In the process of creating and updating this blog, I have learned and experienced for myself on how to run a fully functioning blog which tries to inform and educate the public.
One of the most important theory I have learned is that one must always be aware of the audience of who you are writing for. Experts such as Schriver (1997) could not agree more that whatever designed or publish must cater to the audiences' needs, wants and beliefs.
As a blogger, one has to be extremely careful of anything posted online. Unlike newpapers, blogs do not go through various gatekeepers to make sure the content published is suitable for all readers.
In short, blogging with factual information requires a lot of responsibility. We have to go to great lengths to ensure that we can be accounted for everything we post on our blog.

In the words of Uncle Ben of the famous comic book Spiderman, "With great power [the freedom of speech] comes great responsibility [the ability to say anything without offending anyone]."
