After Class
For your blog post this week, I’d like you to make a simple Timeline JS visualization and post it on your blog (It will not embed, so post a link to the Timeline). It only needs to be between 3-5 slides. It will need to have textual information, photographs, a map, or a video. If you need an example, use the User Interface Timeline. It is fairly simple in its design. Timeline.Js Make link
