The link takes you to the county website for loudoun. There's lots of layers you can select from to get information of the county.  This includes imagery for 2014, parcel data, land use information, and lots more! Definitely a black hole of time clicking around to see attributes of the county!

How to upload files/embed them!

This is just the method I used to get the files up and to work:

1. https://sites.google.com/ Go to this link and use your google account.
2. Select CREATE on the left menu bar.
3. fill out the necessary information and make a website.
4. Go to your web site page.
5. Click on the more options gear button.
6. Then select manage site.
7. Then on the left menu bar select "Attachments"
8. This is where you should upload your swf file.
9. Once you've done that. Click "View"
10. Your flash file should be in the browser to test and try out
11. Now take the web address some thing long like this:

https://24df66ec-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/ggs411akise/FinalFootbalLab2.swf?attachauth=ANoY7cpwGv1nHDbz9_ZADbDyjCtmtuQrPeTvAzOITw5MEj9QDiMEoVWu8gxAtuDrE4CiZhQFP1ECkCMZdOWBLZq2VW4xN1tb4oqXFaBZrvhHuXWzXSZUFjYVob6yE3CoSR4TKxYYyCxHEFv1WAprVj569nStAh97Zs47jXpkPNArfK4WElHiJ4pdVJNgymYjqVTPTraqkWB6qdrrUJxh6LtDJmokmSFQFg%3D%3D&attredirects=1

And take just the bold part (up to the .swf extension)

12. Now you go to blogger and go ahead to make to your new blogpost.

13. At the very far right of the menu bar there are two buttons (compose vs HTML)

14. select HTML

15. Within that use something like this:

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<embed height="480" pluginspage=" http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" src="https://24df66ec-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/ggs411akise/FinalFootbalLab2.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="620"></embed></div>

Instead of what I have for bold use whatever your link you got was. Make sure your link is in quotes!

16. Now publish and it should work!  Feel free to change the size, alignment, and other attributes if you know how.  Otherwise, probably leave it as it is.

Weekly Blog Post 2!

Here's a screenshot of a cool change over time history map I've found (link to webpage is below the picture)

Its pretty interesting in that not only can you see change over time in history, but you can also select certain points of interest which then open up articles on those specific topics.

The following two images are satellite views of Banda Aceh, Indonesia in 2004.  The first image is from June while the second is from December.  This was an interesting practice in using adobe Photoshop (which is definitely not as easy or intuitive as illustrator was).
