After you have completed all of the steps listed above for this lesson, you are ready to complete your process blog post. Please include the following in your blog post:

The blog posts should be designed and encourage a reader to engage. Include paragraph breaks, captions, subheads, blockquotes, or other typographic elements to make the post visually accessible and desirable to read. Once the Process Blog Post is complete, submit a link to the post in I-Learn. To submit the link in I-Learn, click P5S1 link in the left navigation and then click on the Open button at the bottom of the I-Learn window.

After you have submitted your assignment in I-Learn, you will need to provide feedback to your team members in WordPress. Your feedback to team members will be on the following areas:
