Today we were doing more practical things. Brian is explaining more in detail about how to do our portfolio work in blogger.com.
Clear formatting
Copying and pasting text to your blogger. If you copy from other website, there might be differently formatted text, there are 2 ways to sort it out.
1.You copy & paste your text in the notepad and there it transforms into normal text, because formatting is not allowed in notepad. Then simply copy it from there and paste in your post in blogger.
2. The other way is faster, in blogger, you highlight the text and click on the "clear formatting" button on the toolbar, in this way it quickly clears any text formatting.
Using CC images
We also revisited about what we learned at previous class, where we searched for an image that is CC licensed and is free for us to use and saved it on computer and then clicked on insert image, searched where we saved it on computer(very important to remember where you save the file ☝) and inserted just like this:
See the example below, where I copied the text about movie "Once upon a time in Hollywood".
It’s 1969. A TV actor and his stunt-double friend weigh their next move in an LA rocked by change as the scene’s hottest couple arrives next door.
We also we reminded about 2 ways how to add video:
1. adding by using a button insert video on the toolbar, click on the Youtube and search for the video by inserting link in the search bar. See example below.
2. Embeded way. in the way that you go to YouTube→ click share button →copy the code, then go to HTML view on your blogger and paste the code, that's what I did on the video below:
Netflix
Some facts about Netflix. Netflix was formed 1997 as a mail order DVD rental company. Netflix was founded by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. It was unable to be a streaming service because bandwidth was too slow in 1997 to stream video or even audio. https://www.netflix.com/ie/title/81064867
Cookies🍪
We also talked about the cookies. Cookies are a piece of data from a website that is stored within a web browser that the website can retrieve at a later time. Basically cookies are the way of tracking you. We have to understand that we are all little dots in a big corporation game.
Some facts, google used to be a search company but now they are an advertising company. They put adverts around everything is searched.
One of our classmates said a very interesting thing that we are a "Slave to the algorithm". Love it!
#Hashtags
What is the hashtag?- someone asked. Our teacher Brian in a really simple way of explained- it is like marking territory. The way dogs would mark territory by peeing on the trees etc. 😸
Social Media platforms, search engines are using # hashtags. It helps telling what about this post is. People are searching the hashtags. On the website editing, you can put tags, for example in the Wordpress you put your topic word with hashtag at the front, in tags bar. Hashtagging makes all your content more organised.
Shortcuts
Some shortcut key functions:
Ctrl+Z= undo (you will undo your previous action in most apps)
Ctrl+shift+Z=redo (same as undos, when undo is exausted, it redoes)
Adding links
The better way of inserting hyperlinks to your blog is: For more information see Sandras Blog.
and the wrong way is saying visit here for Sandras Blog.
Visit here option is bad for search engine optimization.
TallaghtSocial Twitter account shadowban update
A little update about our Twitter account shadow ban. It is still shadow banned. Doesn't surprise anyone anymore.. Conclusion- new accounts go into jail and nobody knows when they will be released.
Some useful apps for editing video,audio & images
Teacher also suggested a website for editing images called Gimp. It's like the Audacity(for audio editing) but just for images. Where one of our classmates suggested Mojo editing app, that's for phones.
Fav icon
Brian also demonstrated how quick and easy is to make a fav icon. Open paint →draw a circle(hold shift for a perfect circle) →add some letters(it has to be not too detailed because it is very small) →Save it as png file, favicon.ico. Then teacher is going to add it to our TallaghtSocial.com website. Here is my try on it:

#organization
Canva.com
Then we came back to Canva.com website and played around with it, testing different features like making mobile video, here is what we did:

#organization
Types of marketing
Talking about marketing, organic way is better way to promote your content.
There are 2 main types of marketing:
Outband- interacting with customer whether they are interested or not( more aggressive way
Inbound- letting customer come to you, more natural way(this way is more efficient, as it brings more quality leads for sales, people who are really interested in what you do)
Some suggestions on how to implement that, is to go out and give out your marketing live(in memory stick, having a beautiful website, good persona on Facebook). Rise above, for example do a steak add instead of a burger add. Bring more value to the product. In this way you will reach more success.
