Reflections

Introduction

Process of creating this blog has been an uncountable experience for me. Lots of researches need to be done before I can publish any of my posting to make sure information in my posting is credible. In the process, not only my exposure has been widened but my mindsets on several issues manage to be change after looking at many perspectives. Besides that, I have also learned to familiarize with web interface and follow the design principles in a multimodal environment. During the process of creating and maintaining my blog, many difficulties I have encounter although the site has provided me some simple editing tools. Hence, bloggers should be feeling thankful and lucky because we do not need to be expert in html before we can create our own blog anymore. We just need to type everything in the space provided and then the site will help us to convert into html languages in order to post on web.

Theories applied

Although this is only an assignment, but the efforts of completing was never easy. Lots of reading I have to read in order to relate the information with the theories. Nielsen’s theory was always on my mind during the period of my blog production. Concise, scannable and objectives was applied in my blog as these are Nielsen’s advice after study on the ways web user read on the web. It is because reading on the screen is harder than on print and it makes most of the web users are reading the content on web by scanning in an F-shape pattern.Besides that, another important lesson that I have learned is importance of hyperlink usage in web. Not only for convenient but it also attract reader to read and click as it allow readers to link to the site they are interested.

Blogging

Previously, I never love bogging but now I realize blogging is a wonderful tool where anyone can post anything for everyone to read through public media- Internet. Since it is not private, individual should be aware of the content that they post up. Some material might be very sensitive to talk about. As Schirato & Yell has mention before that right material has to be use to suit the target audience cultural background. Hence, blogger must contemplate his intentions by consider the implication of posting to the audience and the situational context before posting anything.

Conclusion

Bloggers always blog for a reason and purpose either public or personal to achieve an objective. Every information posted must be credible based on credible sources. Therefore, as a professional and ethical blogger, references and citation is a must even if the subject matter is serious and sensitive to avoid infringement or copyright issue.
