There's no single template for the posts through which students in the class should develop your ideas about the architecture of mills and plantations. I'm very much counting on you to try different approaches, some taking a traditional text-driven format, others building on the diagrams or videos or image sets that you have created in social media platforms.
Here are links to a couple of blog posts that might serve as useful–though very limited–models:
– My fall 2010 post on the Bike Brooklyn Beer Blitz
– A post by Geoff Manaugh, chosen almost at random from Bldgblog
One attribute that both posts share is that they draw on experience or another text to open up lines of inquiry that aren't yet resolved. That's probably where you are now in your work. So jump in! Take a chance. Post something.
