Your question :How do Weblog writing affect the writing ability of primary students in Hong Kong?: is an interesting and important question that could result in appropriate research. However, I think that you might be a bit off target with proposed methodology. I would think that this question can be more suitable for a case study of language class using weblog to express their ideas in writing over certain period of time. wgkjzvl
