As a personal blogger before this assignment, I thought that I knew everything about blogging. However after the assignment, it somehow helps me to understand the skills as a blogger needed. Like for example insert the theory of Reep (2006) whereby salience, framing and layout will provide readability and easy navigation to the readers. I have layout all the pictures at the center and as well there is framing between each posting.
On top of that Multimodality by Walsh (2006) encourages interactivity while engaging readers. This will somehow create a community in my blog for discussion whether is a chat box on the right or the comments. In addition adding and giving hyperlinks to other sites will eventually create a ‘joy ride’ whereby readers can jump from one page to another.
Well learning from this, I will definitely design well for my future blog so that is readable. Must and always be ethical at all times, avoiding any infringement copyright by acknowledging them and reference the author. Last but not least, I will avoid any negative and sensitive topic to the culture such as nudity and religions.

Face-to-face in textual world
In the article, email with words may seem boring and sometimes receiver may not understand what the senders sent. Therefore the use of emoticons appears to make the sentence seemingly more meaningful. Emoticons or today is called as smiley is nothing but the combination of colon, hyphen and parenthesis. It was set that some sentences send via e-mail may be sensitive and might hurt the receiver’s feeling, for example:
Yes, you look pretty ugly that time...
Yes, you look pretty ugly that time... : - )
Adding emoticon like shown above is a form of pleasure, or a joke that one wants to make. Multimodality is a need for design and development of multimedia-based to stimulate the readers (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2001). Emoticons are added in today’s society technology to have a face-to-face communication.
According to Lowe, (n.d) stated that emoticon are a form expression that goes along with the text. This is because face-to-face communication is essential and therefore the emoticons are used to representative of our expression through text (Microsoft, 2009). Technology today allows people to send instant message or e-mail with emoticons may bond one and another and avoid any miscommunication.
However, not all emoticons can be nice and please to look at. According to Blog & Internet (2009) emoticons evolve into more adult feature, whereby creating what is known as ‘assicons’ and ‘boobiecons’. Is nothing but an insult of other people using parts of a person’s body? For example,
Yes, you look pretty ugly that time... (__!__)
Adding that emoticon representing ‘a fat butt’ is an insult to the receiver. However the evolvements are not entirely bad and negative. Today, game creator uses emoticon to represent the avatar. According to Kayne (2009) stated that avatar is a personalized graphic file or rendering that represents a computer user.
Whether is in virtual online or instant messenger, the emoticon is a trend that is famously used by all aged people. However it depends on the person who whether want to use it appropriately or as an insult to the others.

Copy and paste, Rip and share
In the article, J.K Rowling wins the court against a fan that violated her copyright with his plan to publish ‘Potter encyclopaedia’. J.K Rowling argued that her 17 years of hard work writing the story was literally robbed by a person. The people who infringement copyright argues that he just expand the term used in the books. That person’s particular ‘Potter encyclopaedia’ was also known as ‘Harry Potter Lexicon’.
According to Reep (2006, pp.41) defines copyright as "the legal protection for the creators of original works". Infringement is a serious crime in today’s society because refers to the violation of a law or intellectual property right of an individual or entity company (Mirandah, 2009). One’s hard work stolen from other people are inconsiderate hence due to the emergence of technology, anybody at anywhere and anytime can easily ‘helped’ mankind to ‘copy and paste’ to another place.
On top of that, every lecturer stress out saying that plagiarism can be ugly, plagiarism can make someone expelled from school because such act is disrespectful to the original author. Therefore as a student, every work academic work that we write must always remember to insert references as an acknowledgement.
Let’s move to the music industries. The emergence of technology once again ‘did its magic’. In Jone’s article stated that RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) requests for a summary judgement against a couple who burn songs from CDs and downloaded file-sharing programs. It is true that music copyright infringement could be illegal however the judge for this case argued that the defendant only contribute to copyright infringement, the couple did not put files into shared folder and someone copied from them.
According to Hom (2006) copyright infringement could mean as using someone else’s work without that person’s consent in a tangible form such as songs, web page, pictures and videos are illegal. Not just in print, but as well as other things can be legally sued if one did not take notice.
To me, first of all serve the person who infringe J.K Rowling’s work, it’s bad and disrespectful. However for the music copyright, I am on the fence right now because 1) writers lose a lot which is bad and 2) many communities don’t have to waste money buying songs.

Obama and iPhone is a WIN!
Surprisingly nowadays politicians use alternative media to try to win the votes. The latest and most talk about in the election is the President of The United States Barack Obama. Not just because he stood center stage and made a passionate speech in hopes of delivering equality between race and political lines, he is the first African-American to win the presidential vote (Louie, 2007).
In the article, stated that Obama campaign uses mobile phone to connect direct to the audience or nation and for that creates potential in helping the vote cast. The mobile for this campaign function as ‘’Call Friends’’ to make sure nation’s family and friends cast their votes to Obama.
According to Schirato and Yell (1996) stated that genre is a form of senses of types expected from different field, tenor and mode. This means that the campaign uses mobile (iphone) as a new genre to easily have a ‘face-to-face’ communication with the nation through mobile.
According to Shankland (2008) stated that Senator Barack Obama launched an iPhone application for the presidential campaign as a political recruiting tool. The key of iPhone is making it easy to reach out and make a quick impact to the audience.
However didn’t they realize the consequences of using mobile phone too much? Why are they still insisting nations to vote for him through mobiles?
Mobile phone has loads of complication and it endangers the health issue in today’s society. Consider that mobile phone these days may cause all kinds of health implication, for instant brain tumor and brain disturbance (PSRAST, 2009).
Besides, base on my experience, watching football from mobile, a small screen will strain my eyes. Due to the size of the screen, I have to focus so much towards the screen causing nothing but misery and torture, maybe which is one of the reasons that my eye power increased!

