Write an article based on this "Create a blog design that reflects your blog's image. Choose elements to include in your blog. Make your blog easy to navigate."
article: It's important that you create a design that reflects the content and image of your blog - from your font to your color choices, make sure each element of your blog's overall design is consistent with your blog's image. For example, cartoony art and balloon fonts might be fun choices for a parenting blog, but would be seriously confusing on a professional marketing blog. Consider hiring a professional designer, at least for your header and logo. You only get one chance to make a first impression. Most blog hosts, including Blogger and WordPress, have "themes" that you can install. These can sometimes be customized and give your blog a fun "feel." Most blogs have common elements, such as "About Me" and "Archives" that allow readers to learn more about you and read past posts. Common features include: About Me Categories Posts Portfolio Contact Don't clutter your blog! Make it easy for readers to find the content they're looking for. Offer helpful elements such as a search bar and "popular posts" sidebar. A "splash header" can be a good way to quickly orient new visitors. It is a large banner area at the top of the page that mentions the most important content and offers a quick introduction to the areas of the blog readers will be most interested in. Add a "next and previous posts" feature. One way to build your readership is to keep your visitors hanging around! Adding "next" and "previous" buttons at the bottom of each post will drive your visitors to read more content.

Write an article based on this "Watch out for skin damage if you have Type 1. Take care of your skin if you have Type 2. Avoid deep burns if you have Type 3 skin. Don't tan too deeply if you have Type 4 skin. Monitor your skin for signs of damage even if you have Type 5. Protect yourself even if you have Type 6."
article: People with Type 1 skin will have a combined score of 0-6 for all of the questions above. They have very light skin and burn extremely easily. To protect yourself you should: Wear a strong sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 30 whenever you go out. Using a stronger sunscreen would be even better. Be sure to put it on at all times, not just in the summer or at the beach. Consider using a moisturizer that has a sunscreen in it each morning. Minimize your exposure to the sun by wearing long sleeves and long pants and hats. You can still get burned even when it is cloudy. Get screened for skin cancer at least once a year. You have a high risk for cancers such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Every few weeks you should examine your skin for growths or moles that are getting bigger or changing shape. If you spot anything, go to a dermatologist immediately. If you scored between 7 and 12, you have Type 2 skin. People with Type 2 skin are slightly less vulnerable to skin damage than Type 1, but they still burn easily and need to be diligent about wearing sunscreen. You should: Wear sunscreen when you go outside. This includes both sunny and cloudy days. The easiest way to do this is to use a moisturizer that has a sunscreen in it. To be effective it should offer a minimum of SPF 30 protection. Covering up as much as possible with light long sleeves, hats, and long pants will help as well. Go to the dermatologist at least once a year to have your freckles, moles, and any other spots examined. You also have a high risk for basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Check your skin yourself every month and call your dermatologist if you notice any spots that are growing or changing. If you scored between 13 and 18, you have Type 3 skin. People with Type 3 have more natural skin pigmentation than Types 1 and 2, but they still often sustain sun damage. You can minimize your risks by: Wearing a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 each day and avoiding direct sunlight during the hours when the sun is the strongest. This means staying indoors or staying in the shade as much as possible between 10 am and 4 pm. If you cannot do that because you work outside, use sunscreen and also wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, and a wide brimmed hat. Go to the dermatologist each year to get checked for skin cancers. People with Type 3 are also vulnerable to basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Check your skin yourself each month to make sure you have no spots that are growing or changing shape. If you scored between 19 and 24, you have Type 4 skin. This means you usually tan and rarely burn. However, this does not mean that your skin cannot get damaged. You should still protect yourself: Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater each day and avoid the strongest rays of the sun. Stay in the shade as much as you can during the middle of the day. Check your skin for growths each months and have a professional exam once per year. While you have a lower risk for skin cancers, you can still get them. If you scored between 25 and 30, you have Type 5 skin. This means that you are unlikely to burn even when your skin absorbs sunlight and sustains damage. You should protect yourself by: Wearing a light sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher each day. This will protect you from damaging ultraviolet rays. In particular, try to stay out the direct sunlight during the middle of the day when the rays are the strongest. Watch for signs of acral lentiginous melanoma. This type of cancer occurs more frequently in people with darker skin. It is particularly dangerous because it often occurs in areas that do not get high exposure to sunlight. This means that people often don't recognize it until it is advanced. If you notice growths on your palms, the bottoms of your feet, or your mucous membranes, call your dermatologist right away. Examine yourself monthly and always go for a yearly exam. If you scored 31 or higher, you have Type 5 skin. This means that you don't burn, even when you are out in strong sunlight. You are still vulnerable to skin cancers and need to protect yourself. Using a mild sunscreen of 15 or higher will protect you from some of the worst rays. You can also avoid spending a long time outside in the sun during the middle of the day. Recognize acral lentiginous melanoma. People with very dark skin can get these melanomas in areas where they are less likely to be recognized soon enough. They often occur on mucous membranes, the soles of the feet, or the hands. Don't skip your yearly dermatologist appointment and be diligent about examining your skin each month for odd growths.

