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 adding more travel content and organizing my menu so visitors can explore my trips easily. I created two new posts, Portland and New Orleans, each with free‑to‑use images and attribution. I added both posts under my Travel Journal section for general audiences and again under HWs → Homework8 for grading. I also reviewed categories and tags on all posts, making sure travel posts share the Travel category and city‑specific tags, while homework posts keep their IS 5320 Homework categories. Finally, I created a new Thank you page and created 2 new event conversions (thank_you_page_view & menu_click_travel_journal). See screenshow below for events triggered.

Essay II. Summary of your “Thank you” event conversion (add screenshots) (one paragraph)
To track my new Thank you page as a conversion, I first created the page and added a simple message that I can redirect to after important actions on the site. In Google Tag Manager, I set up a GA4 Event tag with my Measurement ID and used an event name thank_you_page_view. I then created a Page View trigger that fires when the Page URL contains the unique path for my thank‑you page and attached that trigger to the event tag. After publishing the GTM container, I visited the thank‑you page and confirmed in GA4 that the thank_you_page_view event appeared in the Events list. In GA4 Admin, I went to Data display → Events and toggled this event to Mark as conversion, so visits to the thank‑you page are now counted as a key conversion action in my reports.

Essay III. Summary of your “menu click” event conversion (add screenshots) (one paragraph)
I implemented a menu click event to see when visitors interact with my main navigation. Using Google Tag Manager, I enabled click variables, then created a Link Click trigger that fires when the Click Text contains the label of one of my main menu items (Travel Journal). Next, I created a GA4 Event tag with my Measurement ID and an event name menu_click_travel_journal, and passed an extra parameter with the menu item text so I can see which link was clicked. I attached the Link Click trigger to this tag, tested it in Preview mode by clicking the menu item on my site, and published the container once I saw the event firing correctly. After waiting for GA4 to process the data, I marked the menu_click_travel_journal event as a key event in GA4 Admin so that menu interactions now show up in my reports as another conversion‑style signal of user interest.
