Promotion Post

A blog’s survival is entirely dependent on the readers. The readers’ feedback and support it’s what keeps bloggers going. By promoting my website, you will help me put out better quality content and expand my fan base. There are multiple ways you can do this but using social media is the best way. Social media allows you to target demographics that would be otherwise hard to reach. More specifically, sharing posts on Twitter let’s other users see my post and thus increasing web traffic. Twitter is the social media tool that I chose because it is the social media application that aligns with my future goals. Twitter has over 335 million active users so one repost can make a huge difference. The exposure that I get from Twitter will not only help me but it will also benefit the readers. Twitter also lets users engage and discuss my topics which are great ways to keep readers active on your blogs. Twitter also lets you search for potential blogs using keywords in the search function. By adding tags to my blog posts, I can help increase my visibility through the use of Twitter’s algorithmic search function.

Researchers have found another symptom of the Corona virus. There has been multiple reports of young, healthy adults suffering from blood clots and strokes due to Corona virus.

As research continues on the virus, it is crucial that we know every possible symptom in order to prepare for it.

Trump the Clown

The corona virus is a pandemic that has taken the lives of thousands of innocent lives. It has brought the world to a halt. We still don’t know that outcome of the virus but researchers are working hard to come up with an life-saving vaccine.

However, this did not stop Trump from stating false information about the current progress of the vaccines and the virus. During a press conference, Trump stated the following questionable statement:

“And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful.”

Commercial Post

This was my first time ever creating an commercial so it was a bit of a learning process. It definitely brought me out of my comfort zone but I’m glad I got it done. I was planning on using Garage Band since I’m on a mac but there were some technical difficulties. First, the intro song would not play at all. After playing around with the settings I got it to play but it was playing at an accelerated speed making the intro song too short. After finally giving up on Garage Band I decided to use Audacity. This was also a learning curve but it was way easier to use than garage band. The only problem I had with Audacity is that it would not pick up my mic since it is not compatible with the latest version of macOS. To fix this issue, I recorded my voice using voice memos and then import it the audio. Before importing the audio, I had to convert my voice memo from m4a file to WAV file since Audacity did not support the m4a file. In Audacity, I use a total of three tracks to complete my commercial post. The first track has the intro song in which I used the studio fade out effect in order to bring the intro song to a fade and slowly flow into the “music bed”. In order to create the music bed for my narration I lower the volume to around -4.0db. Lastly, the third track holds my outro song in which I use the “studio fade in” in order to fade out and finish my commercial. Overall, this was an interesting assignment and although I did not enjoy I’m glad I got it done with. I can confidently say that narration is not for me.

Peanutized Myself

I decided to peanutized myself instead of the powerpuff girl creation since I grew up watching the Charlie Brown movies. Overall, the process of peanutizing myself was fun and simple. It took me about 5 minutes to complete the whole look. I believe I took most of the time deciding what I wanted my Peanut character to wear. I tried to make my character to resemble me as close as possible but due to the options they have it was challenge. Nonetheless, I think my character is loosely similar to me. This homework assignment brought nostalgia because I used to create character of myself when I was younger. I forgot what websites I used but it was very similar to the website I used to peanutized myself. One way in which the website can improve is adding more options to choose from and letting you create your own background. By adding more options to choose from, you can make your peanut character exactly like you. Also the idea of creating the background yourself can be beneficial because It’ll give the peanut character a more personalized setting. Another feature that can be added is the ability to customized Snoopy with different clothing accessories.

Memes – Kid Cudi

Memes have become an important part of our online culture. There’s pretty much a meme for every situation no matter how light or dark the situation is. Chances are you have created a meme yourself or even share one with friends and families. Memes can be beneficial to my website because it allows us to form another way in which we can relate to the topic. This is why memes that are relatable to you are often more funnier than those that are not. I decided to use the Kid Cudi humming meme because I’m a huge Kid Cudi fan and appreciate his music. The origin of the meme started based on the way Kid Cudi hums in his songs. He has signatures hums that he adds to his songs and it creates the perfect balance that flows with his verses and beats. The ‘Kid Cudi humming’ meme features Elmo as a nuclear bomb is going off in the background and an alien being lifted into his space ship. I believe the reason they chose these pictures to go along with the caption is because eccentric origins of the hum and the feeling you get when you hear it in his songs.

Rutgers Suspends Face-to-Face Classes

Earlier this week Rutgers president, Robert L. Barchi, sent out the email stating that face-to-face classes has been canceled until March 12th and he also suspended classes for the rest of the week. This was the proper measure to take since there has been already confirmed cases of the corona virus in New Jersey. Students have been advised to stay indoors and continue to disinfect in order to prevent anymore outbreaks. Universities across the US have been shutting down as well. I think there’s a bigger chance of an outbreak at a university since we’re all cooped up together on campus which makes getting infected a lot easier.
