On effective designs
The "watermark" background design for blogger has not been effective for me. It does not allow the viewer to see blog posts. I do not recommend applying this setting.
Reflecting on my previous post
In my previous post, I embedded a map from geocommons into the "Edit HTML" tab and described the map in my "compose" tab in the same post. As a result, the reader does not see the map and the description, they only see the description and are given a link to see the map. My recommendation: make the map and the description two separate posts so that the reader can see both on the blog. This makes it more convenient to refer back to the map when reading the description.
A mape with three sets of Demographic Data (by income level).
This map is not clear. You cannot see clear distinction between the levels of income. Instead of seeing regions dominated by one income level, most regions consist of all three, mixing the color code. Too many layers of data will obscure view of the bottom layer (in this case, the size and location of landfills are covered). It would be best to have three maps: one showing each income level in relation to the location/size of landfills.