Write an article based on this "Ask your boss to define the expectations of your position. Work with a mentor Seek out training through your work. Take responsibility in workshops, training, and at seminars. Get trained to help with your adaptability and morale, too. Attend a workshop. Learn the technology."

This is often referred to as the "competency based performance management system." Using this approach, skills and traits with levels of proficiency expected are assigned to every job. Based on this, you know exactly what to shoot for. You, the employee, can then absorb the precise skills required to keep you competent enough to take charge of your tasks, responsibilities, learning and growth. Not only this, it encourages you to aim for the highest level of competence in the most efficient and effective manner. When you know what is expected of you, you can rise to the top. . Mentors play a vital role in developing employees, aiding in their learning and growth. They can give you advice on establishing objectives, the strategies to be adopted to achieve the objectives, and keep your morale up, too. What's more, a mentor likely has access to resources and a vast network of people who can help as well. A mentoring relationship should focus on building and developing skills, competencies and personality. The personality aspect involves helping the mentee review his strengths and shortcomings, appropriate behavior and actions to be implemented, and work on improving communication skills, problem solving skills, and teamwork habits. Having a mentor could help you move in alignment with the expectations of the organization. This can to a great extent serve the purpose of reducing gaps between where you stand and what is expected of you both in the short and long term. There is a growing need for employees to keep pace with the changing trends and technologies at the workplace. They need to keep their skills updated at all times it's not just you! Because of this, a lot of workplaces offer training. One of the best ways to keep pace and eliminate or minimize employee gap is through the training program at your work. If your work offers one, take advantage of it! Not all training programs suit every employee. The training program should be one offered by your work, chosen carefully by your boss. It may be a waste of time and resources (money, facilities, trainers) if the training program is not applicable to the employee or the field, offered by some third-party organization who doesn't have your goals in mind. Your willingness, competence, and if you are able to tap into your potential are all key factors in the success of any training program. If you are ready, willing, and able, you could be trained in such a way that could make you multi-skilled and ready to take on diverse roles and responsibilities desired of you. However, if you don't take the training to heart, it's likely you'll end up right back at square one. Through training, the gap and shortcomings that have been hindering you from fulfilling your objectives may fade away. This allows you to explore your work world to your full potential. Again, only if you take advantage of it! Training enhances adaptability of the employees by preparing them for any changes in the workplace or in technology. With this training, you may become readily able to accommodate the team, the organization as a whole, and even yourself. Training enables employees to perform better, often resulting in work being more tolerable. This can impact their motivation and job satisfaction because they feel "not left out" or "not left behind." You may also feel taken care of by your organization because they've provided you with a platform to keep yourself updated, prepared for the future, and made valuable. Training is a concrete attempt to retain you and make you a part of the team. When you feel this, you may feel more connected to your work, improving your morale. A workshop is something different than a formal training program, seminar or meeting. It can be used in tandem with training and development programs. It's usually more informal and an ideal platform to introduce the employees to ways to reduce the employee gap. Sometimes, the employees are asked to determine ways they think would help them. In other words, it's more hands-on than training usually is. Workshops are great for soft skills, too, which are just as important. They can even help with relations between clients, customers, peers, and managers. On the other hand, they can also address oral and written communication skills, negotiation skills, and correspondence issues. If your aim is to improve your soft skills, workshops are the way to go. In workshops, the employees get a chance to take ownership of their learning, skills, growth in the organization and acceptance in the organization. Afterward, you emerge feeling like you have a hold on the company's ideas and are part of their vision. Often workshops are used to introduce technologies and trends that the organization would like to adopt. Once you know what technology is to be incorporated, learn it! This can greatly lessen the gap by keeping you up with where the company sees itself going. If you don't know how to learn the technology, odds are you have a wealth of options you haven't even thought about. Would your coworkers be able to help? Could you take a class? What about the Internet? A mentor? If your company doesn't offer training, seek out ways to solve the problem yourself.
