        1. I had a hard time reading the blog because of the orange type on the striped background. So I can use that as my excuse for not knowing some of the answers. :-)

          Honestly, I only recognized the title page, dedication page, copyright page, index, table of contents, acknowledgments, preface and bibliography.

        2. Hi Maryann. I changed the font color. I think I may ditch the striped background, if it makes my blog hard to read.

          You did pretty well on the quiz, actually.
