  1. Good work - as blogger is visual think more about your layout and create a background template - see other students' blogs.
    Make sure if you add links or resource materials that you always refer to them. For example the link on iconography - you would also need to provide a couple of sentences summarizing your research. This link just shows where you sourced the information from.
