1. Summarize your activities, including new content created. Provide all the hyperlinks of new content.

In this assignment, I created two new posts. The first post discusses a Leetcode problem and an interesting property of finite sequences that can be used to solve the problem. The second post shares 5 fun facts about watermelon. I also created the thank you page. In addition to the new posts/pages, I also updated the homework directory page and website directory to include links to the new content.

2. Summarize your “Thank you” event conversion. Include a screenshot.

Configuration of “thankyou” event conversion.

I created an event called “thankyou” that triggers when someone views the “Thank You” page. The trigger essentially checks if the page_location parameter is equal to the URL of the “Thank You” page. This means that it only triggers when users actually arrive at the page, not when they click a link to go to the page. The difference is that a user could click a link to go to the page but never actually get there (e.g., internet issues). Only triggering when a user actually lands on the page is better aligned with the goal of measuring how many people view the page.

3. Summarize your “menu click” event conversion. Include a screenshot.

Trigger configuration for the “GasStationMenuClick” event.
Confirmation of the “GasStationMenuClick” event firing after testing in preview mode.

The “GasStationMenuClick” event triggers whenever someone clicks the “Gas Station Problem” link in the header menu. The trigger works by checking whether a clicked link has text that matches “Gas Station Problem.” I tested the set up by going into Preview mode in Google Tag Manager and navigating to the post through the header menu. After doing so, I saw a click event on the Home page that correctly fired the “GasStationMenuClick” event, confirming that everything is working as it should be.
