My blog career in Networked Media has started for six weeks. During this period, I felt as the idea of blogging being encouraging me to write something on my blog in order for building up a space for myself. Blog offers me a place to write anything I want to write about with no limitations. Yes, admittedly I consider blogging is very excellent to develop my ability and skills in writing as well as intensify my engagement throughout my lecture or ‘unlecture’, my tutorial, my readings and writing practice  Overall, blogging absolutely provided me many amazing experiences,  however, personally I think of my participation being not good enough in Network Media so I still have some realms to improve  in  the future.

I remember the first week, Adrian spoke out in the lecture that everyone should had experience about writing essay from their primary school to high school but writing essay in our entire life is impossible because you wrote a essay is getting a good from techer. Adrian’s point on blogging inspires me to think blog is a large space to express your unique idea in order for discussing, arguing and sharing online with other people. In a blog, writing not being for a good mark but a reputation rules. Rules, forms or even grammars are not highly considerable, on  the other hand, how to interact with people with your typing texts is more significant. Adrian revealed that blog is fantastic opportunity for student to communicate with each other for a good discussion on some impressive issues or sharing good experiences online.

Throughout this six weeks, my blog posts mainly reflects from the class readings and raised idea from ‘unlecture’ but the overall blogging is not good enough to attract people to visit or comment on my blog. Nevertheless, another hand of this situation, I was benefited from writing blog because I could write anything that I want to share with no any restriction. Not only my writing ability but my personal development is improved by following up the materials from ‘unlecture’ or the neutral medium (www.mediafactory.org.au/networkedmedia/). Going through the ‘Networked Media’ blog become my daily habit as a consequence of a plenty of funny readings there. I am able to extend my interests and engage with new knowledge through online texts so that I could go through the readings anytime and anywhere  when I feel boring. With practicing writing my blog, I also consider one important thing that how could I attract people to visit my blog as same as I keep up ‘Sneakernews’ blog everyday because of big interests on sneakers. Therefore, I attempt to rise my own idea after finishing weekly readings and lectures in order for offering my unique opinions which might catch someone’s eyes.

However, in this six weeks, there are still a lot of disadvantages for my performance on blogging. First of all, I am unable to  guarantee  update my blog consistently week by week due to some other things being occupied. Individually, that is the biggest problem for my blogging. The number of entries is not adequate for the requirements so that I should be concerned with this part. The second thing is that I found difficulties on my reflections of my reading because of spending too much constructing the idea. I think that this problem might result in the slow updating on my blog. Even worse, I would misunderstand the center idea of readings and I had done many useless effort. Therefore, I should improve my comprehensions of readings so that I can point out some impressive idea. Additionally, I found myself lacks interaction with my peers so I hardly obtain useful feedback from them. The only way to communicate with other peers is tutorial and neutral website but these conditions are not enough to provide a good interactive blogging. The blogging should be hanging around others’ blogs and leave a comment in order for a communication. Unfortunately, I have not commented anyone in Networked Media so that I also lose my opportunity.

For the future, it is time to be worried about how to improve my blog for becoming a real blog. I will try my best to update one post or posts twice a day with relevant review from readings and feature news. The reason of keeping practicing my writing is to enhance my management ability and habits to make blogging become a daily regular instead of an assignment. Also, I consider the interactive communication is very important for blogging and I should observe my peers’ blog and learn something helpful from their writing and structure of blog. What is more, I need to collect a diverse of materials from life or internet to rise my inspiration and construct my new idea on blog, attracting someone else. Not only blogging the academic but I need to discover the interests of my life that makes sense with the knowledge from Networked Media.

While the development of fictional writing involes another factor, like the hypertext, that offer good fundation enough to create a bunch of new forms to express author’s idea. The authors attempt to create a diversity of different new form as the new discovery of hypertext. Hypertext is that, like the new materials, boost up the fictional writing to produce more colourful forms. This situation somewhat is similar to the ‘Autuerism’ that represents the revolution in film industry in 1920-1930. Film used to be stereotype and dull, because the director thought films were consisted of several necessary materials though the films describe different story. This tendency lasted until the born of ‘Autuerism’ in 1930s’ France. The revolution, which people called ‘The New Wave’ was happening in French films, the directors were being creative and individualised in their film. Films become alive!

What is going on with the hypertext inserting fictional writing. Quotes from the first major author of hypertext fiction, Michael Joycethat I wanted, quite simply, to write a novel that would change in successive  readings and to make  thoes changing versions according to the connections that I had for sometime naturally discovered in the process  of writing and that I wanted my readers to share. In my eyes, paragraphs on many different page could just as well go with papragraphs. All that kept me from doing so was the fact that, in print at least, one paragraph inevitably follows another. it seemed to me that if I, as author, could use a computer to move paragraphs about, it wouldn’t take much to let readers do so accoding to some scheme I had predeterminded.

