 Explain the process to set up your blog. Was it an easy process? Did you have trouble? What resources did you utilize?

I decided to use BlogSpot.com from the three options listed to create the blog assignments since I am more familiar with format over the others. It was a very easy process to set up the blog, fill in the information as requested and see how to customize the blog. The trouble I did have was where the option is to write "about me" in the blog it only left room for 100 characters so I felt I couldn't really write anything of much importance. The resources I utilized was simply just google in searching for headliner customization. Creating posts to publish to the blog seems very simple!

What aspect did you customize? 

I wanted to customize the blogs appearance and style. As well as the information "about me". I may try to customize the blogs layout further down the road. 

How could you use blogging in a professional job? 

With my job currently as a full-time corporate charter pilot, I think it might be fun to be able to blog about the unique places we fly to. It could also be used to inform other pilots of what to expect landing at various airports and how the ground support is from airport to airport.

Final Exam Week!

During the Fall 2023 semester I continued learning in  in the Business Associates course at Gateway Technical College. One of the courses I took this semester and why I created this blog was for business communications class.

As the semester unfolded, I discovered that the course had a strong focus on writing and communicating, and I soon realized the importance of proper etiquette in the world of corporate interactions.