Photographer's story and picture
Photojournalism in today’s society is a fun and interesting job however at one point it is a difficult and dangerous job that one can have. One may endanger his/her life especially those who were assign to the war country. This is because they constantly risk their lives bringing the latest news to the country.
However the pitfall of photojournalist is reported in the article. It is that some stories were modified by the editors. Not just story were edited even pictures were chosen by the editors, they are the ones who have the authority to show the readers what they want them to know and see. After all the hard work of photojournalist, their story may not turn out exactly the same in the newspaper.
‘’...It's him that I trust. Whereas in the media, we have editors, publishers, who are sitting at their desks with their own political or ideological views of telling the story’’ (Wade Goddard 2007).
In this case, Schirato and Yell (1996) stated that a narrative is a way of structuring meanings in the form of a story. Although news and/or story appear seemingly nice and understandable, but not all news has the narrative that was written by the journalist. The editors expectation were so high and wanting the story like how they ideologically expected but did not achieve, therefore changes the story bits by bits.
For now let’s talk about photography. Photojournalists are the people with creativity this is because their writing and photography skill were so great that many people respect, even I envy it. According to Reep (2006) stated that balance is a comparable visual ‘weight’ on both sides of a page or on opposing pages. This means that perfect picture has its own balance therefore as a photographer, setting up a position and composition to capture one perfect picture is not easy. In addition every picture taken has its own meaning behind.
Does everyone agree that pictures worth a thousand words? It depends; according to Walsh (2006) pictures have its own meaning, known as visual grammars. Visual grammars help audience to interpret the meaning behind the picture, making readers to understand what it means easily. Some people may interpret the meaning differently.

Picture is worth a thousand words, as far as sports concern is true. According to artsyTime (2009) there are many wonderful and unforgettable moments captured by photographers. The same action may not repeat, therefore a picture is a treasure.To me this picture mean that the brother trying to make up a story to blame it on the dog.
What about you? Many people have different thoughts and therefore creates different meaning. Some may even say that both the brothers trying to sweap the evidence away and pretend it never happens, but the dog heard it.

Blog vs Facebook vs Twitter
According to Schriver (1997) stated that designed or publish must cater to the audiences' needs, wants and beliefs. Therefore all the social network communication such as Blog, Facebook and Twitter has accomplish the theory above to cater to many users online.
Firstly, the entire article was about the different communication style between the three social networks, each has different number of reader. For Blog is not intended to have one-to-many communication whereas is basically for public knowing. On the other hand, Facebook is more for private, one-to-not-many basis. These are the least that Scott Karp found the difference between those.
However each has its own pitfalls. For instant, blogs sometime maybe too controversial whereby all kinds of topic were talked about even from politicians to celebrity gossips. This is because many people’s perception of blogs is freedom of speech whereby they are allowed to post and voice their own opinion without being stopped (BBC, 2006). In addition blogs has the function of visual, imagery and sound visuals. According to Walsh (2006) stated that visual, imagery and sound visuals are keys to giving audiences opportunity to interact with others and as well as giving more choices.
On the other hand Facebook is much more private compared to Blog. This is because that Facebook are normally invited of friends and family, someone who one may know in order to view the profile. According to Zittrain (2009) Facebook may be dangerous to many ‘private users’ in Facebook. This is because that the world of internet may expose all sorts of personal details such as account number or home address. On top of that, Facebook allows anybody which the computer feels that the person is connected with others is related. For example A knows B, but might not know B’s friend C, and simply asked A to invite C as friend.
The latest issue about Twitter is it allows burglar to enter the user’s home. Base on the article Hedengren (2009) the Israel Hyman who twittered the vacation for about a week got his house burglarized. Without knowing some people might have intention in ‘’Following’’ you in order for them to know your latest activity, therefore gives the burglar time to prepare and work on their magic to rob the house when you are on vacation.

Photoblog might be real
Photolog originated from the word photo blog, and its function is to share photo like a photo journal with unlimited text description (KeepandShare, 2009). According to Shriver (1997) both word and text must collaborate in order to bring meaning from the picture to the audience. Therefore, photolog allows user not just upload pictures but as well able to type in the caption of the particular event.
However, unlike in the old time photographers have hard time taking perfect and fantastic photo, but today thanks to the emergence of technology, photographers are much more convenient and easy to change the colour contrast and even adjust exact way they wanted.
According to Goldstein (2008) stated that Adobe Photoshop pamper many photographers, they don’t just ease the work of photographers but as well a solution to make the picture perfect.
According to Eitreim (2008) stated that he read a blog from a person who hire photographers for the wedding and it turns out to be disaster. Not that the composition of the photographer is bad but at least half of the picture taken were in black and white and edited. Therefore she had hard time searching and editing the pictures back to the original before uploading it to her photo blog. Therefore, it is not entirely good about editing because as it might not please someone especially clients with the outcome of the pictures.
Another good example has posted in youtube.com by Dove showing that beauty in today’s society has been distorted, and photographers lose their originality. Whether the pictures in photo blog is real or another form of cheat.
It is up to you to judge whether editing pictures is a positive or negative manner.

According to Eitreim (2008) stated that he read a blog from a person who hire photographers for the wedding and it turns out to be disaster. Not that the composition of the photographer is bad but at least half of the picture taken were in black and white and edited. Therefore she had hard time searching and editing the pictures back to the original before uploading it to her photo blog. Therefore, it is not entirely good about editing because as it might not please someone especially clients with the outcome of the pictures.
Another good example has posted in youtube.com by Dove showing that beauty in today’s society has been distorted, and photographers lose their originality. Whether the pictures in photo blog is real or another form of cheat.
It is up to you to judge whether editing pictures is a positive or negative manner.
