Blogosphere Jargon

For a newbie, the blogging jargon may be a brand new venture and sometimes overwhelming. Below are some commonly used terms in the blogosphere.

Post: Posts are also known as entries. Every time you write something and display it on your blog, you create a post. In typical computer jargon fashion, this noun can also be used as a verb: You can post to your blog.

Comments: Comments is the way in which a blog writer holds conversation with the blog readers. People who visit your blog can post their opinion, which is called a comment. Comments are usually time-stamped and identified by the author’s name and perhaps a link to their Web site or blog. On some blogs, comments are threaded so that readers can comment on other comments, but on most blogs comments are simply displayed chronologically.

Comment spam: We all get loads of unwanted and irrelevant emails called spam. Same is a problem on blogs as well. Comment spam, as you would expect, is left in the comments of a blog. It usually includes just a few words sometimes unrelated to the blog content and a hyperlink.. The idea of the spammer is to promote his/her own blog/site giving it higher search engine rankings.

Categories: Categories permit a blogger to divide the content meticulously. For instance, putting posts about fashion into one basket and posts about celebrities in another. Categories immensely help the readers read only what they are most interested in. It is a good tool for those scanning a blog's archives.


Trackbacks: Trackback technology helps bloggers link back to other posts on related subjects. If you're posting about something that you've seen on another blog, look for the Trackback URL. Paste that URL into the allotted spot in your own blogging software, and the two pieces of blog software will communicate, building a link from the original post to yours (without the other blogger having to lift a finger).

Trackback spam: Works just like comment spam, but done via Trackback.

Pings: Pinging is sending out a message to several blogging tracking Web sites to let them know that you have posted some fresh content on your blog.Once your post is included in the ping site's index, it potentially increases your traffic.

RSS/Atom feeds: In the blogosphere, syndication is a big deal. With millions of blogs to read, many consumers use news aggregators, or readers, to pull in posts and read them, rather than visiting 150 blogs every day. RSS and Atom are two flavors of blog syndication.

Blogroll/lists: Ever noticed those long lists of other blogs alongside the posts in a blog? That's a blogroll, a list of the blogs read by the blogger whose site you are on. Sometimes lists are also kept to recommend books and other media, as well.

Moblogging: Moblogging is the short form of "mobile blogging." Lots of blog software lets you post by e-mail from your phone, PDA, or anything else that allows you to send e-mails.

Blacklist: Blacklists are usually lists of URLs that have been identified as spam URLs, and that are therefore eliminated from comments and Trackbacks on your blog. With most blog software, the software company builds and maintains a common blacklist for all users to which individuals can contribute.

Captchas: Captchas are an additional security feature for commenting and user registration. By providing an image that includes letters and numbers, and by requiring the user to type in those letters and numbers, blog software can ensure that the comment or trackback is not some spam produced by robot programs.

Post scheduling: Some blog software allows you to write posts and schedule them to be published at some point in the future. This is handy for vacations and holidays.

Bookmarks: A bookmark is a link directly to the new post page of your blog.It's a shortcut to the blog posting quickly.To see bookmarking service that allows you to save your favorite links online and access them from any computer, wherever you are, click here.

Templates: Most blog software includes a set of pre-designed templates that give the blog a certain look and feel. Changing templates is like donning a new outfit on to your blog.

To see how you can change the default template to a different one, click here.

URL Redirection: In an effort to render comment and Trackback spam ineffective, links included in comments and Trackbacks are tagged with the NOFOLLOW tag, which indicates to search engines that it shouldn't be counted when tallying search engine rankings for a Web site. There is a "NO NO Follow" movement happening presently in the blogosphere. Read more about it here.

    I frequently have people ask me what particular terms they hear around the "blogosphere" actually mean. In order to answer these questions, I decided to create my own little reference guide that covers the most used terms. Some of these definitions were written from scratch and others were gathered from various sources. If I used another source, I included a link back so credit could be given where it was due.
