The End, for now 18.04.2021 This has been a fun ride. I'm probably going to stop posting since I've finished the project. However, I might revive this in the future; just for posting my thoughts and such. Writing blog posts was very interesting because I could easily spread my advice and thoughts. See you next time!

Blogging on Tilda vs. Blogging on Blogger 18.04.2021 Most of you may not know this, but I used to have another blog before this. I used the Tilda platform, which was a platform for creating websites. Tilda works on the premise of using building blocks to construct websites. For example, you may add a header with the website name and the main menu, an item list, and then a footer with some of the website information. It was very fun to build your website like that, and surprisingly simple too! Looking at your work after finishing it was very rewarding. I blogged on Tilda for approximately 4 months, uploading once every 1-3 days. I stopped posting because I ran out of blog ideas. I didn't really get any money or major viewership from it, but it was certainly a very fun experience while it lasted. Blogger is a little more straightforward. You just select a website template and write posts. Posts are made using a simple editor; I would compare it to Google Documents, but with fewer fea...
Places that I want to visit 17.04.2021 There are a lot of places that I want to visit. Some of them are nice mountainous countries and others are large, modern cities. Nearly all of them are different but still beautiful. So let's begin. The place that I wanted to visit the most is New York City. The view of the skyscrapers is just breathtaking, especially at night. I know that it isn't as clean as shown in the movies and is full of trash everywhere. I really do not care about that, I still think that it is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It truly shows how far humanity has come, from stone and wood tools to skyscrapers over a third of a mile tall. Another place on my list is Switzerland. It is a beautiful mountainous country known for many things: chocolate, cheese, and AMAZING views. I want to visit the country in summer or spring because, in my opinion, it looks the best during these seasons. There are many more things to Switzerland than what I mentioned: lar...
How I learned English 16.04.2021 I speak English fluently now, despite being born a Russian speaker. I did not take any lessons other than what they gave us at school, and we all know that these ones usually do not get you very far. It was all at the center of a videogame called Roblox, which most people reading this are probably familiar with. If you aren't, Roblox is an online platform where anyone can create games. These games span across almost every genre; obstacle courses, shooters, strategies, and RPGs. I began playing Roblox around 2014, which is usually regarded as the last year of the "old" era. I was 7 back then, and I found it from a YouTube comment section. According to the person making the comment, it had fun Halloween games. It was late October at the time, so I was slightly interested and downloaded it. One of the first games I joined was a dance club; I remember walking around with everybody speaking English around me. I still didn't know it at the...
Common distractions and how to eliminate them 15.04.2021 It's sometimes very easy to get distracted, especially when doing online work. You've got the whole internet at your disposal, and that's billions of hours of entertainment and interesting information. Obviously, studying is important, but sometimes procrastinating takes its toll. Here are some tips on how I deal with these distractions. Also, before I start, I have to mention that setting up a timer is important. When resting, give yourself 5-20 minutes so that you don't end up spending too much time doing nothing. 1. Messaging services By messaging services, I mean things like WhatsApp and Discord. Talking with your friends is very important, and I definitely agree with that. However, when studying, these two are likely to take up much of your time. I find that turning your phone notifications off or simply putting the phone away works. That way, when you go to fetch your phone, you have more time to consider wh...
All Microsoft Office applications ranked 14.04.2021 We all have used Microsoft Office applications at some point, and I'm sure that many of you use them now. This includes stuff like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I'll be ranking many of them in terms of ease of use and usefulness. I'll also be excluding Microsoft Access (database controlling), as it's very useful but many people haven't had any experience with it. 6. Microsoft Publisher This is at the bottom of my list because it doesn't have a lot of features and isn't even used by most people. For those unaware, Publisher is used for creating booklets and posters. I've had to use it for a school project about a year ago, and I was wondering why I didn't just use Word or Powerpoint. However, I suppose that it has its uses. 5. Microsoft OneNote OneNote is basically just used for creating notes. It's useful when you want to have reminders and other things easily and quickly set up. However, many p...
