My Topic

This topic is specifically chosen because I have very personal experiences with this location. I always look back at the time I went to Daytona Beach because I had one group of friends going to Texas for spring break and another going to Daytona and until this day, I do not regret the decision I made. Great memories, great friends, why wouldn’t I want to choose this as my topic? The theme that I used was “Twenty-Twenty”. I chose this theme because the layout best fit for what I was going to be blogging about. I also chose it because of it colors. The colors stood out to me which I believed would keep the visitors engaged. I strictly stayed with the Alegreya theme for the font. I did this because many people tend to overuse different font styles; making the overall assignment look tacky and excessive. I wanted to be more simpler and straight to the point so it would be easier for all to understand.

Other information such as what I have learned from creating this blog is that WordPress is very beneficial. Playing around with it, I was able to discover multiple things that could benefit me in my personal field of work. Things such as creating a layout properly on a page/post and creating accessible links to another page. There’s so many ways to edit things and make it appealing to the eye. Overall, I enjoyed creating this blog and I hope you enjoyed it!

My Favorite Restaurant

During the time that I stayed at Daytona Beach, I can say without a doubt I had gained some weight. Friends, activities, food, repeat. This pattern continued over a course of a week and when I tell you, there was no limit to how much food was being ate. Simply site seeing, you could walk into a restaurant, sit down, and see three more restaurants from outside the window. But the main one that kept my friends and I wanting more, was Joe’s Crab Shack.

Setting right on the pier, this establishment provided some of the freshest seafood that I had in a long time. From buckets of crab legs to signature shrimp platters, we were able to walk in hungry and walk out on a full stomach. Although the food is a bit pricey, you cant help but to take into consideration the scenery.

The best time to go was during late evening. The afterglow of the sunset reflecting off the horizon while eating fresh seafood, surrounded by the ones you love. You just can’t compete with that.

Also, for those that can drink, a drink that was highly popular at the time was the “Shark Bite”. These drinks were so popular that each time we went they were sold out. So if you ever come across Joe’s Crab Shack, you better hurry and see if these drinks are still in stock!

Daytona Beach Bandshell

Honestly, what doesn’t Daytona Beach have? When you hear the name you would assume that it is only a beach with maybe two or more places to eat nearby. But this, this is everything a person can imagine put into one gigantic area. Yes Daytona Beach provides food, rides, etc., but to top everything off, they have an amphitheater right on the boardwalk that overlooks the crystal clear waters.

Daytona Beach Bandshell

From May through September,this amphitheater, known as the “Daytona Beach Bandshell”, consists of jazz, musical bands, and even concerts.

This area is a very infatuating site if I may say. During my trip, since this area can have up to 5000 people for events, needless to say there is always something that’s happening. All in a simple walk across the boardwalk, I witnessed a wedding, cheer competitions, live bands playing across the area, and stunt performers. It’s incredible to think that so many different activities can occur in one area at the same time. So if you are your friends are struggling to figure where the next trip is to, look no more because Daytona Beach is waiting for you!

Amusement Parks

Have you ever traveled somewhere and thought to yourself, “Wow, there is really nothing to do here?”. Well don’t worry because you wont feel like that when you go to Daytona Beach! This beach is no ordinary beach because within walking distances, there are numerous amusement parks! Parks such as the Daytona Lagoon which is located just across the street from the boardwalk.

There are over twelve water rides including a giant wave pool and lazy river for those who want to just sit back and enjoy the scenery.

But wait there’s more! For the non-swimmers, they have a family fun center that provides miniature golf, laser-tag, a 70 foot sky-rail zip-line and more! Another amusement park that offers a lot of fun is the Joyland Amusement Center. Located right on the boardwalk with the many other establishments, this center brings a variety of family-fun thrill rides, ski-ball, etc.. And if that doesn’t catch your attention, the street performers surely will. For some of them, this is their daily lives so they perform daily and from my personal experience, they are quite entertaining.

