A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak at SharePoint Saturday in New York. Weer, a tremendous event. Hierdie keer, I spoke about “learning SharePoint” – a very broad topic. During the presentation (wat jy hier kan kry), Ek het gepraat oor 'n verskeidenheid van tegnieke vir die "leer" SharePoint, insluitend dinge soos boek leer, klaskamer opleiding, skep jou eie VM en die belangrikste (vir my), community participation. One way to participate in the SharePoint community is via blogging. Someone asked me about blogging in particular and asked my opinion on a few concerns he had that I’ve heard others mention before. It’s been itching at the back of my head for a few weeks so in my usual fashion, Ek krap wat jeuk deur blog oor dit.

Sommige mense dink dat daar so baie kwaliteit bloggers daar buite op die toneel vandag en dat so baie kwaliteit blog inskrywings is geskryf dat in 'n sekere sin, there’s nothing new to write about. Of, the “new” thing is so narrowly focused that it’s not going to be interesting to anyone. I don’t agree with those sentiments or the underlying assumption about them.

Om mee te begin, as jy blog, want dit is deel van jou persoonlike poging om te leer SharePoint goed, it’s really irrelevant if someone has written on your topic or not. One of the drivers behind community participation, of dit nou vir persoonlike leer of nie, is dat jy nodig het om te kry dit reg. No one wants to put up some weak blog entry and look silly in front of the world. In the course of getting it right, jy gaan die onderwerp te dink deur middel van meer versigtig, ens.. Thus, jy dink, studeer en die oorweging van hierdie onderwerp uit alle soorte hoeke, links na regs, tot af, binne en buite (of ten minste het jy moet wees). That’s a very valuable exercise. In werklikheid, it’s almost beside the point of pushing the “post” button by the time you finish writing it since you’ve already derived much of the benefit by now. Natuurlik, jy wil die post knoppie in elk geval te stoot vir 'n verskeidenheid van redes, but I digress. The bottom line is that blogging is a valuable learning exercise in and of itself, tydperk.

I also reject the “it’s already been done” argument. So what if it was? The terrible consequence is that people who are looking up your topic via bing will now find two or five or a dozen articles. Who cares? I always prefer to find several articles on the same topic when I go searching the tubes for stuff. Different points of view, verskillende skryfstyle, different approaches to the same problem – they all help me understand what I need. In my opinion, die gemeenskap is nie waar naby aan die bereiking van 'n versadigingspunt op goeie gehalte blog artikels oor enige onderwerp in die SharePoint wêreld.

So, blog weg! You won’t hear me complaining about it. I guarantee it 🙂

Ek was DM'd 'n boodskap van Twitter vandag en gedink ek wil die antwoord blog.

Die vraag is: "Haai Paul, vinnige een vir jou,hoe het jy die Twitter toonbank in jou lewe ruimte as die script kode is geblokkeer wanneer gered Thx "

Ek het dit gedoen deur die toevoeging van 'n persoonlike html widget aan my lewe ruimtes bladsy en die gebruik van die klein kode uit:

<1 href="http://twittercounter.com /?username = pagalvin" 

 titel="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin"> 

 <img src="http://twittercounter.com / toonbank /?username = pagalvin" 

 wydte=88 

 hoogte=26 

 styl= "Border:geen" 

 ou="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin">

</1>

Dit maak gebruik van 'n weergawe van die toonbank Twitter widget koppelvlak wat kry verby die Windows Live sensor ding wat ons almal haat so baie en wens sou 'n slegte geval van Poison Ivy kry.

Ek opgetel Windows Live ruimtes terug in Julie van die 2007 as my blogging platform. For the most part, Ek het geen berou en Microsoft beslis strek dit oor 'n tydperk (al het ek hoofsaaklik uit te vind oor die nuwe funksies deur 'n ongeluk).

My biggest complaint right now is blog spam. This person / rekening (http://cid-82b0534bceed9881.profile.live.com/) (onder andere) frequently adds a lot of spam comments to my blog in the form of comments. MSFT added a nice feature to show “recent comments” so at least I can fairly quickly identify them (terwyl voordat, Ek het om te gaan in elke blog entry afsonderlik) and clean them up. It’s still time consuming.

Ek wens dat:

1. MSFT sou 'n beter filter vir spam.
2. Dat ek kan verstop spesifieke mense uit te voeg kommentaar.
3. Versuim om die bogenoemde, I could more easily identify and delete spam. Right now, Ek nodig het om dit te doen kommentaar deur die kommentaar en dit is stadig, veral wanneer 'n spam robot persoon / program voeg 25 aan 50 kommentaar in een sessie.

As jy 'n Windows Live gebruiker en het 'n paar nuttige truuks te deel, Ek sal dankbaar wees.

Die afgelope somer, terwyl ek besig was op twee hoofstukke vir die beste SharePoint sosiale rekenaar boek wat nog ooit, I began to get very far behind in my blog reading. I use Google Reader for my RSS stuff and when you have more than 1000 ongelees items, dit sê net, "1000 ".

Oor die afgelope paar weke, Ek het gaan sit en stelselmatig te lees en om hulle te etiketteer as ek gaan vir toekomstige verwysing (Ek gebruik Delicious.com).

Die afgelope naweek het ek al verlore, seisoen vier in 'n paar van die sittings en vang op 1000+ blog inskrywings voel dieselfde manier.

Hulle trek my terug in!

