• "Simultaneously human, machine and text" this can be considered as we are the makers of the text, it's made from our minds but are acting as machines through text

• Considering blogging as an " act of becoming" -Deleuze & Guattari, 1980/1987- he explains if the author is willing and open minded it's an act of becoming the blog through personal experiments and being.

• The relationship of blogs being set up across time and space - meaning it can be shared with people all over the world through different time spans and brought up from previous years. With assembling words, images, politics, meanings etc...

• According to Barnes "Blogging as an inquiry" or as a method challenge. I agree with Barnes statement as the inquiry of the blogging method challenges a notion that typing or writing becomes a natural process for processing text - Richardson & St. Pierre, 2008 - 

• According to Barnes "Simultaneous roles" of a blogger performs as a doing act including pre-writing, drafting, revising and proof-reading. These roles correlate with each other to create a method before publishing the blog.

• According to Barnes "writing is collaborative", this is reinforced by the idea of the collaboration of past and contemporary written text, articles, books, and previous scholars research.

• "Cyber-textual-organic relationships" through blogging meaning its the connection of myself, my work in a cybernetic way through hyperlinking others work and connecting with other people through hyperlinking.

• The relation between blogging and assembling that Barnes describes as becoming present through a journey of assemblage text through "space and time" or to be in the moment of becoming.

• Blogging open up's avenues for criticism and the benefits of these critics associate's with our own texts as we get objective critical view points. To gain further development to our work and open branches of new research and text. The interrogation of the work gives us a healthy direction to gain further knowledge or access to our research to inquiry to challenge us to research further.

• The engagement of the public has as "clickable" ability to consider different "ramifications" to further public and scholarly attention and engagement with academic research. The public has easy access to further the academic research.

• Blogs being though as a collaboration between past, present and future gives us the idea of thinkers before, the thinkers in the present and the thinkers in the future to come to correlate and embrace ideas from each other.

• The consideration of ethical blogging gives us the effect and affects of the emotions of the text. the power of the construction and context of the text, what gives it meaning and the effects the text can have on us. Subjective and objective of the texts can be delicate within itself if taken out of context.

• Barnes statement of " There is no singular entity responsible for the text that sits on the screen" explains to us that the engagement of the text relates to the dependency of the time, place, topic, theme and context of the text - for engagement of others. Who, What, Where, Why and How ? becomes a broader spectrum of the context of the text to fully understand.

• "Writing is not just something I do separate from my life" Barnes states this point to explain to us that writing is part of her personal and private experiences.
