6. Information… Make it relevant and important
You can have a little “fluff” and some humor, but the information about your American needs to be solid.
Same goes for Instagrams and Facebook – this is to show the essence of why your American was great – what they did that made a difference, but you can have a humorous spin on it.

7. Good Sources
Avoid conspiracy theory websites, speculation, drama, and stuff you may find on the cover of Star Magazine.
Don’t underestimate the basics – check out an encyclopedia.
