What I learned today

Below you will find a sample What I learned today journal entry.

The entry is about how to see network traffic using Chrome.

For our purposes it is not important to know about Network traffic, but how the journal entry is written.

Based on my reading, I see that the entry begins with a problem or what the entry will be about.

Next, the entry goes on to tell what was learned — this case, how to view the network traffic.

The entry moves on to give details about the process.

And it concludes with a summary statement.

Sample below:

# View Network Traffic For New Tabs

Generally when you open a new tab and pop open the Network panel in the chrome
devtools, you won’t immediately see any traffic. This is because the initial
network requests to load the site happened before you accessed the Network
panel.

If you’d like to view the Network traffic immediately without having to refresh
the new tab, you’ll have to make the devtools panel open automatically with new
tabs.

1. Click the _triple dot_ icon from the top of the devtools panel
2. Click ‘Settings’
3. Find the ‘DevTools’ section
4. Check the box for ‘Auto-open DevTools for popups’

Now, whenever you open a new tab, Chrome devtools will be open and the initial
network traffic will be recorded.
