In the process of creating weblog, I experienced what the differences between a serious weblog and a social blog. A social blog can write whatever they like and not necessary to be credible where it is different with a serious weblog, every information are essentially to be reliable and credible in order to get reader’s trusts. Mixed topics will lead readers to confusion. Like what Jakob Nielsen (2005) states, ‘The more focused your content, the more focused your readers’, where it is mean mixed topics will probably cause confusion to the readers and it make the provided information are not credible and reliable.
Designing the layout for the blog is important, a good and proper segmentation and frames in order to distinct the different section with other contains and it will make website look more organise and user-friendly (Walsh 2006). According to Berkner and Schwartz (2003), website must be a clean looking and user-friendly. The weblog must be well organised and the links have to be useful in order to make the readers reading paths easier. Hyperlinks are good and convenient for readers because hyperlinks allow readers to choose their own way to serves their own interest and needs (Schriver 1997).
It is a good experience to have a serious weblog because in this serious weblog I got to know more about the issues and I get knowledge of it. At the same time, I know many functions and features of blogs like hyperlinks and add images and videos. It is a wonderful experience.
