How Blogs Work in 7 Easy Pieces

How Blogs Work in 7 Easy Pieces


Click on the diagram to get a full-size, non blurry image and scroll down for details.

Summary of How Blogs Work in 7 Easy Pieces



  1. Joe Blogger writes something and publishes it to his blog.
  2. Joe's Blog system updates his site's HTML, updates his RSS file and sends a 'ping' message to the 'Aggregation Ping Server' indicating that his site has updated.
  3. Search engines like Google and RSS specific services like Feedster, Technorati and PubSub periodically ask the Aggregation Ping Server, "Which sites have updated?".
  4. Since Joe's site sends pings and has an RSS file and is easy to update frequently, Joe's search engine rank is higher than a 'normal site'.
  5. Techie Teresa uses a program called an RSS reader to subscribe to Joe's site. The RSS reader checks Joe's RSS file for updates periodically (usually once/hour or once per day) and notifies her of Joe's updates. Teresa no longer wastes time manually surfing Joe's site. She just checks her RSS reader.
  6. As a result, Teresa's information flow is more efficient and she can monitor more sites in less time.
  7. Joe Surfer (who is not related to Joe Blogger) still can access blogs the old fashioned, slow and less efficient way using his web browser and search engines.

Notes (for those who care about details):


  1. This is typically done today using a web browser and clicking on a button I have generically labeled "Publish". It will vary depending on the system used. e.g. Blogware and MovableType uses the word "Save" instead of Publish, Radio uses "Post to Home Page", etc. Most blog systems also allow you to update your blog via email.
  2. Blog systems automate the creation of web pages, linking together pages and archiving old pages and creating and updating the RSS file. So bloggers don't think in terms of 'pages' or HTML, they think in terms of posts (short chunks of writing such as 'once upon a time...' because the blog system takes care of creating HTML pages out of multiple posts. This allows bloggers to concentrate on writing rather than technical site creation.

    There are other syndication formats. RSS is just the most successful.
    Atom is a syndication format that is new and gaining momentum.

    RSS was popularized by blogging but there is no reason why non blog sites can't have RSS files. In fact a lot of non blog sites like the New York Times, the BBC, etc. have RSS files as well.

    The first aggregation ping server was
    weblogs.com. Now there are many more such as blo.gs
  3. It's more complicated than this. I have glossed over the technical details but that's what happens from a high level.
  4. Rather than waiting weeks or days, to re-index a site, search engines re-index blog sites much more often (sometimes within minutes for Feedster, Technorati and PubSub) since they know right away when the site has updated. This leads to a more accurate search results and a higher search engine rank. So Joe's search engine rank is higher simply because he sends the 'ping' message and updates an RSS file without Joe having to manually register his site on search engines or hire an overpriced search engine optimization firm.
  5. We recommend Bloglines (free hosted solution like Hotmail for RSS), NetNewsWire (Mac) and FeedDemon (Windows) for your RSS reading needs but there are plenty more!
  6. If you want to make more money or care about getting the latest knowledge first, then an RSS reader (despite their crudeness; RSS readers and blog systems are at about the 'Visicalc stage' of evolution to use a spreadsheet analogy, the Excel of blogs and RSS readers will emerge in the future!) is an essential tool in your toolbox.
  7. Blogs are normal websites. The only 'magic sauce' is the RSS file and the pings and the fact that blog systems automate the tedium of archiving, constructing HTML pages and linking them together. Otherwise they are identical to any other website so even people who don't know about RSS can access them and use them.

RSS与“社会性软件”

RSS就是一段规范的XML数据,用一些大家约定的标记描述一个网志或者是一个新闻源的最新更新内容。


一般的网志都有RSS链接(比如本网志右下角就有XML的小图标rss200.png)它通常链接到该网志的RSSURL地址,网志通过提供最近的日志摘要甚至是全文的RSS文档使用户能够使用如SharpReaderNeszcrawler等新闻阅读软件自动获取最近的日志在本机上阅读。同时利用RSS,还可以通过服务器段的聚合程序,将众多的网志日志聚合成一个大的、松散的主题社区。(这一点非常有用!!!我想没有这个功能Blog可能不能被称之为是一款“社会性软件”工具)

NewzCrawler:网络新闻阅读、浏览者


导言


细心的访客可能已经注意到CNBlog左边一栏有个标记,做什么用呢?点击这个标记后,你会发现浏览器出现的文档很有结构,对了,这就是XML文档。这意味着我们可以写一个读取这个XML文档的新闻阅读软件,利用它,可以自动收集CNBlog的新文章,不止是CNBlog,你会发现,很多Blogger都在他们的站点上放了标记,那只要我们喜欢,就可以将它添加到新闻阅读软件中,以后我们不必打开浏览器在不同站点到处转,在新闻阅读软件中,我们就可以自动收集我们预订的Blog和其他新闻大站的新闻了。


下面要介绍的NewzCrawler就是具有上述功能的新闻阅读软件,除了新闻阅读功能之外,它还支持Blogger的RPC编程接口,也就是说,它提供了一个输入blog的客户端软件。


什么是NewzCrawler?


NewzCrawler是一款网页新闻阅读和浏览器,通过它,我们能从不同的来源中访问到许多新闻内容:




  • 基于XML格式(XML\RSS,CDF,BACKSLASH,SCRIPTINGNEWS等)的聚合(Syndicated)新闻。

  • Usenet新闻组中的新闻。

  • 网页新闻。


NewzCrawler从订阅的每一个新闻频道中收集新闻内容,然后以几种不同的方式显示来:滚动的新闻列表,新闻气球(就是浮动的提示框)和新闻Ticker。和其他相似的软件相比,NewzCrawler是在后台从不同的新闻源获取检索新闻,速度快,同时显示的方式可以订制。而且,它是目前唯一一个能获取不同来源新闻的软件。



我用NewzCrawler能做什么?





  • 从不同的内容源(XML\RSS,Usernet Newsgroup,Web)读取新闻。

  • 以所见即所得的HTML编辑方式编写消息,然后将他们发布到放在那些支持Blogger API的网站上的weblog中,或者发布到新闻群组。

  • 使用内置的浏览器浏览新闻文章。

  • 不断地从NEWS TICKER和NEWS BALLON这两种雅致的方式中获得最新新闻的消息。

  • 还可以把一些新闻和网页通过电子邮件发送给你的朋友。

  • 通过关键字进行新闻搜索。

  • 以可订制的树状方式管理、组织新闻频道。

  • 用MS Agenet来为你读新闻。

转载:用SharpReader订阅Blog

用SharpReader(免费软件)订阅Blog


RSS Aggregator: SharpReader 的介紹。


我們有很多的rss閱讀器,大部分都是免費的,可以用來訂閱部落客們的頻道(如果他們的網站上有rdf (rss 1.0) 或xml (rss 2.0) 的圖示或連結的話)。


Huttleman.com上面的介紹:(1 簡介) (2 程式介面預視)


1. 至http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ 看看是否有安裝Microsoft .NET Framework. 如果沒有,執行update升級安裝。


2. 至Sharpreader網站下載程式。


3. 解開至c:\Program Files\sharpreader\ 之下。


4. 執行SharpReader.exe 就可以使用了。也可以建個捷徑到桌面上。


5. 至部落格網站的rdf (rss 1.0) 或xml (rss 2.0) 的圖示或連結之上,按「右鍵」,[複製捷徑]。


6. 貼至SharpReader程式介面中的Address欄位裏。按Enter即可觀看。


7. 接下來,按 [File]-->[Subscribe Current Feed] 即可訂閱這個部落客(blogger)的頻道。


8. 程式的觀看介面很像Outlook,請自行玩玩看。點一下右上角的連結,是預覽,點兩下是細看。基本上程式每隔一段時間就會抓取最新的部落客資訊,就不用自已跑去點選瀏覽器上的「我的最愛」了,它會自動告訴妳,那一個部落格有了最新的文章,非常方便。


9. 轉移電腦時,可以利用其 [Export Subscriptions] 來轉出所有Address(頻道)的資訊,利用[Import Subscriptions] 功能,即可匯入。


10. 有一些新聞網站,甚至phpbb網站,也都有Rss Feed的功能,請看:(1) 「部落格隨便祭」 的上頭,有RSS連結可供訂閱頻道。另外, (2) 敝小站的「酋長與艾柏特的交換日記」也有RSS喔。
