Qumana a New Blog Editor

Filed under: Blog, Software - November 15, 2007 - ה' כסלו תשס"ח

Normally I use Windows Live Writer to write post on my blog, in fact 90% of the post was made using this software. But today I discover a new editor for blogging and I want to try.

Well I downloaded from here an installed on my computer and start writing just this post to see if I liked or not.

The window interface of Qumana is simple and clean, you can change many things like font, size, align, etc. You can add a link in an easy way or an image…

You have at the right side of the window the list of categories and you can indicate if you are going to allow comments and trackbacks. As you can see on the image above is a clean interface with nothing extra to comment about.

When you start this program you have two windows, one is the Qumana Blog Manager and the other is the editor. You can see both of them below.

In resume is a good software but I must say that Windows Live Writer is better because the environment it presents is the same of

Things a Blog Must Have

ABOUT PAGE 

So why did you create your Web site, anyway? Yes, you have a front page that may answer that question. More likely, though, it does not, and rather serves to let users login, “sells” your site, shows something splashy, and so on. Probably there is a way for users to navigate from the home page to the “about” page—go ahead and make that information available right from http://mysite.example.com/about.html. Someone will look there for it.

A good about page provides a quick overview of what your site does, maybe why you created it, why users might care, and probably has a few links to navigate back to the core functions of your site.

404 PAGE 

When users use your Web site, they will inevitably seek resources that do not exist. Probably this happens more often because of typos in URLs than for any other reason, but link rot, back-end misconfiguration and other causes contribute. When resources are unavailable, it is nice to provide some sort of

Windows Live Writer

Filed under: Blog, Windows - September 13, 2007 - א' תשרי תשס"ח

I just download this program and installed. Right now I am using it to write this post and I can tell that it looks really great.

During the installation process, I had to respond many question related to my blog, like where I have it, what kind of service I have (Wordpress, Blogger, etc.) and many other things that I do not remember right now.

What I like it more is that during the installation it checks your blog and try to figure it out how is the theme your are using, so Live Writer try to emulate it during the writing process. And I have to say that this particular characteristic is really great, because right now I am feeling that I am working direct on my blog theme.

Other characteristics are: check spelling, you can view your post on Normal, Web Layout, Web Preview and HTML Code.

You can insert tables, pictures, tags, maps, video and many other things.

And once you are finish writing the post you can save

Tips para tu Blog / Blog Tips

Filed under: Blog - August 28, 2007 - י"ד אלול תשס"ז

Seguramente ya has visto este titulo en cualquier cantidad de blogs, todos y cada uno diciendote que hacer para llevar mas gente a tu blog y que no solo lo visiten, si no que interactuen contigo. Yo tambien he visitado miles de estos blogs y unos dicen que hacer y que no. Bueno pues yo no voy a hacer lo mismo, en realidad lo que te voy a comentar es mi experiencia despues de hacerle caso a muchos de ellos.

Bueno pues despues de leer miles de sugerencias de que hacer o que no, lo unico que me ha ayudado es escribir por lo menos un comentario al dia, mentira de que tienes que escribir como loco varios comentarios con por lo menos un numero determinado de palabras, eso en realidad no sirve. Solo escribe uno pero cuando lo hagas ten en cuenta de que debes ser tu mismo, no copies o traduzcas de otros lados, claro a menos que lo indiques y le des credito a la o las personas que lo escrribieron junto con una liga a su sitio.

NO y repito NO llenes de anuncios tu blog, si crees que vas a vivir de esto creeme que no es …
