　　What is a Blog?

'Blog 'is short for Web Log (Translator's note: Internet Blog (also called a Blog in mainland China )). It is an intermediary between the author and the reader to interact with each other in the log style. In the software community, people share ideas and ideas with the Internet. For example, http://blogs.msdn.com is a blogging on MSDN.

　　What is the easiest way to create a website?

The easiest way to create your own blog is to register a new user at a site like blogger.com, which provides a Web interface for creating a custom blog, and you can immediately apply the created website records. There are many sites similar to blogger.com, all of which provide support for the characteristics of the website. If you want to control the basic structure of your website or create a website service system on your server. You can choose one of the following most popular online products: Radio Userland, Manila, and Movable Type. Some easy-to-use free. NET blogs can be used. the most popular ones are. TEXT and dasBlog. You only need to download them and install and set them according to the installation instructions. a running Wangzhi service system can be established in minutes.

In terms of efficacy, these two. NET-based systems are not similar. The important difference is. TEXT requires a database, SQL Server, or MSDE, and dasBlog stores all the information in XML files (based on the BlogX framework originally created by some Microsoft developers). Another difference is that. TEXT in a single installation configuration can support multiple network records (such as the current http://blogs.msdn.com), and dasBlog to support multiple network records, must be installed multiple times. But dasBlog has a very prominent feature, that is, "Mail to Weblog", which promises to announce new information through email.

The new MSDN Wangzhi service station and PDC Bloggers are all beginning to look for the software development topic. You only need to browse one of these sites to view their aggregated pre-content. Its pre-prepared abstract will show you a lot of personal blogs, and gradually you will naturally invent something you prefer to browse. In this way, you can directly reserve your favorite personal blog summary.

For the blogs devoted to XML and Web Services, please refer to the list on the MSDN Web Services Developer Center. I personally spend a lot of time on these websites.

　　What is Feed (hereinafter referred to as Feed) and how to reserve it?

Wangzhi provides a feed to the RSS document content, which can be obtained through the well-known URL. An RSS document is an XML file that contains a large number of discrete message items, such as imported items in a blog (see Figure 1 for an RSS feed example ). Because RSS is an XML pattern file, it is easily applied by other programs.

RSS aggregator is a program that reads RSS documents and displays message items. Most aggregators only need to input the rss url, making it possible to predefine the feed.

RSS makes browsing your website easy. Most developers who frequently browse the website use a certain type of aggregator to help them effectively filter the abstract content. The aggregator makes browsing the website feel like browsing emails, because they highlight message items and buffer them for offline browsing (see Figure 2 ).