Windows Live Spaces doesn’t do a good job protecting me from comment spam. I assume MSFT has good spam detection, but that the spammers are better. The fact remains, egter, wat ek kry baie meer spam kommentaar as ek kry die regte kommentaar en ek was net te dink in die laaste week of so dat ek gaan om kommentaar te skakel.

Egter, vandag, Ek het twee uitstekende kommentaar in reaksie op hierdie pos (oor Limited Access) en hierdie pos (oor die beperking van soek na dokumente, in teenstelling met dopgehou). Those comments are so complementary (in die sin dat hulle by 'n baie waarde aan my post), I can’t see disabling comments and thereby closing off that avenue of useful information. So, Ek het bedank om myself te menswees spam vanger / cleaner. Live spaces does provide a pretty decent way to clean up comments, maar wat wil tyd te mors om dit te doen?

My EMC kollega, Erik Swenson, oorreed om te spring in die geveg, stand up and be counted 🙂

Hy blogs oor oor 'n wye verskeidenheid van SharePoint brandmerk onderwerpe op http://erikswenson.blogspot.com/. Some of his recent posts include interesting stuff about Photoshop, Microsoft Office Live vir klein besighede, SharePoint Bestuur, creating custom WCM styles and so forth. He does not confine himself to branding. It’s quite an interesting mix which is a little bit different from a lot of the SharePoint blogs with which I’m familiar.

Sy RSS feed: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SharepointBrandingDesign

Check it out and give him a little encouragement. We all need that from time to time, veral wanneer ons die eerste keer regtig duik in die blog wêreld.

Twitter is a very odd duck. I’ve been using Twitter for a little over a month and in some indefinable way, it’s almost as important to me as email. I find myself vaguely unsettled if I wait too long before looking over what others are twittering about. I get annoyed at Twitter’s occasional performance problems because it means I’m missing out. I get a little puff of excitement when I see a new Woot announcement.

Dit is 'n werklike gemeenskap bouer in 'n manier wat werklik blogs en forums en selfs persoonlike gesig aanvulling tot aangesig vergaderings.

In die afgelope maand, Ek het gevolg een persoon se pogings om te skud 'n koue terwyl hy probeer om 'n Seder te bestuur.

I’ve learned personal detail about many folks I mainly "know" deur middel van blogs — waar hulle woon, die aard van die projekte wat hulle werk op, dat hulle 'n werk / familie kwessies net te bestuur soos ek.

Een persoon se ma oorlede … a sad event for sure. But sharing that fact changes and enhances the character of the whole experience.

Dit is net die persoonlike dinge.

There’s more to it than that. It’s also another medium for sharing ideas, of meer dikwels Ek dink, seeking help. Throw a question up on Twitter and you’re never left hanging and the responses typically arrive within minutes.

As jy nog nie probeer om dit, you should really give it a go.

Ongelukkig, Ek skoongemaak my gmail rekening uur voor die ondertekening, so het dit nie vind nie wanneer dit vir kontakte gesoek.

As jy met behulp van Twitter, laat my weet en ek sal graag verbind.

It seems fairly common in the political blogging world for a given blog to host a "guest blogger". When I’m in political blog land I must be wearing a different pair of eye glasses because it never occurred to me that "guest blogging" might make sense for a technical blog like mine. That is, until I read this post by Kanwal Khipple over at The Best of SharePoint Buzz- Januarie 2008.

Thinking on it, I believe there could be a lot of people out there in SharePoint land that have the itch to put together an article, short or long, technical or more business oriented, ens., but don’t run their own blog for all the usual reasons. If you’re one of those people, I’d be happy to host it. You can reach me via email or leave a comment. I haven’t thought through any kind of guidelines, but I suppose that I’d want it to be oriented around SharePoint, but I also like to throw in some personal observations about consulting now en dan. I’m also trying to publish a "Sondag Funny" every week and I’m bound to run out of ideas for that.

If you’re a regular blogger already but would like to experiment with guest blogging, I’m definitely open to that too, óf as gasheer óf as gas 🙂

I started off my "blogging career" using Microsoft’s platform and it’s been good to me. It’s easy to post, there are good options and widgets for managing your "space", ordentlike web stoor en dies meer.

Egter, I really just fell into the MS solution with almost no planning. That alone calls for me to evaluate where I am and where I’m going, in terms of a blogging platform. There are also two important limitations that bother me right now vis-à-vis Windows Live Spaces.

Eerste, I can’t get very good statistics. There are stats but the detail is often truncated and not presented in a way that allows for any kind of analysis. There no sorting or export capability. I get many blog ideas based on the kind of information people find (of veral nie om te vind) when they search my blog. It’s very hard to use lives spaces for that.

Tweede, there does not seem to be any mechanism to "monetize" a windows live space blog. In werklikheid, om ontslae te raak van MS-advertensies (waaruit ek put geen voordeel), I need to actually pay Microsoft. (Ten minste, dit is hoe ek dit verstaan; Ek is nie in staat is om definitiewe antwoorde te kry en vrae wil dit).

Nou dat ek het 'n gevestigde patroon en stel blog gewoontes, I want to evaluate other options. I’ve done some research and there are a lot of choices, maar ek is nuuskierig na wat ander mense, veral ander in die gemeenskap van SharePoint (as bloggers of lesers), like to use.

As hierdie onderwerp belange en jy het 'n mening of bereid is om jou ervaring te deel, los 'n kommentaar of my direk e-pos.

Dankie!
