After finally completing my project I can breathe a sigh of relief. I initially had some trouble finding statistical information for Austria in the late 19th to early 20th century, but I think I managed to find some useful information. Finding the exact methods for splitting an atom also proved to be a challenge. I do not understand physics nor have I ever taken a physics class so it was interesting learning about the discovery of nuclear fission and all of the people involved. There were a surprising number of women doing research on this subject, but it was Lise Meitner who was able to put all of the pieces together.

Formatting my project on this blog was not easy. First I could not figure out how to do a block quote but thankfully I discovered the “blockquote” button. It is very convenient. Next I did not know how to format the text into subheadings. After looking for quite some time, I stumbled onto the “toolbar toggle” button which revealed the Paragraph drop menu. The last issue I had was indenting the references in my bibliography. I believe the hyperlinks are not allowing me to indent.

I really enjoyed learning something new about history, technology, women, and blog formatting.
