Word Content: Bloggers not publishing original content anymore?
Posted on December 24th, 2007 at 20:51 in Internet, Blogging, Thoughts.
No Replies.
Just recently, I came across this website. It’s called Word Content, and its main purpose is to give you, for a fee, unique articles to publish on your website. When I saw it, I was surprised by the concept: if blogging is all about people expressing their personal opinion and publishing it for the whole world to read, why would you want to buy articles for your blog? So I searched for an explanation in this post.

Announcing Chameleon

Today, I officially release Chameleon, a blogging platform focused on customizability and extensibility. Its first public version, version 0.5.5 Beta, comes with quite a lot of functionality already included, but with even more still missing. Along the way to 1.0, this functionality will be added, growing Chameleon into a mature blogging solution.

Advanced content management

The last few months, I’ve been working on a new project: a personal publishing platform. Originating from a blogging platform, the application I’m currently developing is much more: all different kinds of entries can be managed through it. Whether you want to post articles, blog posts, recipes or images, the system manages them all in the same way, but displays them differently.

Active vs. passive media

You all know blogging is hot. But lately, more and more tumblelogs appear, weblogs on which images, links and quotes are collected and published in chronological order. Projectionist is for example one of those, or Tumble. These however do not publish information actively, but rather passively, as something occurs it gets blogged. That’s an important distinction in the blogging world, active versus passive media.

How to disable nofollow in WordPress

You maybe already heard about the nofollow tag, invented by Google to prevent spam. In fact, it doesn’t prevent or decrease spam at all, and a lot of criticism has been expressed against it. Some of the reasons why you shouldn’t use nofollow are summed up at NoNoFollow. In this post, I’ll explain how to simply remove the nofollow tag from WordPress, without the need to install a plugin.

edgeio: publish listings

edgeio allows people to publish listings, but it allows them to control how everything is published, discovered and consumed. It gives you full control over your listings, and it’s easy to add and remove them. It doesn’t have any restrictive terms and conditions, the publisher finally decides to who he wants to sell it and how much it will cost.

co.mments, another comment tracker

After coComment, another comment tracker launched: co.mments. Its goal is the same as coComment’s: bookmark a conversation you want to follow, and get all the new comments delivered on one page. However, this service has one feature coComment really misses: comment crawling. coComment only displays comments posted by other coComment users, while co.mments displays all comments.

Need a better design
Posted on November 26th, 2005 at 16:02 in Blogging, Blog.

I recently finished the design of this blog, but I still don’t think it looks like it should. The blog is missing colors and nice buttons. A good design has some colors everywhere, and a better background than this one. The background should at least consist of two lines of paint splashes, instead of two […]
