Portfolio Essay

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to change my website as much as I would have liked to because when I tried to make changes to the CSS, it didn’t show up on my website. I tried to change the entire background of my webpage but, I was only able to change a small portion of the background which only showed up at the top of the webpage. But, I was excited about the fact that at least changed because it showed that I did make some progress. Just making this change took me a good 2 hours and although I know that it should not have taken that long, I had to figure out where to paste the CSS code in the CSS section on the umwblogs website. I was also able to change the title of my “About Me” section and was able to add the essay about myself under that tab. I still couldn’t find out why my 2 videos from the Obama rally would not show up on my website. I followed the troubleshooting website but, the videos were still not viewable. It would have been nice to know how to change the background for individual pages on my website as well because I wanted to have a theater theme on my blog page and a political themed background for my web essay on political parodies. I think I was able to convey my rhetorical message about political parodies well. My about me section was rhetorically informative as well. I think that when people read the content on my website they will automatically become interested in knowing more about me and political parodies. It may influence people to look up more information about political parodies in this past election as well as older political campaigns. I wish that I was more tech-savvy so that I could enhance the site a lot more so that it could look more appealing. Posted here is a link to my website: http://arieviv.info/
