Self Reflection
I have never made a blog before so this was really new to me. At first I was going to make a blog about mermaids but it didnt feel right so I changed it to Australian Animals. I had to do it twice because I did it wrong the first time. It was a really great experience making this blog. Even though I had to redo it. In future I am planning to make another blog!
