Last But Not Least...

From the entire blogging experience I have acquired through this assignment, I have fully well understood that as a blogger, we can be opinionated but we certainly have no rights of

• defamation and copyrights infringements of tarnishing others' reputation or properties.

We should always be conscious of the language which we choose to decipher a message as the tendency of getting sued is always there if we accidentally violated others privacy or status. According to A Bloggers' Code of Ethics (2003), 'bloggers should always be honest and fair in interpreting news, minimize harm to other people and be accountable for the mistakes done'.

When placing the content in each posts, white space is always essential as it guides readers to find information easily. As stated by Reep (2006, p. 158), 'the white space creates a path that guides the reader from heading to text or images'.

Content must also be as concise as possible as readers only scan through the page especially online pages. 'Exhaustive reading is rare among online readers as they would only have to compile key infomation, thus reading the text thoroughly is most unlikely' (Neilsen 2006). Apart from these, as a blogger, it is compulsory for he/she to make sure there are interactivities between readers and bloggers.
