Blog Wrap Up

As you can see, my chosen topic for this blog was the American Bison. This majestic beast is my favorite animal, for its relationship with the Native American people once embodied what I believe to be the purest connection between man and nature. I thought it would be an interesting and unique topic to share with my fellow bloggers. I had 44 page views as of May 10th, which I consider to be a success.

I chose a theme based on the haiku poetry form and how to write one because it's super easy and fun! Further, the haiku is traditionally about nature, so I chose earth tones for my color theme and background music. I also wrote a haiku about the bison to go along with my blog and stay within the traditional subject of nature. The picture and music unreliably show up on the page, so I would say that coding for those elements was the most difficult part of the project.

It's Official! The Bison is America's National Mammal

As cited on CBS News, the US Senate and House approved the passage of legislation that officially designates the American Bison as our national mammal. This measure is an important step in honoring the great bestial entity that once helped our nation's native populations flourish.
