Hey people, don't fight for this ;) {{ teacher-mode }} Just think human behavior, be pragmatic and just paste human actions on your technical architecture... What do you want the user do? 1) click on a button in order to create/write a new Blog entry/post 2) write something in it 3) click on another button to post/publish the new Entry/post on the Blog So just propose these actions and try to find a sentence to represent it in English with popular words and lets see how it sounds on a real blod. If users are not happy with the sentence, you will change it. Moreover, I would say that in each language, it will be translated differently with something not like entry or post... So don't need to spend time on this... Create a new entry Create a new post Write a new post etc... Post it Publish it etc... Whatever :) {{ teacher-mode }} regards Pascal On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 9:13 AM, Ecaterina Valica <[email protected]> wrote:

"Publish a new entry" ???
So, let's compare "Create blog entry" and "Write a new blog post".
Your proposal make me see a "Create blog entry" button in some menu, then a "Create" button in the creation form. I'd prefer to see a "Write a new blog post" button and then a "Publish" button, this seems more "humane" to me.
I don't understand why you don't agree to this option: "Create blog entry" -> "Publish"
All this actions: "*Create*" | "Write" | "Add" | "Make", "*Publish*" | "Post" ..., "*View*", "*Edit*" | "Modify" ..., "*Delete*" | "Erase" | "Trash" ..., "*Comment*" can be applied to either "entry" or "post".

*Post: *Computers: a) message that is sent to a newsgroup; b) text that is placed on a Web site.
*Entry: *(syn: submission) something (manuscripts or architectural plans and models or estimates or works of art of all genres etc.) submitted for the judgment of others (as in a competition); "several of his submissions were rejected by publishers"; "what was the date of submission of your proposal?"
"Post" seems to be more popular because it's used by Blogger, etc. but I would prefer "entry". _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
