Add some visual interest to your blog by including an image that is thematically related to this week’s topic, either an image you saved to your computer or a screenshot that you took. You might grab a screenshot of a post on Twitter, or of a chart or graph from one of the articles you read, or of any evocative image related to social networking.I also uploaded a file of the assignment.
