Today in class we learned how to embed both videos and charts/graphs into our blogs. It is really important to know how to do this because the modern day reader with a short attention span, like me, needs something visual to accompany the text. Pictures and graphs and charts give the reader a visual representation of what is either stated in the text or supplements the text to enhance the blog itself. Professor Hatch suggested using Swivel to created graphs and charts to embed into your blog. We also used Google Maps to embed a map into he blog.
Ultimately, this post would not be complete without a map/chart or video, so below I posted a map indicating the distance from my hometown Short Hills, New Jersey to D.C. And as a treat, you can view a video of a fire that took place a few blocks from my house during winter break :). You can find that video in the Short Hills pinpoint. Enjoy.
