Marina´s Portfolio Website

Marina Ferrer — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 02:33:23 +0000

My new portfolio is launched: www.marinaferrerlo.com

This space will show my professional and academic work. On one hand it will present academic papers and a more “research” resume and on the other hand it will present another face more “professional” on social media and advertising.

At the same time, I want that people can contact me on other social media channels. In the future it will have more portfolio examples and a blog attached to the site to improve my personal brand image.

There’s still a ton to do, including getting the portfolio up to snuff, but Derek J. Walker’s Digital Online Portfolio site is up and running. I also want to use a logo instead of my name but haven’t come up with anything I like so far.

Sam’s Digital Portfolio

Samantha — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:31:22 +0000

My Portfolio is up and running at www.samlar.com.

Overall, the structure, layout, aesthetics, and social media integration I am proud of. However the content I was able to find fell short and will need a bit more time to buff up. All of the goals I initially set out for this website were successful!

Staying on top of SEO with Google’s Panda

Janae Gerard — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 01:28:37 +0000

In early 2011 Google released a new SEO algorithm named Panda. Since then, they have released several updates that made big impacts on the way Google ranks sites. Adam Heitzman at sixrevisions.com wrote an article breaking down the top tips to optimize for Panda. Here is a brief rundown of the article:

Design for Engagement and User Experience
Googlebot can tell if a site is well designed and interactive based on page view analytics such as time spent on the website and number of web pages per visit.

Spelling and Grammar are Important
Google evaluates the content quality of websites. If it sounds like a robot wrote it, it won’t score well with Google.

Avoid too Many Ads
If there are too many ads, Google assumes it isn’t a real website.

Less is More
When a page is no longer in use, lose it. Those pages still affect your rankings even if they’re not visible to visitors.

Ensure High-Quality Code
High-quality code means a high-quality website. Run your website through quality assurance processes to make sure.

Here it is! Show Me Tiger! version 1.0 is alive! It’s first incarnation is at its basic stripped down best, while I learn to custom build an original template. Why do I love to complicate things?! I am such a nerd, I really DO want to learn css… thanks to Kathy and this class for inspiring my inner coding geek!

It’s Alive!!!! And ready to roll…

Mariana Llamas-Cendon — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:49:16 +0000

My portfolio at xpressednotrepressed.com is live… I am not thrilled with the result because most of the information I used is quite old (I left my portfolio and files in LA) , and whatever I could find online about myself. So, I will keep on working on it to turn it into what I really want and how I really want, but for now it helped me to get a grasp of what WP is about. I will not exchange themes, I am happy with Atahualpa, I just need to learn how to manipulate it and tweak it to make it my own. But it’s alive!!!!! (Love horror movies )

ThorTolo.com: A “reel” online adventure

Thor Tolo — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 00:35:08 +0000

Exciting is a good word to describe all the possibilities for my site as it launches.

There are as many miles as moons to go, so I can’t wait to enjoy every minute. It’s already giving a glimpse of where I’ve been; now I want it to spark where I’ll go!

I’ve appreciated getting to know so many new friends… and now we’re all just a quick click away from one another.

Thanks to Kathy Gill for another superb MCDM course.
