Reflection

It is not easy to become a good blogger. As a good blogger must have some requirements. I realize that the blogger must consider the purpose of writing the blog, our target of audience, and last but not least, we must conscious of our context. We should not touch sensitive cultures or issues that people mind.

A blogger also must have the citation or the correct resource from originated people (Reep 2006) to avoid the issue of the “Harry Potter” author wins copyright claim in United Kingdom.
Neil Patel 2006 affirmed that a blogger only can launch the blog once if it is properly setup. Before that, must make sure the design is complete.

There are some suggestions for the blogger:
a) The salience, information value and framing in the meaning of composition are related to each other. Those terms can help us in designing our weblog. (Kress & van Leeuwen 2006).


b) A blogger can use the “multimodal text” which includes images, words, sound, animation and video clips to attract target audience. (Walsh 2006)
