Learn with me: #1
What better way to start a week then with a WEBclass!? I’ve promised that I’ll be learning this thing called bloging with You so here we go! I’m gonna start with the basics:
Blog - A blog (like WebExit) is a public Web site with personal posts ordered so that the most recent is always first. Often these posts are also archived and searchable. Posts may come from one or many individuals, and the messages often share a common theme. The most recent blogs posted, with links and a brief description, are available via RSS.
Feeds - These are XML documents used for Web syndication (talked about it already), often with links to new articles or blog posts and brief descriptions. Sometimes called a channel.
XML (Extensible Markup Language) - A markup language that describes many different kinds of data so that programs can modify and validate data. Its primary purpose is to share structured text over the Internet.
RSS or Really Simple Syndication - This is an XML-based Web syndication tool for Web sites and blogs. RSS repackages new content with information such as a date, a title, a link, and a brief description. An RSS Reader then interprets this feed so that the user need only read the description and link to the news story or blog post.
That’s it for today’s lesson!!!
