Reflections

I always thought blogs were trivial and splashed out a lot of information about people’s private lives on the Internet for everyone to read about. Never in a million years did I think that I would ever set up a blog, but here I am and proud of what I have achieved.

I have learnt that blogs are not just about people posting about their personal lives. While I was setting up this blog, I discovered a lot of other blogs on the Internet where bloggers posted about issues that were close to their heart.. I have also discovered that through blogs, people of similar interests can actually come together.

To set up a webblog, one does not need to be an expert in knowing about the technalities of the Internet. You don’t need to have extra knowledge about a certain software, which is the case when one would like to set up a website.There are many blogging hosts on the Web that provides users with step by step instructions on how to set up a blog.

Even though the Internet is an open space with no regulations, unlike mainstream media, bloggers should ensure that they approach sensitive issues with care so as not to offend anyone.
