Web logs, Blogs and Blogging – new terminology for me - 10 March 2008

Web logs or blogs as they are commonly known was a term I’d heard of but never experienced prior to undertaking Issues in Publication and Design. To understand the concept of blogging, which was new to me, I logged onto www.blogger.com. I soon learned that a blog was an online diary, a record of your thoughts; an opportunity to engage and gather thoughts from others, a blog gives you your voice on the web.

When asked to contribute to my own blog the task was somewhat daunting. Posting my views and thoughts online and being open to comments, opinions and criticism from others was a new concept. However, it is this concept which is also very exciting.

This blog aims to share my thoughts on media, design and publishing issues; with particular reference to the ABC Radio National Media Report and The Australian Media section.

A blog where the postings are short summaries of articles, views related to theoretical concepts and my own comments. A blog of my own thoughts…….well here goes.
