Guidance for creating your blog post
The goal of creating a blog post is practice communicating your work in a different format. The audience of a blog post is more general than that of the repository, therefore you may be more selective in which code and output you display. In this case you are building a narrative around your work as opposed to demonstrating how it works, so you may want to only display intermediate and final results as opposed to results of self-checks and not output code.
The original assignment is a starting place. You should use the background provided in the assignment as a starting place, but update the text and provide additional information and at least one additional reference.
Blog Post Requirements

-
