Blog Post #4 - Reflection Post (ePortfolio part 1)

For part 1 of the ePortfolio, I went with the fourth option which was mobile optimization. In this option, I had to edit my site in the mobile editor to make it easy and accessible to viewers to navigate on mobile devices. I chose this option because out of the other options it was the easiest and quickest one for me to do. By the time I had the chance to work on this assignment, it was too late for me to do option 1 and 2. Option 3 and 5 felt a little more time-consuming. Despite the time restriction, option 4 was more appealing to me because, prior to this assignment, I wasn’t aware of Wix's mobile editor. I wanted to give it a chance and see what it was like to use it. My experience with using the mobile editor wasn’t as difficult as I presumed. It was easy to navigate and the editing process was the same as the web editor. The only thing that I was unable to do with the mobile editor was I couldn't edit my text so I had to go back to web editor to do so.

Some other major changes that I had to make for my ePortfolio was that I had to update my resume and fix its formatting. I also had to update my ‘Sample Projects’ page and add some more projects and papers that I had done since the last time I updated my website, which was a year ago. I also had to update my major and my social media. When I first made this ePortfolio, I was a Communications major but, since then, I changed my major to Media Studies and started minoring in English. As for my social media, I didn’t have any of my social media accounts linked to my page so I linked my Twitter (X) and LinkedIn accounts. These associated changes benefit me and my ePortfolio by possibly broadening my chances to gain employers' attention and finding a job after graduation. Also, these changes give my ePortfolio more of a professional look and look orderly.

After making these changes to my ePortfolio, I feel better about my website and feel that it’s more presentable for future employers than it was before. Prior to the changes, my website felt unfinished and bland but not anymore after this assignment. Despite my satisfaction with this, I am still open to further adjusting my ePortfolio to make it look even better.
