This is an example of an animated gif I found on Pixabay.

To the left is a sample audio file called Audio recording of an Australian Raven (Corvus Coronoides). I selected it because I believe it paired well with the sunset image, maybe not a raven exactly but the sound of birds come to mind.
I clicked on share this file on this site and it gave me the URL which I then used to embed on to the website.

This is an example of an embedded video.
This video consists of a woman performing a poem comparing the sunset to different times in her life and journey of self discovery.
I embedded this from YouTube, which offered embed code, but there was no usage policy or licensing information.

As frustrating as this project was, once I got the hang of it, it was pretty interesting. I didn’t realize how many different types of media and file types there are until now. I learned how to add and share different kinds of media to my website and to my Google Drive. I also found out about Creative Commons and how to properly credit everything. These are definitely skills I’ll be using a lot in the future!
