Building and maintaining this blog brought about a mixture of feelings. On the one hand, it was stressful trying to prefect each blog post and find enough credible information to include promptly. On the other hand, I quite enjoy the stress.
Researching information for all the topics was quite enjoyable but it was extracting the right information and putting it all together that was frustrating. In fact, sometimes I found too much information and had so much to write about that it was difficult to keep within the given word limit.
Among all the other things I learnt by researching the topics in the blog posts, I have a new found respect for referencing. I realized how much time and effort it takes to pull together information and referencing is just a small form of appreciation for reproducing the work. Also, it demonstrates the authenticity of your information and enables your readers to locate your information sources (Why cite information sources? 2004).
