This study was divided into three stages. The first phase was gathering functional requirements. The result showed that the majority of those surveyed thought book collection service was important among a blog site's functions. The second phase was the experiments of interface design and the basic functions of book collection features using existing function modules of blogs. The result of analysis leaded to detailed needs of user interface components.

Participants carried out four groups of typical tasks as follows: browsing blog, browsing the blog RSS network, new book adding, books collection editing.
The results showed that:
