Reflections


(source:http://www.images.google.com.my)
This is first time blogging therefore in order to create a good blog I have use the combination of images and texts to provide better understanding for my readers. According to Schriver (2006) explains that prose and graphics are integrated as a part of the body text in order to help users represent the content. Walsh (2006, p. 30-31) stated that multimodality of a document helps strengthen the message intended to be conveyed across to the audience.

Apart from that, all web-users should take concern and responsibility about the ethical issue, for example, avoid uploading unethical images and using offensive words. This is agreed by (Patterson & Wilkins 2005, p. 256-257), Web-users should abiding by the ethics line, where content should be always made neutral to avoid causing discomfort to other web-users

Furthermore, copyright infringement is also an issue to weblogging and document design. Hence, Walker (1997) implies that in addition to citing the source of texts, any graphics, audio or video files included in a student's work should include a proper citation. In this respect, I have learnt to cite if I reference from articles or websites and the images I have taken to avoid copyright issue.

In conclusion, I found that blogging is a very interesting thing to do and very useful in many ways especially when I want to share some information with my friends. Hence, I will continue to blog for my daily life and share with my friends.
