As the course is nearing the end I wanted to take time to reflect on the things I’ve learned throughout the course. I really enjoyed the things I have learned throughout the semester, but also the personal learning of building the website and all of the background work as well. The main learning curve when […]
Process Post #10: Google Site Kit & Analytics
Today in class the focus was on a deeper dive into Google Analytics. Gaining access to two programs: “Get Started Using Google Analytics 4” & “Using Google Analytics 4 for Your Business.” The courses go in depth about the process of using and learning many features on the program.

To start off the week it was getting the website link and domain running. It did take some extra time as I didn’t purchase the activation price for the domain I had chosen. Continuing through the week I did have to email Reclaim Hosting to iron out another issue I had with the website. While […]
