Blogging - A Starters Guide

• Determine the purpose of your blog. At the very least, it can be used for your personal knowledge base, journal, etc (Why I Blog.)
• Make some choices:
  • Choose an editor application¹. For example, because you can’t always just depend upon a blog’s editor, to have all the features you want/like/need, etc.
  • Choose a blog, from various blog providers². Try out several, and then choose one that appeals to you (e.g. for ease of managment, appearance, etc.)
  • (optional) Choose a photo hosting provider³, so that you can post pictures there, and then link to them from your blog.
  • (optional) Choose means of earning money⁴
• Starting Blogging.
• Enjoy.

¹ Editor applications (e.g. Flock’s Blog tool, Google Docs, VIM, SeaMonkey Composer, Outlook Mail Message)
² Blog Providers (e.g. 360.yahoo.com, Bloglines, blogsome, Blogger, flickr, jaiku, LiveJournal, MySpace, Opera, Performancing, twitter, Vox, WebRing, Windows.Live.Spaces, WordPress)
³ Photo providers (flickr, GooglePhotos, photobucket, webshots).
⁴ Earning Money providers. For example: www.livingroom.org.au/photolog has links to many sites.

TIP: When to use slash -vs backslash

• “A slash or stroke, /, is a punctuation mark. It is also called an oblique, diagonal, whack, separatrix, virgule, scratch comma, slant, or forward slash. It appears similar to a solidus or shilling mark, which is a separate character.” en.wikipedia
• “The backslash ( \ ) is a typographical mark (glyph) used chiefly in computing. It was first introduced in 1960 by Bob Bemer.^[1] Sometimes called a reverse solidus, it is the mirror image of the common slash. It is also known as a slosh.^[2] In colloquial speech, it is sometimes called a whack (however that term is considered to be properly a synonym only for the forward slash)”, wikipedia

TIP: Vim sort

Being a big fan of vi*, I also use vim.

Not knowing how to sort, on a Windows system, from vim, I searched and found a Vim Wiki, where I read in VimTip588:

the simple sample in the tip can be solved by native :sort command, no plugin required.

:sort /\s\+/

and for the visual blocking condition, you need not any plugin neither. e.g. if your Visuall Block start at visual colume 7, without selecting it, just execute

:sort /\%7v/

* from BSD
