1. Do you enjoy blogging?
Yes or No?
IF YES OR NO please explains why:
Yes. I do enjoy blogging. This is because I can expose myself to learn more about ICT which I am not familiar with before. Yet, I can create my own blog now and everything is under my control. I love to learn something new which is complex like blog and it makes me feel like I am still compatible with the world of IT. Other than that, I will feel the satisfaction after I have created my blog and decorated it with many other gadgets. When it looks nice, I feel good.

2. Based on your experience what is the benefit of blogging?
It improves my writing and thinking skill where I might think further when I am trying to express my opinion on blog through my writing. I can think more critically before I write my view on it and it helps to enhance my vocabulary and grammar in English as I will be more careful by checking all my spelling and grammar before I post it up. Despite all the above, it also make me explore a lot about the ICT and enlighten me with something new which others might not have the chance to be exposed to. I learn not only on how to create my blog, but also learnt on how to make it alive and out of the box by adding different gadget. It really helps me a lot in exploring the ICT especially the task given in blogging in this SKBP course. At least I have learnt something that might be useful for my entire life during my university’s life.

3. Do you need more assistance to set up your blog?
Yes or No?
If YES Please explain on what aspect:
Yes. I do need more assistance for that. To create a blog maybe very easy for one who will be easily satisfied with their work. But it might not be easy for me to satisfy on my work as I am quite “perfectionist” in my work especially when it comes to design. While blogging, we need to design our own blog in our own unique way in order to make it attractive and alive. So, when I am doing the activities of blogging, I need a lot of assistance from the Internet to find out the way on adding different gadget. Even though I have learnt a lot in this, but I know that there are still a lot of things that I didn’t expose to yet. I still need to learn on how to transfer the templates from other source into my blog. It seems easy. Yet, it’s complicated till it took me few days to discover it. There is also different source that provide various gadget. I want to know each of them if I could. Unfortunately, I am still not familiar with it. Thus, I need lot more assistance on these.

4. Do you have any memorable/favorite topic in your blog?
Yes or No?
If YES Please list which topic?
Yes, I do have a memorable topic in my blog. Among all those posting that I have done for this course, I found that there is only one posting which attracts my attention. It is my second posting on the blog I enjoy reading the most. I have found a blog which I love the most. It is conducted by a blogger named “chicky egg”…what a cute name!!!
