Creating the Blog

Our first session on Process and Production was to create a blog where we can upload our development and research through the year on our course. Additionally we created an account with Vimeo so we had somewhere to upload our digital work like animations.

Step 1 - Creating the Blog

This is the first page after I clicked the sign up button on the Blogger website. The first part of the registration requires: my first and last name, a username so viewers have a nick name to know me by, a password to ensure I am the only person who can log into the account, my birthday, my gender, my mobile phone number and finally my email address so I can receive updates about my account.

Step 2 - Creating the Blog

The next step required me to create a display name for my blogger profile. This gives viewers a name when they want to know who wrote the blog posts and the name can literally be anything it doesn't have to be a real name.

Step 3 - Creating the Blog

This next step wanted me to choose a template design for my blog posts. A template design is made up of different backgrounds, colours, fonts and layouts. I chose a template called picture window which had a specific layout I liked and then I continued to customise the background and text with a black and orange theme.

Step 4 - Creating the Blog

The Final Step was creating the labels which I can then add to each of my posts to let viewers know what category the posts have come from. The two labels were Process and Production and Theory As Practice, so now my viewers can look at posts specifically under the process and production category or the theory as practice posts.

Overall I am happy with my blog. I like the look of the design and the colour palette I have chose. Most importantly my blog is up and running for my work and research.


Step 1 - Creating a Vimeo Account

The first step to creating an account with Vimeo I had to: put down my first and last name, input my email address and then a password I would use to personally log in to the account.

Step 2 - Creating A Vimeo Account

After putting down my name, email address and a password I basically have my Vimeo account, the last thing I did was go to my email to find a message from Vimeo to complete my registration which verifies my email address to prove I am a real user.

I like the idea of a Vimeo account as I have some where to upload my work and create a digital portfolio as I work through the years.