Perhaps, in the future, Joyce consider people merely use the computer and they would modify the writing as what they want to express. In some way, this approach is encouraging readers’ inspirations. Gradually, some authors attempt to create their crafts in which more or less veer toward a narrative instead of highly being dependent on linearity causality, and probable characterisation. The multiplicity give a strong power to writers on their art crafts and they just suddenly obtain more space to create. There is no rules and no restriction. Authors approach  their readers in different many forms, and while readers confront their production, they are proven to be right.

Readers start to be adapt into a series of new form writing from hypertext fiction authors. Tom MacHarg is remarkable that he create The Late-Bite Maneuvers of the Ultramundance by seven lexias for each day of the week. Each day is being with a variations or transformation of the other to be ultimately creative. Here is partial of Monday’s story.

Dwight awoke at 3:15 a.m. to find his girlfriend, Johnette, attempting to conceal a bomb under his pillow. ” You’ve waken me up,” he said. “And I’ve discovered your treachery.”

“The only treachery is yours,” said Johnette.

“I’m only sleeping.” said Dwight. “You ‘re the one planting bombs.”

“Perhaps you deserve it,” said Johnette.

“But I love you,” siade Dwight.

“Then why do you accuse me of treachery?” said Johnette.

“It’s obvious,” said Dwight “You planned to murder me as I lie here dreaming of our sex.”

“You weren’t dreaming.” said Johnette. “I  was wastching you eyes.”

“Perhaps not, but at least I wasn’t trying to murder you,” said Dwight.

“I only meant to scare you into loving me more,” said Johnette.

“With a bomb?” said Dwight.

“You need to love me a lot more,” said Johnette.

McHarg’s work is replete with creepy  and mysterious in his The Late-Nite Maneuvers of the Ultramundane.

Perhaps five years ago, I was also a big fan of blogging. At that time, every Saturday and Sunday was the greates time in a week for after five school days, you eventually can update your blog and communicate with your blogmates, sharing the amazing things in then entire week. However, Blogging is no longer more popular than other newly emerging socializing medium like Facebook, Instagram, Tweeter and Tumblr. For now, our life is faster and faster as the development of technologies. Sharing your own life is being from everyday to every minutes or even every second. As the speeding up of  posting our stuff online, our content is shorter and vague. Most time, people even take a photo and post it on instagram as the way to share. Kind of, our inspiration gradually depend on the technologies instead of ourselves.

The most attractive factor of blogging is ‘constructing’. The agency offer us a website with our ID  and we ordinarily or extraordinarily write something on there. Blogging is kind of a strgguling, you are gonna have to give something and you would get something in return. Everyone is more or less a expert while blogging. For this record, no matter who are you in real life and what kind of person do you have, once you loged in you would obtain the sheild and become another person, also known as your ‘Blog ID’, and start your blog career. The more argument with others, the more receive you can get back. Sharing and responding consist of blog, let’s imagine that what if the world of blogging is without commentary section, do people still like to devote themselves in this area? The blogging miracle is happening within comments by comments. The interatvie system makes people unconsciously keep creating new stuffs and they wait for the respond from pubilicity. I remember one impressive moment from one eposide of ‘The Big Band Theory’ : while Lenord is upset about his favorite neigbour Penny who is gonna hang out with his another friend, his best friend  Sheldon suggest him to update his blog and get some new friends as make communicative comments.

Blogging is a discussion, good topics always catch people’ eyes. We would be kind of pround of the commentary section while many users visit and give a comment for your blog posts. Thanks to this interaction,Whether users leave a comments to agree or disgree  your post,  you would be happy for people read your post. We would like to someone admit ourselves with constructing. A good blog is not only benefited from good writing, but also comes from wide range of knowledge. In the world of blog, every different knids of people are involved, some of them might be employed as ‘expert’ in a specific area. Some people prefer challenging your idea, and Can you fight it back with your knowledge? You give the clear points and evidence to testify your idea and others proof the points with another inforamtion. This communication is impossible to be achieved on Instagram. Therefore, people might be tend to change their habitt.

We have big enough space to share our idea with blogging, no matter what kind of ‘style’ we like to use, we eventually enbale creating a special way to bring out our argument and waiting for the challengers. Blogging is an overall ability, you have to be creative and strong enough to manage your blog. Pubilic would consider you.
