a) The process of creating my blog went pretty smoothly although it was a tiny bit difficult creating a website name since almost all the names that I wanted for my website were already taken. I eventually had to compromise on a website name that WordPress suggested to me. I was also surprised of how fast the confirmation to activate my blog was sent to my email, since I had previous experiences when an email confirmation took about 5-10 minutes to be sent! So overall, yes, creating my blog went pretty well.
b) What I learned while creating my blog is that you can choose any style theme of your choice, which I thought was nice because of all the various kinds of themes that can enhance the look of your blog. I also learned that you can choose a premium plan which includes access to advanced design tools, the ability to monetize your site with ads, and the ability to upload audio and video files! (But for now, I’ll just stick to the free plan, heh.)
On the evaluating web pages assignment, I learned that not every website I find can be credible. A website’s credibility is one of the most important things to consider when trying to find information on a topic. A websites credibility includes evaluating its authority, accuracy, currency, and objectivity; failing to evaluate a website based on these four categories can lead to looking up information that is biased, stereotypical, not accurate, not reviewed (by editors), and not up-to-date.
