First Step

First and foremost, this blog is not here to flood you with endless rants but rather, to discuss and further understand the issues that fly about this phenomenon that is blogging. My audience would be none other than you and anyone else who would like to achieve a better understanding of this topic.


Why a blog? Simply because blogs have the 'potential to incorporate words and images in complex structures with logos, menu bars, video clips, and many more'. Thus, this eliminates the linear style, creating a multi-directional path for you readers (Walsh, 2006).


To achieve a goal is what most people would aim for; the same goes for this blog, and I hope that upon embarking this journey, there will be answers waiting for the both of us.


With that, I bid you welcome to the Neophyte's Raison D’être; a beginner's journey with a purpose in mind.
