What rhetorical considerations are important to make when writing online?Should you be concerned with how you sound?How can you control your on line persona(liketheoneyouprojectbycreatingablog)?

There are alot of things to be taken into account when writing online, such as audience, topic of writing, emotion in the writing (pathos) because the reader may not know you (the writer) and may infer a different meaning from your words. I dont have to be concerned about how i sound, because every one is going to have their own opinion reguardless so theres really no point in trying to impress, and not be myself. I can control my online persona by deciding exactly how much information about myself i want to expose, even the way the decorations to the page are done; the music, color arrangement, picture choices-Everything on here that i alter, creates my "persona" therefore by tweaking everything just right, I can either be myself, or anyone i aim to be.
