Week 9 Part B Using Categories

Categories on a blog are a great way to group together different posts in order for readers to more easily find what they are looking for. They help to organize your blog site into broad groups which can then be broken down further into sub categories. I think this is a great idea to keep the page looking clean and easily navigable. Having these categories also helps to make sure your posts are staying relevant to your industry.

Since my business is cookies I would have a category for Flavors. Perhaps I would use this category to discuss new recipes, customer favorites, holiday and seasonal flavors etc. Another category could be Local Events where I would discuss the events our company would be attending or which farmers markets we would be selling. I could also use this category for posts to talk about other businesses in the area. 

Because my business was started with a family recipe, I like to keep my business with a "close to home" feel. For this reason I could have a third category to discuss all things family, comfort food, touching stories from our employees and customers, ideas for spending quality time with family etc. 


I tried to set up Google Analytics but I'm struggling to understand how to set it up or find where I get the URL to copy and paste to share with you.

These are the classmates who's blogs I commented on this week.

    My daughter came home with a bag of Momma's Boy's cookies this week. They were devoured! Thank you for your good product and I hope to see you at one of your events!

Week 9 Part A

Depending on the type of business you have, your blog, social media, website, etc. will be specific to such, making it different from another type of business' blog.  However, regardless of what type of business you have, adding elements of personal touch in your blog can really work well to capture your audience. The goal of advertising and blogging is to connect with your audience. And how do you make connection? You use emotion, humor, relatable content, this all helps to get the person to remember you and hopefully become a customer. No matter your business, you can always find a way to add a personal touch. It may not connect with everyone, but you'll gain a few new followers or customers with the extra effort. I really believe there is always room to add a personal touch in a post no matter the topic or the business. Of course you want to get to the underlying point, which is "Buy my product or service." which I really don't think you can be successful at wi...

Week 1 Blog Post.

As I sit here trying to figure out how to use this website, I find myself changing the themes over and over to try and get it the way I feel will be the easiest for me and everyone to navigate. I want it to be clear with the most recent blog post showing at the top. I chose this because I didn't want you to have to click on something in order to start reading the post.  The original theme I had chosen was titled "Tasty Treats" and looked like it would be a good layout for dessert recipes, photos of food, etc. I chose that because I thought it would be fitting since I have my own business, a cookie company. But since this blog is just for our class I changed it. I also didn't like how it was set up. I wrote out my whole blog post and then after publishing I went to look at it and realized I didn't like the layout.  So I have now chosen this one based on the initial structure. I also like the colors and feel they fit the vibe I am going for. Hopefully this will be c...
