Twitter Week

Twitter

Ahh, Twitter

Up until last week I have managed to avoid Twitter. I have evaded it with the most amazing skill. I have dodged it like it's Kale.

But no more.

This week we learned about Twitter. We had to make a post on Twitter using our articles. I used my article about GBBO and posted it on Twitter. It took me a few tries at it because I kept not liking the way that it would turn out.

We learned about how Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media have different specs for their layout. Each one has a different size that they want different images to be. I went in to use Canva, tried to experiment with that a bit, but it made me feel a little angry so that will be a song and dance for another time.

I think my Twitter post came out ok. I included the dreaded hashtag
#stillnotafan
#nothanks
#onlyforclass
as well as the link and a photo. It looked nice and directed people right to the article so I would say that's a success.

Maybe Twitter will grow on me more as I learn more about it and experiment with it more.

He absolutely loved Thomas the Train, so I decided to go all out. I made a two-tier cake with a tunnel running through the bottom. Yup, a tunnel. People thought I was crazy when I came up with the idea and when I started working on it, I fully agreed with them! It was a week-long process with molding a tunnel out of gum paste, making sure it was the right height and width, and making sure it could withstand the weight of the cake. When his birthday came around I spent the morning frosting and decorating the cake in bright blue frosting. It took the better part of 4 hours, but the look on his face when he saw a train track and a battery powered Thomas the Train running through his cake was worth every minute of it. Don’t get me wrong, it was not one of my bes

BBC says farewell to Great British Bake Off in a dramatic move to channel 4

The Great British Bake Off has left BBC and joined Channel 4. With millions of loyal viewers, many people seem to have concerns about the switch. For anyone who has never watched Great British Bake off, let's give you the rundown. Great British Bake Off, or GBBO as it is fondly known to many, is a British baking competition which brings in amateur bakers and selects the best one through a process of elimination. If you have watched a show such as MasterChef it is the same basic premise. GBBO, moved from BBC to Channel 4 for selective reasons. While these reasons are being guarded, it has been rumored that money was one of the leading reasons for the switch. While BBC offered a good amount of money, it simply was not enough and Channel 4 swooped in and purchased GBBO for 75 million.   When GBBO was on BBC there were no commercials. While many people are used to sitting through commercials while watching TV, faithful BBC viewers pay extra to not watch com
