This Week's Assignment

(This post is part of an assignment for the class I am taking, Writing for Digital Media at the School of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This week, I will embed a Google map, open a Twitter account, and edit a Wikipedia entry.) 

Below is the map I created in Google. I've actually done something like this before when planning a road trip, but never embedded one in a web site before. The hardest part was figuring out where the html code was to copy.

Wireless Hotspots in Chapel Hill, NC

My Twitter

To the right (top of page) you will see my new Twitter feed. I found the html code to do this at WikiAnswers. 

My Wikipedia Edit

The wikipedia entry I edited is presented (in part) below. My edits are in bold purple and large font size (when needed):

The Bradley Method of natural childbirth (also known as "husband-coached childbirth") is a method of natural childbirth created by Dr. Robert A. Bradley (1917–1998) and popularized by his book Husband-Coached Childbirth. Teachers of the Bradley Method believe that - with adequate preparation, education and help from a loving, supportive coach - most women can give birth naturally,without drugs or surgery. The Bradley Method emphasizes measures that can be taken to help keep women healthy and low-risk in order to avoid complications that may lead to medical intervention.

The primary goal of the Bradley Method is healthy mothers and healthy babies. The method holds that, in most circumstances, a natural  (drug-free) (<--moved) childbirth is the best way to achieve that goal. Over 86% of Bradley moms having vaginal births do so without drugs. The classes teach nutrition, relaxation and natural breathing as pain management techniques along with active participation of the husband as coach. Parents-to-be are taught to be knowledgeable consumers of birth services and to take responsibility in making informed decisions regarding procedures, attendants and the birth place.
