iMovie- Chicken Tikka Masla Recipe

Here’s my video:

I really enjoyed this project, and would say it’s been my favorite! The librarian was very helpful and through in his explanation of iMovie. When it came time for me to try it on my own, I felt the most comfortable for this project than I had on the others.

 

In high school, I took photography all four years, and by my senior year we had started moving into more digital photography. This was around the time I invested in a DSLR camera and a small tripod. For the most part, I was able to find space on my tiny kitchen counter for the tripod, but when I was filming the temperature changes, the videos turned out shaky. I love the quality of the video, and could have played around with filters to make the image more crisp and maybe even less shaky in those temperature changes.

 

This is one of my favorite recipes to make for myself at school, and since this is my first time living off campus/having my parents cook for me, I’ve been experimenting with more foods. Pinterest is always my favorite place to look for meal prepping, and I’ll share my favorite recipes on my blog (www.lavenderblogs.com).

 

Uploading my video to Youtube was SUPER easy and I had no problem finding the link to paste into this post. WordPress does a great job with embedding images and videos. Hostgator needs to improve on their multimedia functions.

Developing a Site Through WordPress // First Impression

Leave a comment

As an established fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blogger through HostGator, I couldn’t help comparing WordPress to the Site Builder Provided when you purchase a domain through HostGator. Exploring the ins and outs of wordpress after being exposed to a different website platform was challenging, although felt the tool bar is extremely helpful.

I opted for the free version of WordPress and found the amount of individuality is limited. There are only a few options for themes, and I find it difficult to make a site appear to be professional and unique when everyone else is using the same free options. On the contrary, the free starter pack is a great option for someone who is looking into starting a website but does not want to commit to the three year payment plans.  I was impressed with how easy it is to edit and rearrange a WordPress site. With just a brief overview of the tool bar, I was immediately designing and personalizing my webpage. Anyone can create an online presence through  Wordpress.

It was frustrating to find out I was unable to transfer my old site to WordPress. Eventually I do want to explore the options I have with HostGator but for the purposes of this class, I’m going to have to keep the sites separate. I wish I hadn’t spent a few days trying to import my website and instead spent more time focusing on this page. I am looking forward to the midterm assignment, and will be able to use my pre-exisiting site with HostGator.
