Acknowledgements

We wish to thank our parents, for tolerating our late nights spent with the site.

Another big thank you goes out our coach, Ms Aileen Chor, for guiding us along and providing us with valuable resources.

Without them, this site would not be what it is now.

References
As the blogosphere is web-based and relatively new, there are few written sources to refer to. However, there is a plethora of information on blogging on the net, and our sources of reference are as stated below.

We would also wish thank sxc.hu, the free stock image site.

Reflection

In our collective opinions, Thinkquest was a great learning experience. Tight deadlines, difficult research and unresponsive interviewees were among the many disruptions we had in the process of creating this website. The website went through many redesigns, taking up much time. However, our group managed to overcome these difficulties and finally complete the website. Overcoming these difficulties has given our group a better understanding of our characters as well as personalities, including our reactions to pressure.
