**1. Can you talk about how your blog started, and how you shifted its focus to Web 2.0?**

```

To be honest, the initial motivation for starting my blog might sound unbelievable to you—I just wanted to find a good platform on the internet to publish an 180,000-word novel I wrote during high school. By chance, I learned about Mu Zi Mei from a radio program, and through her, I discovered blogs. So, I decided to use one myself :-)

As for what exactly Web 2.0 is, even I can't explain it clearly. I've searched both Baidu and Google for the best definition of Web 2.0, but in the end, the explanation that resonated with me the most was this: Web 2.0 = vibrant colors + logos with "Beta" in them. Haha. Actually, before I even tried to define Web 2.0, I had already started paying attention to the things I care about now. Later, I found out that what I was focusing on was being called Web 2.0 by many of my friends. That's why I went looking for a definition of Web 2.0 on Baidu and Google. Don't mix up the sequence of events here ^_^.
