Dear Blogg,

Some of the Ideas discussed in today’s lecture regarding the use of blogging had me consider a few ideas that did not come up during the class.
In regards to how legible a piece of writing is does this effect who reads it?
Although I do agree that at one extreme, if a piece is simply too difficult to decipher potential readers might not even bother, leaving the author to appear nothing but a fool.
In saying this, it is also apparent that people will read interesting or news worthy articles even if it is not to a high academic standard. Take the newspapers for example, all New Zealand newspapers are written to the reading age level of a 12 year old, and many people do read these and are subscribed nationwide.
Also to consider the idea of a blogg as a new form of entertainment, rather than just pure self-expression.
Reading another’s daily blogg/diary maybe considered by some as a sort of live-novel, keeping up with new chapters each day. Although some may find this idea mundane or absurd, I’m sure there are people out there who consider the reality (or virtual reality) of it all only adds to the readers interest.

Hopefully this piece of mongrel media has been considered somewhat literate enough for a few people to read.:)

Signed
Elyse.
