Today we made a Gif out of 10 pictures that explain us. I made this at Gickr.com, and it lets you use any photos to make a gif. I thought this was very cool and I will enjoy this being on my blog.
Last class, we created E-commerce sites. For my site I picked something that interests me, so I picked guitars. I enjoy looking at different guitars, and i find it very cool and interesting. Setting up my site was very easy, and i finished very quickly. On the free website on Weebly a person can only have 5 products for sale.
I went on several different music retailer sites, and I collected pictures and information then I put that up on my blog. The name of my website is www.elliottsguitarsandmore.weebly.com go have a look! Here are some screenshots of my website! The past few classes, we have been discussing e-commerce, and it's benefits for a business owner, or really anyone who has something to sell. Probably the biggest advantage to e-commerce is the fact that is is available all the time. So while your competitors who don't sell on a site may close their doors at say 7, your customers can still purchase from you 24/7! E-commerce is not just for sellers, it also benefits the customers. For example, you need to finish some last minute christmas shopping, but you also need to finish cooking some christmas cookies for the next day. Normally you would have to go out into the cold blowing snow or try and get a family member to do it for you, but with E-commerce you can just log on, put the items in your cart, and pay instantly! Also with online shopping a lot of people share coupon or promo codes with everyone, so this means you can save a lot more money than if you just went out and bought it at the store. I personally love online shopping, I can find everything i need without ever even having to get off my couch, however at the same time you need to be careful, because sometimes things are better bought in the store in person.
I researched nike Kobe basketball shoes. From Nike, they were $180 with free 2-4 day shipping. It wouldn’t tell me if there was sales tax without signing in. I also looked at the same shoes on eastbay. They were $179.99, and if you spent $75 you got free 2-5 day shipping. I also found them on ebay for $180, but the shipping cost was $15.65, and it was 3 day shipping. So overall the best place to purchase these would be either the Nike website, or Eastbay.
A couple classes ago, we explored google products. These are not all of the products, but these are some of the biggest and most used ones. Google products are tools that can help to make your life easier, and more enjoyable. on product such as Google Maps, lets you map out your trip or journey, and it shows different routes, how long it would take you, and things like that. Another great product from Google is the Calendar. The calendar can be synced with other devices, it can also use someone else's calendar on yours. You can choose what events you want to see on there, so for example if I have my basketball schedule on the calendar, and I also have my sisters basketball schedule. If I wanted to send my schedule to my grandma, I could just click show only "Elliott's Basketball" and her schedule would disappear. I use Google Products everyday, and I feel they help me immensely.
Click here to try them out! Firefox add-ons are little applications, that will enhance your experience online. They can add new features, or change the appearance also. Some of the add-ons I added were things for shopping, and playing games. When you download an add-on, it appears up with the other toolbars and bookmarks. I added a button to compare prices when I'm shopping, and an amazon button to search for products. I also added a button that has some fun little games to play in free time. You can download add-ons here.
