How to read many weblogs in minutes?
Syndication Manual for webloggers.
1. What is syndication?
minutes Serves to know who updated his weblog and how.
Surely, on a regular basis and within your means, crossing several popular weblogs to see what's new in each one of them. With the syndication
you know within minutes from your favorite weblogs, who wrote something, when, what title put and the first words of it. Then if you're interested, go directly to the article on the weblog, you end up reading it and if you told him so. Used to find weblogs
the topics that interest me.
Suppose you like the band "The always-tune" (do not look, there is only an example :-). Or are you a supporter of sports equipment "Breathless." (Nor is there, drowned all
:-) Then you visit a site every few minutes to scroll through thousands of weblogs, enter the names of the band or sports team, and show you what other bloggers wrote about them. If there are no results, it's time to do write something yourself (or change of taste in music or sports equipment)
serves to "census" the opinion of the bloggers on a topic
time something important happened in your town, country or world. Suppose now seek chemical weapons in my country, Uruguay, and we unleash the war (¡?). With the above mechanism would look for the words "war Uruguay" and would know immediately and updated as what has been written about it. Note that the finders
normally can not give you that information. Take several days to pass through the different websites to "read" the news to update their databases.
serves to understand that we are the world's navel Continuing
search that way, we could try to find our name, for example, and note that neither our brother, we mentioned on your blog ... :-(
If we are a public person (artist, athlete, union, professional, political, etc ...) probably is followed. It is therefore important to learn quickly, to enhance our ego or to exercise the right to reply :-)
serves to receive an email when someone wrote about what interests us
Imagine now that the public person above, available in any tool that will immediately send an email when you have news. Thus
further shorten the delay in learning.
serves to get more readers on our weblog
of previous earnings, it appears another way to find weblogs.
Therefore, the more chance we have also to be found, visited and commented!
serves to place on the edge of your recent weblog post from your friend.
probably one of the edges have a list of your favorite weblogs. You could add the date of last update for each one, the title of the last article, or the commencement.
Fits ...
2. How does the association?
a) Sharing information
The first step is to make available other weblogs, applications or programs, our latest entries posted.
Depending on the type of program or service you're using in our weblog, posting a new article (post), modified and / or create multiple files: main, by subject category, per month, individual articles, etc.. Also be creating a small file that serves this great way of sharing information.
Each system has its own way of creating it, the result is an RSS feed, RDF, XML, ATOM, etc. No matter what, they all serve.
This is a text file will have inside information from the past say that fifteen entries (posts) in your weblog. For each item will
:
The title of the link to the full article on our weblog
The first paragraphs of Article
The date and time of creation
may also have other information such as title, author, and description of the weblog, link to our logo, etc..
The most interesting is that you create will have no programming skills whatsoever. All modern systems and services weblogs do automatically and without our intervention.
Notes:
Bloggers: from January 22, 2004 will have the option to syndicate by ATOM records. To activate it you must go to the section Site Feed Settings on the weblog and make the requested changes.
Users of Movable Type, everything works fine. If you are motivated you can make some improvements, as recommended in Bitácoras.net .
b) Reading the information
Different types of applications may take part now. As services on some websites, programs to install on your computer, scripts to add our own website.
These applications will access files created prior organize and act accordingly:
Verify if changed. If it does not do anything, because there is no news
If there changes, read all the information they contain.
filed the information in its database to ofrecérnosla without delay when requested.
Iran seeking to organize other files to start again.
will revisit our database to organize. The frequency happen again depends on the time set in the application, the speed with which it does, the amount of work you have, etc.
c) Processing information
It then provides a very up to date database with information in the articles of weblogs desired.
Now is the time when the same application above or another, can perform any of the actions we describe the principle : Learn in minutes
who updated his weblog and how. Find
weblogs to the topics that interest me.
census the opinion of the bloggers on a topical issue.
Find information about a particular topic.
Send us an email when someone wrote about what we want.
Place on the edge of your recent weblog post from your friend.
Etc. ..
3. Reading Tools to Organize
Two-readable form, using a program installed on your computer or using some online service. You have
Explanations of these in Castilian on the most popular desktop : Feedreader, NewsMonster, RssReader, NewsDesk, AmphetaDesk. You can also visit
downloads on Softonic which also in our language have several programs. What are free, what are the limitations, user comments, etc. Castilian
An instructional on how to install a single, the Feedreader: By becoming addicted to RSS in 5 steps
A list in English Options "feed readers" with subjective comments from the author's experience.
Other tests in English:
Lockergnome's RSS Resource Rss Readers
Online applications are ideal for anyone who refers weblogs in different PC:
The Sindicón.com (in Castilian)
Bloglines (in English) is the one I use and recommend for now.
Feedmanía (in Castilian) another highly recommended in our language
4. Finding the right file
Once you have the program installed or you are registered with an online reader, it is now time to indicate what we want to syndicate weblogs. To do this, we must seek some reference to the file association.
Look at the end of side edge, some of these texts: RDF, RSS, XML, ATOM, syndicate, syndicate, feed, etc.
There is the link to that weblog syndication.
This direction, which then add them to your application for updates quickly.
If you are not
If there is anything of it, then you can write to the author asking, If you have no idea what you are saying, I refer to this manual :-). The learn, so everyone will have the chance to meet.
Sometimes we will not know which file to use, but will clear the program or service that you use to publish. If Movable Type, looking http://suweblog.com/index.rdf . If is on Blogger, then searches the atom.xml file in the root of the weblog.
We leave the most common names used by major publishing systems:
File Created with
b2rss.php B2, b2rss2.php, b2rss.xml,
Blogger atom.xml
Drupal
module.php? mod = node & op = feed Movable Type
index.xml, index.rdf, PHP-Nuke
backend.php
pMachine PostNuke
index.xml
Radio UserLand
backend.php
rss.xml
Sharing list: OPML
To make things easier is that it created another file type: the OPML. It would be something like a list of favorite weblogs each.
So if I have a list of weblogs in a particular subject, I can offer for anyone to use in their application to organize and thus in one step, including all the weblogs I've collected without having to search and enter them one at one.
For example, we have a list of weblogs Uruguayans are unionizing so that anyone can add to your application.
addition, this file will have a backup that will also allow us to spend our subscriptions to a different program we want to use.
Other novel uses you can find them in this note :
5. Optimizing our notes: Title and header
As readers have many weblogs to read, we should try to facilitate rapid information. Therefore it is important to summarize all the content using the title and header as to provide an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat will the rest of the entry (post).
The title must achieve attention and announce the main thing. Generally have no more than 8 or ten words.
header: this means the first paragraph. In many systems of weblogs is a separate field, which will then link "read more". The header must be achieved to encourage the reader to continue reading the rest. Should not usually be more than thirty words. Organise
With more than ever, these two elements will define how read our notes.
