"I had the same problem. For some people, just posting the link automatically turns it into the embedded video, but for me that didn’t work. I also tried copying the embedded info into the HTML thing and that didn’t work. I just put the link for now. I am hoping to find out some magical way to fix it in the future. :("

"Hey, Jill sent me this in an email when she read the iPhone homepage, which is just the first two paragraphs of this post. "-2nd paragraph, 2nd sentence: "composed team" (and the syntax of the beginning of that sentence) is a bit odd ... -Same sentence: "holidays were endless" (grammatically, it should be "are," not "were"). This seems too simple/reductive. This is your chance to hook your viewers, to get them to want to view the site and learn more. Is the thesis/argument/point - the "so what?" of the class project merely that holidays are "endless" - that there are many of them? This is not focused enough for a research project. Maybe you should consult with Kyu's Introduction - or even contact him - or the class - for some more specific language for this section). Cheers, Jill""

"These seem like great resources and from reputable sources, just keep in my using the hyperlink function when you create your final post because these links weren’t clickable (for me at least). :)"

"Mother’s day is a good topic because it is completely universal. Everyone has a mother and as far as I know tries to do something special for her on that day. Ying Zhang, in her interview talks about how the Chinese buy their mothers perfume and healthy things as opposed to in America where she buys her mother cake and flowers. You might be able to expand on that. Toby Joseph’s interview doesn’t seem to me as useful as Ying’s. Personally, my family on mother’s day gets together, my aunts, uncles, cousins. We normally have a barbecue in which the men do most of the work (i.e. cooking and cleaning). I buy my mother flowers and a gift certificate to the nail salon. I am not at all sure of what they do back in Germany or Italy (my originating countries), but generally here, we try to pamper my mother as much as possible. I hope this helps! Good luck"

"I asked a friend of mine who was really in touch with their culture. I figured she would be the best source. Her parents are fairly recent immigrants so they were able to give her that information. And as far as organization? Nope, haven’t gotten that far"
