the 3.0 grade point average they are no longer allowed  to take three or more classes at a time; later on I also found out that also, was a lie. I honestly believe that same professor was the cause I was dropped out from the course.

As a Kaplan student I have developed my communication skills necessary for aspects of my life, either professional or social. I attended Kaplan to acquire the ability to communicate information accurately, clearly and as intended. In today’s society, people need more knowledge and skills to be adapted and I have acquired those. I have learned how to better use social Media sites such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to help me keep in touch with those I choose to after graduating for Kaplan University.

 Thank you and have a great day.

 

 

A tip for choosing a theme:

Selecting a good theme is like selecting a good product. When designing the theme of a blog consider which features best fit your blog; first, decide your page width, spacing, and layout.

 

As I was designing the theme for my blog, I had a hard time designing something that I like and represents the topic for my blog. I wanted something beautiful and it had to enhance the content of my blog. When designing the theme of a blog consider your blog content. Consider which feature best fit your blog, by first deciding your site width, spacing, and layout. When choosing a theme, if you do not like it at first sight, don not pick. Selecting a good theme is like selecting a good product. Must consider, if you are willing to pay for your theme or not. Make sure you read and understand the user’s licensing agreement. Consider using a premade theme framework with a built in portfolio page because it is easier to use; user friendly. Consider how many other sites may have the same or similar theme. Pay attention to content hierarchy and what drops and where; does it handle videos, is the layout clean and simple.

A tip for designing a blog:

If you want your audience to stop and read anything you write and pay attention to what you have to say, your blog must make a good first impression.

I have learned that if you want your audience to stop and read anything you write and pay attention to what you have to say, your blog must make a good first impression. The same goes for your blog. The blog must be easy to navigate, informative, entertaining, and useful. Content should be well organize and understandable. You should not make your readers have to put in effort to navigate and or understand what you are saying. Your website should at least include a search box, menu, and an about page. You must have pictures that are relevant to your topic. Your website must load quickly; therefore limit the material on the post. Keep your site updated; visitors will leave your site quickly if it appears to be outdated. Make your site mobile because more people are browsing the web using their phones, tablets, and other electronic devices.
