Reflections

Dear readers,

And with this post, we say goodbye. In the great cinematic classic, Casablanca, Rick Blaine comforts Ilsa Lund with the sentiment, “we’ll always have Paris.” A heartrending farewell indeed.

This blog, however, is made of stronger stuff. Throughout this journey, the blogger has learnt to edit text in rich text format and HTML, upload photos through websites such as Photobucket and through a direct Blogspot.com Photo Uploader.

The blogger has expanded intellectually, learning more theories about transduction, web design and the social semiotics of multimodals: hand-in-hand with those indispensable academics: Kress & van Leeuwen, Schiver, Walsh, and many more.

As a blogger, I have learnt to write ethically, ensuring there are accurate citations to my words. To use gender-neutral and politically correct terminology to ensure tempers are not raised. I have learnt that simplicity and a competent (preferably Z-shaped!) website design are best.

With that, dear readers, I say farewell.

We’ll always have IPD.
