COMM305: ep1, page optimization

Kaitlyn Maguire

FOR MY EPORTFOLIO 1 I chose page development because I already had a solid foundation for my ep, but there was something about my ep that I just really didn’t like. Having the ep tutor take a look at the pages that displeased me the most led to some amazing feedback and suggestions. Her biggest suggestion has to do with my homepage. On the homepage I will be removing the three stories and replacing them with buttons that are links to separate pages to read the story; therefore, minimizing the amount of scrolling necessary to make it through my homepage, while also modernizing the layout. This will make it far less overwhelming to those individuals who do not enjoy reading as much as I do. I have not decided if I will make a separate page for this section of my ep, or if I will proceed with the button/link idea, but I am currently editing and playing with ideas without it changing my ep. For now my Ep is as it was, but I look forward to how I change the homepage stories (about me stories). The other big change in my page development is my course project page. This page has word document links, which my ep tutor informed me is a very bad idea to have and click on. I will be removing all of these, and replacing them with pdf links. That change will come before the development of my home page/story page (about me), however I must first find all the old documents so I can convert them into pdf documents. After ep1 in complete, and I finalize my about me stories I plan to add all the papers I have written in the past that I am proud of. Showing my love, and skill, for other subjects, such as history and English, is really important to me. Overall, the three changes I plan to make to optimize my ep is revamping my homepage to separate the about me stories into their own area, redoing the links to the essays on my project page, and adding assignments that are not communication related (but I am proud of). Overall, given the nature of this class I believe my ep will become something I am really proud of, and will finally make public to my employers and online presence. WORK-LIFE BALANCE right now for me is a very interesting and untamed beast. I am lucky enough to have phenomenal and understanding professors. I have been sleeping in, which I would like to change, and playing video games as a reward for finishing my homework. I believe work life balance looks different for everyone, and for me this year it looks like switching from my school computer to my gaming computer; overall, I hope to obtain the work life balance by making time for myself to relax and do things that stimulate my brain in a way that gives it instant gratification- which helps me stay afloat when I am not doing well.
