Part I: Describe your menu structure and what you have implemented in your CMS
My menu structure includes a home button which takes the user to the homepage, which is simply linked to my IP address. The IT Trends page was created with a submenu linking to the posts explaining what CMS, docker container and virtual host service are. If the users decide to click on the text IT Trends, the website takes them to a page with a list of the same three posts as viewed under the submenu. Similarly, the “My Life” submenu allow users to navigate to “My Career” and “My Hobbies” posts. Another navigation page was created for homework assignments sorted by weeks, starting from week 3 to week 5. The HWs page has submenus for each week and each week has a further submenu with links to all the website/post created for the class.
Part II: Discuss what new contents you have added. Provide all the links of new contents.
I have added two new posts, “My Career” and “My Hobbies”. My career post is a short summary of my professional career in the aerospace industry. My Hobbies post provides a discussion of what I enjoy doing outside of school and work with images taking by me during these activities. These two new contents are placed under My Life navigation page in the header section. They are also linked under “About” in the footer section. This HW5 summary post is also a new content, which includes a time log of the date and amount of time that I spent on other students’ websites.

Part III: Discuss what you have developed and achieved in managing categories/tags.
I have added a tag cloud under just above the footer of my home page. This tag cloud includes all the tags that I have added to all of posts on my website. The sizing of the tags is determined by the number of times that the tag was used. These tags are also added individually to each post based on relevance to the topic.
I have also created four categories, including IS 5320 Assignment 3 and 5, My Hobbies and My Career categories. A list of categories is added to the main homepage, allowing the users to view all posts under same category in one click.
Part IV: Describe how you use category search for visitors (i.e., side search bar) and tag cloud plugin.
A search bar was added to the homepage just under the header navigation bar. This search bar allow the users to type in key word to search for related posts. For example, if the user type in the word “hiking” into the search bar and hit search, the website will display search result with content from My Hobbies post.
Tag cloud plugin was not activated due to compatibility issue with the web server. I attempted to activate tag cloud plugin as shown in the assignment video instruction. Unfortunately, this led to unstable connection where I had to reboot my AWS EC2 instance and reset my CMS webpage.
I did add a tag cloud feature that was built in to the theme. This is a static list of tag placed just above the footer. These tag links works similarly to key words used in the search bar. When the user clicks on a tag, the website will display all the content related to the tag. For example, under the tag “Content Management System”, there are three related posts with topics on CMS, container docker and virtual host service.