Qlik Sense Sites

The article that I chose that was related to the Qlik sense application was “Jefferson Health”. The industry of the company is “Appointments Physician Practice Scheduling”. This Qlik application is used to standardize and centralize scheduling data. The audience for this application is towards physicians and central physicians who practice leadership.

What I found most interesting about this application was how organized it was. From providing the exact numbers of how many visits there were to showing the total appointments by day of the week, it clearly provides enough information about the upcoming schedules. It also provides what type of visit it is such as if the patient was new, an established patient, and more. Another thing that I liked is the fact that it also provided data on the cancellations of schedules and even their reasons why. This application is a major achievement because it was able to cut back on time that can be wasted waiting for people to come that decided not to, and physicians would be more prepared in the layout of their week.

Notable WordPress Sites

1.) For the first site, I chose to talk about Sony in the first link (https://blog.us.playstation.com/). After analyzing the website, I immediately loved the fact that it updates you on what games are coming out in the near future, what games are going to be reworked on, and trends about the latest popular games (sales, extra map packs, etc.). I also enjoyed the fact that it provides a way to access free games if you become a PS Plus Member. However, a recommendation that I would recommend would be to organize the website a little bit better. It seems very compacted with videos and words and would probably look better if it was displayed in a “top to bottom” format.

Given the site genre, I would more than likely recommend it to some friends and family, but not a lot. I say this primarily because a lot of my family and friends do not play games but for the ones that do would somewhat enjoy this site. It provides a numerous amount of information about the PlayStation’s games, the actual systems itself, etc. It even goes back as far as discussing big sales for the PS3. Overall I enjoyed and would recommend this site to others.

2.) For the second site, I chose to talk about Angry Birds in the second link https://www.angrybirds.com/games/. What I liked most about this site is how easy it was to find whatever I desired to look for. They even provided animations and movies to watch of the game too (very entertaining). I honestly don’t see where the site owner/web master could do for improvement. It was very easy to look for everything and the designs of the site are very appealing to the eye.

Given the site genre, I would recommend this to friends and family. There are no difficulties in finding anything and for example, if an elderly were to go on this site, they would actually understand what they are doing. All you are doing is downloading the games you want to play, purchasing merchandise of the game, and watching animations/movies of the game. All of this is easily provided at the top of the screen and easy to read. Overall, I believe this site owner did a phenomenal job in creating this site.

What it means to lead

1.) The first point that was important to me in the video was telling the truth. It amazes me on how difficult it is to tell the truth because humans are designed to lie. It’s important to me because in order for me to progress in life and to become a better individual as a whole, a lie can only take me so far. Whereas telling the truth may hurt some people, it pushes me to see the good and the bad that I possess.

2.) Another couple points that I found important was remembering who I am and asking for and accepting help. I enjoy receiving help from others because it gives me another sense of knowledge. They may think of things in different perspectives that I may not have thought of and it could be a better idea than mine (opening my eyes to newer and better ideas). Remembering who I am will always be important to me because in anything I do, I need to remember and realize that I am me and no one can take that away from me. These were the key points that were the most important to me in the video.

One of Daytona Beach’s Top Attraction

Daytona Boardwalk

The Daytona Boardwalk in my opinion, may be one of the most family inviting, friend making, breathtaking places for people all around the world to attend. From an open view of the beach, gift shops and more, the boardwalk presents so many things to do! With the boardwalk being so long, it brings so many activities. So many different restaurants to try and so many more people to meet. What makes the boardwalk even better is that the fun never ends!

Things such as classic arcade games and shops are open from morning all the way up until night time! These endless hours that these establishments bring brings endless joy and opportunities for incomers to see. Of course, these memories need to be saved somehow. Well don’t worry, the Daytona Boardwalk brings many opportunities to take pictures. Such as the beach, amusement rides, and even the Coquina Clock Tower. This tower is one of Daytona Beach’s main attraction on the boardwalk that many such as myself have taken a picture by.
