Waching daily Oct 5 2017

Hi guys welcome back to The Marketing Techy and today you're going to learn

something about websites and how they age. Okay so I get the question often.

When is it a good time to redesign my website or to refresh my websites? How

old can a website get before it gets to be too dated? Now there's a couple

of different things we have to look at. Firstly the technical side of it. So if

you've got a really old website, some of the software, some of the plugins, some of

the things that you use on that website. Even the HTML that's in there could be

dated and it might be starting to break your website for modern browsers, modern

computers and modern cell phones or mobile phones. Okay so the technical side

is one side. If things are starting to break or getting to be slow or unusable

or not user friendly it's definitely time for an update to your website.

Secondly if your website is starting to look dated so maybe in your industry the

other companies are refreshing their websites often and now your website

actually looks dated compared to some of the other websites in your industry.

Maybe not even in your industry because design trends are always evolving after

a few years your website will just look old. Another thing that you have to look

at is if it's not displaying well on mobile phones. If things like buttons and

menus are too small to really touch on a mobile phone screen or if it's not user

friendly on a mobile phone then it's definitely time for an update to your

website. A general rule of thumb is if you're in a cutting-edge technology sort

of space with your company or if you're in the design or fashion industries then

you would probably redesign or refresh your website look and feel about every

two years. If you're not in a cutting-edge fashion or design industry

you might be able to get away with every three to five years.

Places like guest houses or restaurants maybe could get away with every

five years if they've got a really classic, nice

looking website. So anything between two and five years.

That's the life time for a website. The good news is if your website is

WordPress based it's not starting from scratch when you're going to do the new

redesign. You can keep all your content your blog posts your photos. Everything

that you've accumulated on your website inside of WordPress we can still use and

we just change the look and feel and you've got a brand new website, but it's

only the way it looks and feels. It's not what's behind and that is WordPress and

all the other software and plugins that you're using so we just check that

everything is still supported that everything is updated that it's still

secure that nobody can hack into your website. Things like that and then on top

of that we change the look and feel and you've got a brand new website. Okay and

it's a lot more cost effective than starting from scratch and designing a

new website from scratch because you get to move a lot of your old website over.

As I said it doesn't look anything like your old website because everything

on top that does things like color schemes, layouts, fonts, font sizes, where

everything goes, all of that you can customise within WordPress. So basically

the options are unlimited as to what the new website looks like, but you can reuse

a lot of what was on the old one. Okay so that saves a lot of time and money. I

hope that answers your question. if you've got any other questions feel free

to comment or to contact me with your questions. I might make another video or

just answer you directly thanks for watching this one and stay tuned for the

next video.

How to Write a Song: Tips to Generate Imagery for Lyrics | Part 3/9 | Andrea Stolpe - Duration: 7:18.

So how do we come up with good imagery for songs?

There are some wonderful techniques that we writers

can make daily habits in order to generate a lot of sensory material.

And these techniques can also train us to really not experience writer's block

everywhere again and to be able to come up with good, original weighty song

material on demand, whether you feel inspired or not.

One of the bottom foundational exercises is to do daily sensory writing.

You might have heard this called object writing or destination

writing, but really what it is focusing in on your senses as your write.

Our senses our taste, touch, sight, sound,

smell, and then adding in movement and awareness of good verbs.

So the process would go like this.

You might find a quiet place either in the morning, or afternoon,

or the night--

whenever you feel like you can have some space for yourself.

And you also might try doing this not by writing or typing necessarily,

but maybe it's talking into your phone, whatever way you

feel that you're able to relax, and let your ideas flow would

be how I might suggest going about it.

So when you sit down to do this writing, the basic idea

is to stay focused on your senses.

You might have done some meditation or mindfulness training.

When we do this, there's this process of allowing thoughts to surface

and having a non-judging attitude.

The same is true when we do sensory writing.

Treat what rises to the surface regarding taste, touch, sight, sound,

smell, and movement, as simply thoughts, simply ideas.

They're not useful or useless, good or bad,

because they're out of context of a lyric.

They have no purpose, except just that's what's happening for you at the moment.

We're writing in paragraph form too or maybe a list.

We're not trying two complete sentences, certainly not trying to suddenly

be good spellers, or good at grammar.

We're just letting the thoughts rise.

The way to begin could be to choose an object, like a coffee cup, or glasses,

or running water, and then you begin to sensory right focused on that object.

But another way to approach this would be to try choosing a where,

a sense of where something is happening.

Because I find in many songs the sense of where it's happening

is where the first verse begins.

And so sometimes, it's easier to see how that particular paragraph

of sensory writing can lead directly into a song if choose was a where.

So for example, a location or where could be at the airport

or in the lobby waiting at the gate perhaps of the airport,

waiting for my flight at my gate two hours before the flight

leaves at the airport.

The more specific I'm getting, perhaps, the more ideas that are coming to me.

We can also do this with a sense of when.

When we choose a time frame, it can bring ideas to the surface.

So for example, 2:00 AM, OK.

2:00 AM in an alley in New York City.

That gets a little more specific now.

That might be a different song than 2:00 AM leaving

a nightclub, 2:00 AM in a laundromat.

When you attach a time to a location, it's easier to come up with ideas,

ideas surface, and then you begin doing your sensory writing.

What do you taste?

What do you smell?

What do you see?

What do you hear?

What is moving around you?

And when telling language, that sort of journaling, ranting,

and raving our thoughts and feelings, start to seep into the writing,

like it typically does when we're just simply writing lyrics, or journaling,

don't judge it.

Don't be a critic yet.

It's not time to criticize.

It's just time to brainstorm.

So you pat that little idea on the head.

You say, thanks for arriving, and then you move back to sensory detail.

Doing this kind of writing for five minutes, maybe 10 minutes a day,

is a beautiful way to engage your senses,

become skilled at writing any time of day or night, and any idea,

and it generates a lot of material.

If you do this for a month and you look back over the amount of material

that you've amassed, you will find lots of songs

begun within those sensory writing.

We don't have to stop there with our writing just using

sensory writing, or destination writing, or object

writing as simply a brainstorming tool.

We can actually use the material that we come up

with in those paragraphs or lists of sensory writing as song lyrics.

This process is going to allow you to come up with song lyrics

anytime, anywhere, and have lots of material hanging around to use.

And so when you then decide to sit down and write a song,

or collaborate and need material to bring to a collaboration,

or even write with another artist who has their ideas of what they want

to say, this process is going to give you tons of material

so you always feel prepared.

And again, you do not need to worry about writer's block,

because there are so many ideas that you already have waiting to be formed.

yeah it kind of makes you feel like you're a college student yourself, walking to each building

because then you kind of get to learn more about the campus

I would say that you should donate money to CFK because

there are some kids that their parents can't pay for the classes

I have a scholarship going here because my grades are good

but there are kids that don't really get that much of an education at their school during the school year

I took a writing class last year and the teacher

she showed us the different types of writing that I didn't do during the school year at my school

and she pulled me over to a side and told me about my writing

and said that she understands what's going on and she gonna try her best to help me

My name is Jasmine Priest and I have vision
