Reflection

Exactly a month ago, with a few clicks of the mouse, this blog was created out of the purpose of sharing my opinions on various media and publishing issues with the readers. Then, it became more than that as within these 31 days, this blog also serve as a platform for me to learn to blog with seriousness and responsibilities. But it was not without putting some efforts in it.

To create and maintain this blog, I not only have to consider about the context of situation and cultural of the audience (Halliday & Hasan, 1985), I also need to remember the affordances and limitations of the Internet (Schriver, 1997). Why, I need to practice what I preach, right?

In the end, I would like to reemphasise on what I said previously: Blogging is the current phenomenon, and it is unlikely to change for some time.
