Athugaðu: Þetta var upphaflega settar til www.endusersharepoint.com.

A few weeks ago I had the chance to speak at SharePoint Saturday in New York. Enn og aftur, a tremendous event. Í þetta sinn, I spoke about “learning SharePoint” – a very broad topic. During the presentation (sem þú getur fengið hér), Ég talaði um ýmsar aðferðir til "að læra" SharePoint, þ.mt efni eins lært af bókum, bekknum herbergi þjálfun, búa til eigin VM og síðast en ekki síst (mér), 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, Ég klóra þessi kláði með því að blogga um það.

Sumir telja að það eru svo margir gæði bloggers þarna úti á vettvangi í dag og að svo margir gæði bloggfærslur hafa verið skrifað að í vissum skilningi, there’s nothing new to write about. Eða, 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.

Fyrir ræsir, ef þú ert að blogga vegna þess að það er hluti af persónulegum tilraun að læra SharePoint vel, it’s really irrelevant if someone has written on your topic or not. One of the drivers behind community participation, hvort sem það er fyrir persónulega að læra eða ekki, er að þú þarf að fá það rétt. 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, þú ert að fara að hugsa um efni í gegnum fleiri vandlega, o.fl.. Thus, þú ert að hugsa, nám og miðað við þetta efni frá alls konar sjónarhornum, vinstri til hægri, allt að ofan, inni og út (eða að minnsta kosti ættir þú að vera). That’s a very valuable exercise. Í raun, 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. Auðvitað, þú vilt að ýta á eftir hnappinn samt af ýmsum ástæðum, but I digress. The bottom line is that blogging is a valuable learning exercise in and of itself, tímabil.

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, mismunandi skriftir stíll, different approaches to the same problem – they all help me understand what I need. In my opinion, samfélagið er ekki þar nálægt því að ná mettun benda á góða blogg greinar um hvaða efni í SharePoint heiminum.

Svo, bloggað í burtu! You won’t hear me complaining about it. I guarantee it 🙂

Ég var DM'd skilaboð frá kvak í dag og hélt ég myndi blogga svarið.

Spurningin er: "Hey Paul, fljótur einn fyrir þig,Hvernig fékkstu kvak gegn í lifandi rúm sem handrit númerið er lokað þegar vistað THX "

Ég gerði þetta með því að bæta sérsniðna HTML búnaður til lifandi rými síðuna mína og nota litla kóðann:

<a href="http://twittercounter.com /?username = koddaver" 

 titill="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin"> 

 <IMG src="http://twittercounter.com / gegn /?username = koddaver" 

 breidd=88 

 hæð=26 

 stíl="border:enginn" 

 gamall="TwitterCounter for @pagalvin">

</a>

Þetta notar útgáfu af kvak gegn búnaður tengi sem fær framhjá Windows Live ritskoða hlutur sem við hata allt svo mikið og vildi vildi fá slæmt tilfelli af Ivy eitur.

Ég valdi Windows Live Spaces aftur í júlí 2007 as my blogging platform. For the most part, Ég hef ekki allir afþökkun og Microsoft vissulega nær það yfir tíma (þó mér finnist aðallega út um nýjar aðgerðir við slys).

My biggest complaint right now is blog spam. This person / reikningur (http://cid-82b0534bceed9881.profile.live.com/) (meðal annarra) 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 (whereas before, I had to go into each blog entry separately) and clean them up. It’s still time consuming.

I wish that:

1. MSFT would put some better filtering for spam.
2. That I could block specific people from adding comments.
3. Failing the above, I could more easily identify and delete spam. Right now, I need to do it comment by comment and it’s slow, especially when some spam robot person/program adds 25 að 50 comments in one session.

If you’re a windows live user and have some useful tricks to share, I’d be grateful.

This past summer, while I was working on two chapters for the best SharePoint social computing book ever, 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 unread items, it just says, "1000 ".

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been sitting down and systematically reading them and tagging them as I go for future reference (I use Delicious.com).

This past weekend I watched all of Lost, season four in a couple of sittings and catching up on 1000+ blog entries feels the same way.

Þeir draga mig aftur í!

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, þó, að ég fá mun meira spam athugasemdir en ég fæ alvöru athugasemdir og ég var bara að hugsa í síðustu viku eða svo að ég var að fara að slökkva á athugasemdir.

Hins, í dag, Ég fann tvær framúrskarandi athugasemdir til að bregðast við þessa færslu (um takmarkaðan aðgang) og þessa færslu (að takmarka leit við skjöl, öfugt við möppur). Those comments are so complementary (í því sem þeir bæta mikið gildi við innleggin mín), I can’t see disabling comments and thereby closing off that avenue of useful information. Svo, Ég hef sagði mér að vera manneskja ruslpóst grípari / cleaner. Live spaces does provide a pretty decent way to clean up comments, en hver vill eyða tíma að gera það?

My EMC samstarfsmaður, Erik Swenson, hefur verið sannfært að hoppa í áflog, stand up and be counted 🙂

He blogs about about a wide variety of SharePoint branding topics at http://erikswenson.blogspot.com/. Some of his recent posts include interesting stuff about Photoshop, Microsoft Office Live fyrir lítil fyrirtæki, SharePoint Stjórnskipulag, 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.

His RSS feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/SharepointBrandingDesign

Check it out and give him a little encouragement. We all need that from time to time, especially when we first really dive into this blogging world.

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.

Það er alvöru samfélag byggir á þann hátt að í raun viðbót blogg og ráðstefnur og jafnvel persónulega augliti til auglitis fundum.

Í síðasta mánuði, Ég hef fylgt tilraunir ein manneskja er að hrista kvef á meðan að reyna að stjórna Seder.

I’ve learned personal detail about many folks I mainly "know" í gegnum blogg — þar sem þeir búa, hvers konar verkefnum sem þeir vinna, að þeir hafa vinnu / fjölskyldu mál að stjórna bara eins og mig.

Móðir ein manneskja er lést … a sad event for sure. But sharing that fact changes and enhances the character of the whole experience.

Það er bara persónulegt efni.

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

Ef þú hefur ekki reynt það, you should really give it a go.

Því miður, Ég hreinsa út Gmail reikningnum mínum tíma áður en þú skráir þig, svo það var ekki að finna neinn þegar hún leitaði að tengiliðum.

Ef þú ert að nota Twitter, láttu mig vita og ég gjarna tengjast.

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- Janúar 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, o.fl., 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 og þá. I’m also trying to publish a "Sunnudagur Fyndið" 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, either as a host or a guest 🙂

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", decent web storage and so forth.

Hins, 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.

Fyrsta, 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 (or especially fail to find) when they search my blog. It’s very hard to use lives spaces for that.

Annað, there does not seem to be any mechanism to "monetize" a windows live space blog. Í raun, in order to get rid of MS ads (from which I derive no benefit), I need to actually pay Microsoft. (At least, that’s how I understand it; I have been unable to get definitive answers to this and questions like it).

Now that I’ve got an established pattern and set of blogging habits, I want to evaluate other options. I’ve done some research and there are a lot of choices, but I’m curious as to what other people, particularly others in the SharePoint community (as bloggers or readers), like to use.

If this subject interests you and you have an opinion or are willing to share your experience, please leave a comment or email me directly.

Takk!
