No posts on the blog for a week! You need to be uploading anything stored in draft as it doesn't exist for me unless it's visible. Your filming so far needs to be recorded, illustrated, discussed and evaluated so far at this stage. Make sure you're doing everything you can here to make the blog interesting and varied. Currently this is a level 3, but you ought to be aiming for a level 4.
