[xwiki-users] Feedback needed: Blog terminology
Hi users, We can't get a consensus between the developers, so we need your opinion about this (as fast as possible): What is the best term: 1. blog post 2. blog entry 3. blog article Thank you. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
I hear #1 and #2 consistently. I have not heard #3 before. It's hard to chose between the first two though. Maybe #1 is best, but only because the "post" indicates the action of uploading to a website. "Entry" is probably somewhat antiquated because it suggests writing thoughts out in longhand.

I would prefer #2 blog entry. You don't write in your blog only articles. "Blog post" is also used, but entry is more general. On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 10:10 PM, Nick Watts <[email protected]> wrote:

I hear the term 'post' most frequently, and it has more of a meaning related to a 'blog' an an 'entry' which could be an 'entry' to anything. 'Post' also has some connotation with internet technology, like 'posting' on a forum, or on a bulliten. 'Entry' is not specific to internet technology. That's my two cents! Hope it helps.

I vote for "Blog Post" -- posting is common terminology for this action. Entry is very generic and is missing the connotations associated with "post." Article makes me think of something long and meaningful, which isn't necessarily a requirement for a blog post.

Therefore, in the "google popular election," please note that "blog entry" gets the most votes. This is despite claims by "blog article" that "blog entry" pals around with linguists and once performed acts of declension. Niels http://nielsmayer.com
