This week we are looking at Mashups and had to create a webpage that included a Google Map with directions and several other items.
I have created websites in the past using Weebly and have often found it easy to add widgets to my pages showing maps, calendars or photos. I have also added RSS feeds, videos, audio and the such to LibGuides.
I created the page here in my WordPress blog and will provide the link below. My inexperience with WordPress makes what should be a quick job into a longer process as I learn its various ins & outs.
Creating the Google Map & embedding it onto a new page was simple enough as was adding a YouTube video. Adding a Twitter feed and weather box proved to be more of a challenge as I tried many embedding codes before finding some that worked. I made several attempts to add an RSS feed to the page but, so far, have had not been successful in that endeavor. All in all, though, it is much easier adding these sort of bells & whistles to websites than it was a few years ago. It has been great working with WordPress which I had had no previous experience with before this course.

Your Mashup turned out really good. It sounds like it took awhile to work on adding your weather box to the new web page that you created in word press. It has been a pleasure working with you over the past few weeks and hope that you have found working with your blog to be a good experience. Now you have a record of all of the different things that we have done over the past few weeks and can use it as a reference for future projects.
