So this weeks lecture was online and unfortunately I was absent for the workshop. However the ideas presented this week

In what ways are our blogs an example of Hypertext and/or Hypermedia?   What are some ideas for how we enhance this?

A hypertext (as a refresher) is a text which basically includes links to other texts which can be immediately seen and used, hypermedia is a term that can be used for a hypertext but isn’t restricted to the literal text, it often includes images, sounds, video etc.

Our blogs are definite forms of hypertexts/hypermedia as our blogs are not just a space where readers can look at our posts and our opinions, but it is an active interaction and space where the reader can comment and follow links that we use to access other information regarding the same topic. Our blogs also include images, video links whether they be our own or not, music etc. all of the reader can directly access and follow the link to a new site.

Some way and ideas in which can enhance this form of hypertexts and hypermedia include our blog roll, links, tags, etc.
