Essay I. Summary of your activities in your contents including new contents created (one paragraph). Provide all the hyperlinks (clickable) of new contents you have created this week.
This week I focused on creating new Seattle‑focused content and making it easy for visitors to find from both my homework and main navigation menus. I added two new posts under HW6: Everyday Life in Seattle and Seattle Spots I Want My Friends to See, each with an image and proper attribution. I also created a new top‑level menu section (Seattle Life) and added both posts there as submenus, while also linking them under HWs → HW6. Together with my earlier Hometown and Traveltown pages and the My Career/My Hobbies posts, this week’s work helps show more of my life in Seattle and keeps the homework structure clear for my instructor and classmates.
Essay II. Summary of your “Exploration” in GA4 (add a screenshot) (one paragraph)
In Google Analytics 4, I used the Explorations workspace to look more closely at how visitors interact with my site beyond the standard overview reports. I created an exploration that focused on page views and sessions for key homework posts and HTML pages (such as my IT trend posts and HW5/HW6 content), and then looked at dimensions like page title, traffic source, and device type. This view helped me see which posts are getting the most attention, how people are reaching the site, and whether they tend to view just one page or continue to a second page. The screenshot I added to this post captures the exploration layout and the main metrics I was analyzing in GA4.
Essay III. What have you started to see that you have not known/seen before in your site? (one paragraph)
By combining the GA4 Exploration with the new content I created, I started to notice patterns on my site that I hadn’t seen before. I could see which homework posts draw the first visits, which pages people tend to exit from, and whether my more personal posts (like career, hobbies, or Seattle‑related content) encouraged visitors to click deeper into the site. I also saw differences in behavior by device and source, which made me think about how the menu structure, images, and text length feel on mobile versus desktop. Overall, this week helped me move from just publishing assignments to actually observing how a small audience navigates my work and where I might improve clarity, links, or layout in the future.
