That part was pushed for health issues but as soon as I can it will be done since all the content and all the website layout/functionalities are ready to go. Working on my website was an amazing experience that allowed me to sift the focus from some personal issues and I truly appreciate that. </p> <h2> Progress on objectives </h2> <p>The initial objective was to create a website with new content but because of the health issues that arose a new proposal was accepted to start the project with the content that was on my Coil Blogging section and that was done. All the articles I had on my Coil Blog are now uploaded on my website so that, when I can return to social media, it will allow me to make the website available right away with content ready to be released. </p> <h2> Key activities </h2> <p>As I’ve previously mentioned the key activities were creating my website and new content but that shifted to creating the website and uploading my existing content. Both are finished and ready to publish as soon as possible. </p> <h2> Communications and marketing </h2> <p>When I’m ready to make the website public my goals for advertising still remain the same, a small Twitter campaign and keep posting about it on social media. </p> <h2> What’s next? </h2> <p>Next, as soon as my health issues allow for it, I plan to make the website public and start at first publishing the content I had on my Coil Blog, along with returning to my social media presence. Shortly after that I will start working on new content to always have a string of drafted content to work with and will mix that new content while publishing on the website.</p> <h2> Additional comments </h2> <p>I just want to say thank you to the wonderful people that are connected to Grant for the Web because, besides giving us the opportunity to have our own projects, they are always there for us. When I had to tell them about my health issues and the barriers they were bringing to make my project as it was supposed to be originally, I had nothing but support from the Grant for the Web Team and I can’t thank them enough for that! </p> grantreports PatriciaC Wed, 27 Jan 2021 19:59:18 +0000 https://community.interledger.org/patriciac/webpage-for-baking-photography-pet-care-crypto-web-monetization-awareness-grant-report-1-4mdn https://community.interledger.org/patriciac/webpage-for-baking-photography-pet-care-crypto-web-monetization-awareness-grant-report-1-4mdn <p><a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/BSB4DBm31Wb3PfC5rSG94LgxMNjzudz4L9cS5zmIDpA/w:880/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy9p/L2g2dzd2MGhsNnNq/aGhtMTdyYWlrLmpw/Zw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/BSB4DBm31Wb3PfC5rSG94LgxMNjzudz4L9cS5zmIDpA/w:880/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy9p/L2g2dzd2MGhsNnNq/aGhtMTdyYWlrLmpw/Zw" alt="Alt Text" width="880" height="499"></a></p> <h2> Project Update </h2> <p>So far the work done has been to create the website, customize the looks of it, purchase all the hardware included on my grant. My primary struggle right now is still having out of stock hardware that I can’t find anywhere. Due to high custom taxes in Portugal I have to buy either here or inside the European Union to avoid those extra taxes. Adding Covid-19 with the crypto mining surge is making it hard to buy things like good processors or graphic cards. Have stock arrival warmings all over the place hoping it doesn't take long to be able to buy the reminder hardware on my budget.</p> <h2> Progress on objectives </h2> <p>The objective for my grant was to have a website where readers could find diverse content, not only in English but also in Portuguese and at a later phase in French as well. I’m a bit behind on my project, in this case having the website already live with content, due to discovering I have shoulder/upper arm tendonitis around November that made me nearly have to stop all repetitive movements. like typing, while I was doing the frequent physiotherapy treatments. That forced resting period and a personal situation that occurred early January that made me need some isolation time, contributed to this delay but I’m now getting back on track and the website will be live and running in a short time. </p> <h2> Key activities </h2> <p>My key activities were mainly focused on creating diverse content to upload on the website. I can now start creating content but can’t yet force my arm too much because I’m still doing physiotherapy treatments to this day. For that reason I’m going to mix links to my content on Coil with less frequent new content, since I have a lot of content on Coil that is not time specific. Hopefully linking content to Coil will bring a few more eyes on the platform as well.</p> <h2> Communications and marketing </h2> <p>I haven't reached the communication and marketing phase yet since that is a step for when the website is public. My communication and marketing will be made using social media sharing of the website and content once I have the website live.</p> <h2> What’s next? </h2> <p>Now I am moving forward with creating content as fast as I can to have the website live with more than just Coil Content links. Also a pryority, although it’s not up to me but stock availability, is to try to get the hardware that I couldn't buy so far because assembling the desktop is also content I want to have on my website, besides being extremely needed for video editing. </p> <h2> What community support would benefit your project? </h2> <p>If a fellow guaranteed from the EU knows of a Computer hardware store that ships internationally with no shortage of good processors and/or graphic cards please let me know, I truly appreciate it.</p> grantreports
