It has been a lot of fun going out, taking photos and capturing videos for the San Marcos Skate Blog. This experience has really opened my view of the community of skateboarding. We started posting on January 27, 2020. Since then, we have had a total of 63 visitors to the site. I just want to say thank you for all of those people that made the decision to come checkout this blog. There was 43 visitors in the month of March, and 20 visitors in April.
An aspect of this blog that could use improvement is the consistency of posting. Now given the current state of society, this critique could be an exception. The aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic has had quite the impact on skateboarding as a whole. Skateparks all over Texas have remained closed throughout the virus’s duration. So trying to come up with content to post about became a bit problematic. This blog site is mainly about the skateparks around Central Texas.
In terms of promoting the content, I think it could have also been executed more consistently. Social media is a powerful tool if it is used properly. We mainly promoted the site through Tweeting. We could’ve promoted through other Social media such as Facebook, and Instagram. We can take these experiences and think about them for the future. The chances of using this tool in future employment is very high. This blog gave a a look into the importance of staying active, updating and continuing to post at least once a week. I want to continue to post to this blog. We are pretty much obligated to become more familiar with tools of technology. At this time, we’re maintaining our social distances and waiting for things to open back up.
