Final Blog
As a final reflection of the work I have placed into my webzine (to include the collective class webzine) I have found there to be points of contention and points of agreement. It would seem that the knowledge base I cultivated from this experience could be classed as impressive. From the early part of this project I struggled to find reputable sources that would develop my main ideas and goals to the intended audience. However, that seemed to dissolve upon the guidance of research protocols and bolian operator use when searching for information via a search engine. With the source list growing I have been able to manipulate and tweak my webzine into a single provision of information that the audience can access easily and with out a large amount of foot work of their own. It would also seem that the original direction has been changed in some ways that have both singled out main ideas while simultaneously broadening the overall dilemma I have tried to portray to the audience.

Webtext Revision
Introduction: The intro to my webtext is brief, to the point, and encompasses the main idea behind my webtext. What I would like to add in the intro would be some expert opinion, or a tangible number that will give the reader a clear understanding of the magnitude of the issue I have presented. I think the placement of this idea should come just before the main point of the entire webtext as to help enhance the point I am trying to make.
G.M.O. and the Food Supply: This section describes the impact of G.M.O.s on crops, but I would like to add some other direct impacts that food researchers are beginning to develop, such as GE salmon and others of the like. I believe this will help facilitate the point that GE food is on a fast incline in many different aspect of the food supply. Additionally, I would like to differentiate, but also show the connection between GMO's and GE foods.
How Safe are G.E. Foods: This section should be the crux of my entire webtext. In this section I would like to add some suspected side effects that are beginning to show themselves in the health of consumer of GE foods. I would also like to add any evidence, or promising leads into known future issues foreseen by researchers today. Lastly, I want to enhance the idea of how little research is conducted and who actually conducts the research.
How is Our Consumers and Food Supply Affected by G.M.O. Use: In this section I want to enhance the far reaching affects by discussing the impacts on research methods, acceptance, and what that could mean for the health community. I also want to add a discussion of the impact to farmers and what that means for the consumers. This is an important idea to share through this section given that it has a direct impact on the fight against GMO foods.
Conclusion: I believe the conclusion should be revised to give a more direct call to action. The reflection can be tweaked a bit, but I do find it does a decent job of that already.
Images Used: The images I have selected do enhance the main points I am trying to make and offer a valid connection to the ideas of the respective section. However, I would like to add another photo or two with the new discussion I will be adding to my webtext. I believe that more visual enhancements will help drive home the main ideas that I find to be most important.
Anchor Text: The anchor texts of my webtext are lacking in number and effectiveness on the reader. I will be adding more anchor texts in the current sections and will tie in additional anchor texts with the new information.
