Feb. 1 & 3 — Chris Coyier CSS Tricks Year in Review

What are your top 3 takeaways from this article? Honestly I didn’t quite get where the article was going. Since it’s mostly a recap of the year.

  • Some of the stats were interesting, such as “search” accounting for 84% of the sites traffic. This means implies that meta tags (search terms) are important so you should really think about search words that can drive traffic to your site.
  • Two of the most popular articles are things I’ve searched for or am interested in learning more about: Perfect Full Page Background Image and CSS Box Shadow.
  • Travel should be fun. Definitely

In which areas do you relate to Chris? Explain.

In our goals. I need to invest more in my own website so that it’s a reflection of my personality and expertise.

Google the term “Google Analytics”. What is this? Is a great SEO tool. With Google analytics, you can track the statics of a website (visitor geographical location, pages visited, the amount of time spent on a page, etc).
What are three goals that you’d like to define your year as a budding web designer/developer?

  • Build a WP theme and get it on WordPress to share with the world.
  • Redesign my personal website as a one page website with parallax scrolling
  • UX!!!
