Reflections

The process of creating and updating this blog has taught me a number of things. Most importantly would be the experience of running a blog which talks about a specific topic with the purpose of educating and informing the public.

In terms of my blog content, I have come to realize how important the content of a website is in luring/retaining readers while surfing on the internet (Reep 2006). I have strived to provide accurate and concise information regarding my topics discussed in this blog.

I also applied Kress and van Leeuwen's (1998) theory of information value, salience and framing while designing the layout of this blog.

My all-time favourite thing about blogging is self-publishing. Self-publishing also means that I have to be accountable and responsible for what I say on this blog. I constantly remind myself to be culturally sensitive and also to always quote copyright material.

Hopefully, the postings on this blog has been beneficial to you, and that you have learned something after reading my blog. Thank you for reading!
