My name is Joseph Ambrico im 19  years old and I am currently in my second year at York University. The major I am pursuing is Information Technology because I have always been interested in working with computers and technology. Ever since I was young I was always interested in figuring out how things work and function, which has led me to want to pursue a career in the IT field.]]> 2022-03-22 20:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108340193 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108349621 The SEO writing project is a project led by the Ifixit website that allows students and contributing members of the community to edit and construct device pages that will make it easier to find repair information on devices that lack useful repair guides. A device page is a page that highlights a device and contains useful information on a device such as troubleshooting information. It's important to use proper SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques because it will allow you to find relevant and valuable information on the web. ]]> 2022-03-22 20:28:41 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108349621 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108355256 So far I have revised one device page (Rigid Generator), as well as created my own repair guide for the Logitech G502 Hero gaming mouse. ]]> 2022-03-22 20:33:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108355256 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108356061 2022-03-22 20:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108356061 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108363656 When doing my projects the most important thing I found helpful was the feedback I received from my peers as well as the Ifixit team! Using the information and techniques on search engine optimization taught to me in class and on the Ifixit website I was able to make 2 awesome repair guides!]]> 2022-03-22 20:40:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108363656 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108371169 My first step in the process was finding a device that I could make a guide for that lacked information that would be helpful to someone attempting a repair. This was difficult for me because there are many devices on the Ifixit website that already have repair guides. I finally decided to make a repair guide on the Logitech G502 hero, the gaming mouse that I currently use. I found that the Ifixit website already has a lot of information on repairing the mouse but there was no guide for adjusting the weight of the mouse, which I believe to be a unique feature of the mouse. ]]> 2022-03-22 20:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108371169 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108372644 Once my topic was approved I then moved on to make a draft of my repair guide. I edited my procedure to make it clear and more concise and took pictures using the photography techniques that Ifixit provides on their site.

My proposal included a rough description of the product as well as the procedure for repairing my device.]]> 2022-03-22 20:53:34 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108379186 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108386483 Finally, I summited my draft I started working on my final device page. My draft was accepted and the Ifixit team gave back helpful information that I used to make my device page awesome!]]> 2022-03-22 21:00:01 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108386483 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108407252 2022-03-22 21:17:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108407252 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108407915 2022-03-22 21:17:46 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2108407915 ambrico2 https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2120194853 Working with Ifixit on the SEO writing project has taught me a lot about valuable search engine optimization techniques. I learned the importance of things like using keywords and how to recognize information that is useful rather than information that could potentially be harmful. 

I learned the importance of working with peers and members of the community who may be more knowledgeable on topics that I lack information on. Using sources such as guides from the community, public forums, and YouTube videos created by the community, I was able to gather information to make an informative repair guide.

For me, the most difficult part of the project was finding a repair guide that would benefit other people. So much information already exists on the web, so it was hard to pick a device that lacked any repair guides. 

I chose the Logitech G502 mouse because it is the mouse I have been using for many years now. I found that almost no information exists on adjusting the weight of this mouse exists, and although the process is fairly self-explanatory, I think my guide will be useful.

I choose the Ridgid Generator because generators are important for people working on job sites in many trades. this project consisted of finding proper sources to include on my device page, finding technical information such as the dimensions of this device, the electrical information, etc. The hardest part of this project was finding official information on this device due to this device being discontinued and taken down from Ridgid's official website. I was able to find information on the official Ridgid public forum that had useful information such as the official manual as well as common issues and repair solutions. ]]> 2022-04-05 21:00:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ambrico2/2d7dlt21u680w698/wish/2131460323
