Impression as a Blogger


Source: Egan, 2011


I created this BlogSpot to fulfill the criteria of an undergraduate student. Robertson (2011) noted that the educational affordances of blogs offer opportunities for students to become self-directed learners in a supportive social environment. Hence, I get the opportunity to have a greater understanding about blogging current issues or trending topics appropriately.  

Besides, enrichment of cultural knowledge is important for a blogger. As a blogger, we should understand the rules and regulations stated for blogging. This is to avoid any lawsuit or copyrights refinements later. In addition, writing or blogging based on primary ideas from originated author. Gunelius (n.d.) emphasizes a blogger should contain passion and love to their blog’s subject or topic as readers could detect the trustworthy of what the blogger speaks on.

In blogging, the content is important as well as the design. Content carries information to the readers while design attracts their attention to avoid boredom. A uniquely designated blog will gain popularity from viewers as much as the content values.
