Running this blog has been interesting for me. As much as I have always loved movies, I never really thought I would write so much about it. I’m the go-to movie recommender for my friend group, so I knew it was something I would enjoy talking about. My problem is I could better vocalize my thoughts, rather than write about them. Writing has just never been my strong suit. I’ll have things I want to be said, but don’t know the right way to phrase it. Improvement in my writing and train of thought is something that could defiantly had enhanced my site.
If I wanted to promote my blog to a larger audience I could have posted on Instagram. Since it really wasn’t something I wanted to promote to that degree, I stuck to posting about it on Twitter. I don’t have a whole lot of twitter followers since I only got it to comply with certain classes I was taking this semester. My best experience with this blog would have to be doing what I love for school, which is watching movies. I know now how to set up and run a website because of this project, so I think those are valuable skills to benefit myself in the future. If a job was looking for someone to run the store website or something for them, I could put forth my experience in running a website.
Based off statistics on my WordPress, my most popular week was the week of May 4th. I received 4 views and 3 visitors during that week. My most popular post was one of my more recent ones reviewing the movie “The Blind Side”. I think this was my most popular post because of the timing with more people looking for movies to pass time during Quarantine. None of the site stats data surprised me, because I didn’t think too many people were viewing my site based on the lack of interaction when I posted about it on my Twitter. My tweet activity on my most popular blog post had 7 impressions and just 1 interaction with it.
