The Blog & The Blogger
A blog’s content is no more important than the author (the blogger). Just like my English teacher told us, (she is teaching us on how to footnote…) it is very important to give the name of the author not only the title of the book. A group of words is no more important than the one saying it.
For example, when I say that “I will give you a million dollars and its all yours without any obligations…” -you will not believe me simply because im not credible for it; but if Bill Gates tell you the exact same thing, I guess you’ll believe him (may be) hehehe.
My point is, a blog’s appeal is not only because of the brilliant ideas that is written down, but most specially because of the whole personality of the blogger.
So why am I writing all this down? So that you guys would not be critical of my wrong spellings and grammar, but just appreciate the ideas behind each post (lusot ba? Hehehe). ;-)

You might think the author is as important as the text, but some schools of thought think otherwise.
Once thought is transposed to any medium, it loses some of it's essence. Once thought is transfered to any medium, it is free for re-interpretation.
So might as well get your spelling and grammar right (like I'm the expert) because, "the author is dead."
ey miguel! tnx for your interesting point. Oo nga, may school of thought nga about it (I just read the introduction, pero its too complicated for me). I guess what I was saying on this post is that credibility of the author is important… its like when you know the person, you’ll have an idea if he is sincere with what he is saying.
ok ok, ill try to get my sppeling and grammar right =)
