This blog about virtual reality gaming, focusing on the HTC Vive, was a fun project / experiment that I had to do for one of my classes. The tools that were effective I would say is twitter. I got a tweet liked by the developer of the game I was playing and reviewing, which was awesome. Some ways I would improve my blog is to upload more content, tweet more, basically get my blog out there as much as possible.
This experience could benefit me because I might be making sites of some sort in the future, who knows. I make logos for companies, so sites aren’t that much of a reach. Obviously, the way I would use the tools I learned here is if I ever got a job in social media or any sort of site responsibility. I would know how to promote things via twitter, and know how to edit things on WordPress.
The stats on my site are low, but there. I got one referrer from twitter, which was in February, so the beginning of the semester when I assume everyone was checking out other people’s blogs for ideas. My most popular week however was the week of April 17th. I assume though it was just my professor checking out the three posts I made. The most popular posts of the year were a 5 way tie of basically all my game reviews.
