Looking Back
During the past 13 weeks, I had learned a lot from the course, Issues in Publications and Design. I learned that writing a blog isn’t just all about opinions. It is all about providing the correct information to netizens complete with theoretical support. Hence, there is a lot of research and theoretical readings need to be done to support the points that the blogger is writing.
One of the things that I’ve learned is that text and images must be balanced so that an effective message can be conveyed to its audience (Schriver 1997). Therefore, images, graphics and diagrams are included to complement my weblog post so that the readers will have a better understanding.
Another thing that I’ve learned is that bloggers like us needs to be sensitive to our readers, as mentioned by Putnis and Petelin (1996). We must be ethical and not offend anybody, especially political parties. In Malaysia, one of the issues that must not be touched on is cultural issue, as it is the most sensitive issue.
In conclusion, I would like to thank this course for giving me an opportunity to see a clear picture on how blogging is done in a appropriate way.
Thank You.
