As multimodal (Walsh 2006) becomes a trend among the public, it is essential to understand the current trend of the internet.
Throughout the process of creating this weblog, I have learned that blogging is not just about writing but also includes visual-movable such as video blogging and moblogging. Besides, bloggers have to beware of what they post on their blogs to avoid any legal issue.
The non-linear pathway (Kress & Leeuwen 2006, p.204) system is a good way to globalize the information you plan to promote, therefore, web designer needs to create a good and interactive blog, to occupy the internet-illiterates. Internet is a transparent visual communication (Kress & Leeuwen 2006, p.17) which communicates through the synchronisation of modes.
To design a good webblog, knowledge of HTML and blogging is essential to make the website interactive. Through experience of blogging and blog-readings, it makes me understand more about how the current issues and blogging trend.
Lastly, as a blogger myself, I notice that it is important to have a standpoint of my own. A blogger should always determine their purpose of blogging and not to create any defamatory issues by spreading rumours. Overall, the most important thing is not to create unwanted politics such as criticism on other culture and religion without prove.
