我有了一个Blog

在1989年，万维网WWW的一个主要目的是成为分享信息的空间。很明显她应该成为一个让任何人都可以发挥创造力和奉献贡献的空间。第一款浏览器实际上是一款浏览器也同时是一个编辑器，允许拥有写入权限的人修改任何页面并保存到网上。

 

奇怪得很的是，万维网开始发展阶段很像一个出版媒体，大家都在线下进行编辑。更为诡异的是，他们都时刻准备着编辑那些带着趣智尖括号标记的HTML代码，而不是要求一款所见即所得的编辑器。虽然万维网WWW很快就成为拥有很多有意思东西的地方，但是她不是一个允许公共设计和通过共同编辑著述来交流信息的地方。

 

现在2005年，我们有了Blog和Wiki。事实上他们十分流行，这使我认识到我原来认为人们都需要发挥创造力的地方的想法不是疯狂的想法。我曾经有过华贵的时代，也就是我有一个我自己有写入权限的网站，我可以使用像Amaya和Nvu这样的工具来直接编辑网页。因为有这些工具，所以我一度认为我没有必要去用Blog工具来写Blog。事实上我的Blog文章一直就是“设计问题”系列的技术文章。

 

可以说，拥有一台可以管理导航栏和评论按钮或更多其他东西的电脑是非常棒的，而且能够在一种尽可能减少对站点危害的模式下进行编辑也是非常好的。所以我觉得开始尝试使用Blog工具来写Blog。这也就是所有人一直都在说的：我应该有一个Blog。

So I have a blog

In 1989 one of the main objectives of the WWW was to be a space for sharing information. It seemed evident that it should be a space in which anyone could be creative, to which anyone could contribute. The first browser was actually a browser/editor, which allowed one to edit any page, and save it back to the web if one had access rights.

 

Strangely enough, the web took off very much as a publishing medium, in which people edited offline. Bizarely, they were prepared to edit the funny angle brackets of HTML source, and didn't demand a what you see is what you get editor. WWW was soon full of lots of interesting stuff, but not a space for communal design, for discource through communal authorship.

 

Now in 2005, we have blogs and wikis, and the fact that they are so popular makes me feel I wasn't crazy to think people needed a creative space. In the mean time, I have had the luxury of having a web site which I have write access, and I've used tools like Amaya and Nvu which allow direct editing of web pages. With these, I haven't felt the urge to blog with blogging tools. Effectively my blog has been the Design Issues series of technical articles.

 

That said, it is nice to have a machine to the administrative work of handling the navigation bars and comment buttons and so on, and it is nice to edit in a mode in which you can to limited damage to the site. So I am going to try this blog thing using blog tools. So this is for all the people who have been saying I ought to have a blog.
