SLC-S21W1: Creating a Blog for Amazon Affiliate Marketing

This is my homework post for Steemit Learning Challenge Season 21 Week 1 assignment of Professor @hamzayousafzai’s class, Creating a Blog for Amazon Affiliate Marketing.

Task 1 - Create a Blog for Amazon Affiliate Marketing ^{Follow all the steps above to complete your blog Setup}

1. Go to https://www.blogger.com/ and if you are not signed in, sign in by clicking th [SIGN IN] button.
   
2. Choose an account to sign in to blogger.com.
   
3. Fill in the name for the blog. Once done, click [NEXT].
   
4. Type in the URL, keep changing it until it is available. Once done, click [NEXT].
   
5. Make a display name. Once done, click [FINISH].
   
6. On the next window, press the 3 vertically arranged lines to bring up the menu.
   
7. Let's see what the blog looks like so far. Click the [View block] button.
   
8. This is the default appearance of a newly created blog on bloggr.com.
   
9. Time to download the template provided by Professor Hamzayousafzai on Google Drive.
   
10. Once the compressed file was downloaded, I extracted it.
    
11. I opened the menu again and selected [Theme] to apply the theme provided by Professor Hamzayousafzai that I had just downloaded.
    
12. On the window that appeared I pressed the orange [Customize] button.
    
13. From the options on the drop-down menu, I selected [Restore].
    
14. On the dialog box, I pressed [Upload].
    
15. I searched for the theme file I had downloaded earlier, selected it and pressed [Open].
    
16. I checked the appearance of the blog so far, and this was what I found. Now it looked completely different.
    
17. I accessed the menu again. This time I selected [Settings].
    
18. I scrolled down and clicked on [Post template (optional)].
    
19. Next, I opened the text file provided with the template I downloaded earlier and copied the code in it.
    
20. I pasted it in to the Post template and clicked the [SAVE] button.
    
21. Now the code had already been in the Post template.
    
22. I then accessed [Layout] through the menu.
    
23. Here's what the interface looked like for the layout settings on bogger.com, I was about to disable some widgets as directed by Professor Hamzayousafzai.
    
24. I selected a widget to remove, clicked [Remove] and then clicked [SAVE].
    

Task 2 - Submit Your Blog Link ^{Share the link to your blog so I can Review it and give you feedback}

The blog link: https://onlytopshoesforyou.blogspot.com/.

Task 3 - Add Three Dummy Product Posts ^{Each post should have a title description and image related to the dummy products you selected.}

1. Next I visited https://www.amazon.com/ and utilized search bar to search with the keyword "shoes".
   
2. The picture below shows the result for my search. I downloaded 3 pictures from there.
   
3. I went back to my blog and accessed menu again, this time I clicked on [+ NEW POST] button.
   
4. On the next window, I filled in the title for my first post, and the detail along with the image I downloaded earlier.
   
5. I did the same for all three images I downloaded, means I had 3 posts when I was done doing that. The picture below shows how the homepage of my blog looked like when I was done. I think there was a problem with the [VIEW AT AMAZON] button that seemed to be partially cut off.
   
6. The image below shows the appearance of my blog when one particular post is selected (by pressing the thumbnail on the homepage, for example). In this single post view, the [VIEW AT AMAZON] button looks perfect.
