The Size OF Things



A simple graph will show that the population of bloggers is steadily growing. This graph above shows the increase of people that sign up for blogspot.com during 2007.


Since this study was started, it is estimated that there are about over 30 million using just blogspot.com alone.

The Purpose Of My Blog


Blogs are a means of communication in this era of communication and I believe that through this blog, I can create a better understanding about this whole phenomena.

The purpose of me writing this blog is to better understand blogging as a communication medium of its own, the sort of different trends of blogging that may differ in other countries and the benefits of it.

This blog will be target at up and coming design students and people who are already in the field of IT. There are many issues that a publisher must take into consideration, things that maybe important to some maybe offensive to others. An understanding of the semiotics and the culture of the target audience is essential for a successful publication.
