Blogger入门

Blogger.com 是 Pyra Labs 公司创建的面向个人的基于因特网的网志书写和发布服务网站，也是全球最大、最为知名的个人网志服务提供商。Pyra Labs 和 Blogger.com 目前已经被Google公司收购，成为其旗下的一项服务内容。 Blogger服务使得网路日志的发布更加容易。Blogger 提供免费主机 Blogspot.com 存放网志，用户不必写任何代码或者安装伺服器软体或脚本，通过WYSIWYG界面轻松地建立、发布、维护和修改自己的网志。但Blogger也允许有经验 的用户自由地设计网志界面，并在在线帮助页面提供了详细的资料和指南。 Blogger 与其他的博客提供的显著优势在于有强大的模版编辑功能，对于HTML及CSS的高手Blogger无疑是最好的选择，模版完全支持HTML编辑，你可以把 Blogger打造成一个专业的站点，而Blogger就好像空间提供商，而这个服务是非常稳定的。 另外，使用Blogger你可以注册一个Google AdSense帐号，然后就可以在您的个人网志上投放Google的广告，从而营利。 历史 1999年8月三个朋友在互联网泡沫的大潮中创建了Blogger.com，它是全球第一批专用于网志发布的工具之一，被公认对 推广网志有重要贡献。而Blogger这个名词也随之成了最新的互联网时尚名词。具体来说，用户不用手动编写HTML帖子，并且 频繁上传新的帖子，而是通过提交一个Blogger网站上的表单来发布新的网志帖子。 2002年，Blogger网站的用户数达到了高峰，这项服务倍受网友好评。 2003年，搜索引擎巨头Google公司收购了Pyra Labs，包含Blogger网站。Google提供了Pyra需要的资源。此外，以前需要付费订购的一些高级功能在Google的帮助下全部可以免费使 用了。 2004年 Google 收购了 Picasa，并将其相片分享功能并入 Blogger。同年5月9日，在和网页设计公司Adaptive Path以及Stopdesign的合作下，Blogger重新启动了一个全新的模板设计，增加的特点包括兼容CSS标准的模板，单独的帖子和评论的归档 页，以及使用电子邮件来发布网志等功能。 2006年8月15日，Google 推出了Blogger Beta，增加了不少新的功能，作了大量的改进。比起旧版本，新版本增加了例如标签、所见所得的模板更改器等新功能。如需使用这个版本，用户需要注册一个 Google帐号以供登入。旧的Blogger可以直接转换到beta版，beta版还提供了添加多种页面元素的功 能，Google Adsense也被当作标签，系统自动会匹配多种适合你的网站模版的广告，方便用户的添加。HTML及JavaScript是其中一种页面元素，你可以添 加任何其他的代码，比如可以将多种Widget嵌入Blogger中，丰富了网站的内容。或者是你的个人Blogger的RSS 或Atom的订阅功能代码，可以从FeedBurner得到。也可以通过Google API嵌入一些Google的产品，例如 Google Earth 。 2006年12月，Blogger 离开了beta。2007年5月，Blogger 完全转移到 Google 的伺服器。 2010年 Blogger 提供的免费主机 Blogspot.com 在50大重要性的网域名中排名第4。 服务 Blogger默认把用户的网志发布到免费提供的 Blogspot.com 主机上。2010年5月1日之前，Blogger也支持把内容发布到用户选择的伺服器上（通过FTP或SFTP），这项功能可以被绝大多数网页服务器所支 持。 当前Blogger已经推出了完整的中文界面，具有成熟的中文网志书写和发布功能。 扩展与相关软件 BlogThis! Google在其Google Toolbar中增加了一个名为BlogThis! 的新功能，增加了一个连结，使得本来不被支持的电脑也可以使用BlogThis!工具。BlogThis工具允许在访问一个站点时打开一个弹出式视窗，显 示一个可以不登录Blogger中央网站就可以直接发布网志的表单，并且保持正在访问的网站也处于打开状态。 从Word发布Blogger 2005年8月16日，Google发表了官方的免费外挂程式Blogger for Word。这个外挂软件会在微软文字处理软件Microsoft Word的主界面中增加一个工具栏，用户可以直接在Word中编辑文字，并立刻发布到Blogger上，所以线上和离线同样都可以编辑文章。此外挂还允许 用户把网络上已经发布的帖子备份到本机上编辑修改。不过遗憾的是，这款插件不支持图片编辑功能，且只能安装到Word 2000以上版本的Word软件中。 从电子邮件发布Blogger 如果你登录Blogger比较麻烦，或者无法登录，你可以通过电子邮件来发布到Blogger，如果你的邮件是支持多文本编辑， 效果会更好。方法是在Blogger 中的设置-->电子邮件-->mail to blogger中填写一个个性化的好记的名字，以后你可以直接给这个完整的邮件地址写信就可以立即发布到Blogger了。 从Google文件发布Blogger 现在Google官方推出的Google文件已经支持发布到Blogger，用户可以在Google文件中先编辑好你要写的内 容，支持html编辑和所见即所得编辑，多种图片和视频。如果Blogger帐户中有多个博客，系统首次会让用户设置，让用户选 择发布到哪一个博客。 不过目前发布的时候，Google文件设置的文章标题和标签不会自动发布到Blogger.com，需要在 Blogger.com中自己再次修改。对于用FeedBurner烧制的Feed来说，可能会产生2条文章，一个没有标题，一 个有标题。 Picasa 在2004年，Google公司收购了Picasa（图像软体制作商）和它的相片分享工具Hello。后者与Gmail、 Blogger可以集成，允许用户张贴相片到他们的网志。这样，Blogger和hello的集成使得图像网志的发布变得非常方 便。 Firefox Mozilla基金会推出的免费网络浏览器Firefox为所有Blogger公司内部职员使用。而Blogger也鼓励其用 户，特别是AOL用户，切换到Mozilla Firefox来获得最好的Blogger使用体验。 除了因为Firefox本身是一款优秀的开放源代码软件之外，还因为Firefox支持网友自行开发的各种插件。通过这些插件， 用户可以方便地在浏览的同时，把各种感兴趣的内容直接写成网络日志，发布到blogger.com上。 被防火长城屏蔽     * 中国政府对于海外大部分的博客服务一直实行封锁的措施，所以Blogger也不例外。从2006年至2008年，Blogger的 blogspot.com域名长期处于封锁状态，只有偶然间短暂解封。     * 2008年8月，奥运会在北京召开。因应国际奥委会的要求，中国政府开放了大部分的海外热门网站，Blogger也随之解封并且在很长一段时间内都可以访 问。     * 2009年5月14日，中国再次封锁Blogger。较以往不同，本次连Blogger的根域名Blogger.com也被列入封锁。一般情况下，中国用 户目前只能使用邮件以及Google文档来发布文章。     * 2010年4月4日，中国部分地区解除封锁。     * 在此后的不久后中国再次进行封锁，至今仍处于被防火长城封锁的状态。而防火长城对于Blogger的封锁方式是：           o 对于主域名blogger.com采取的是域名关键词过滤重置连接的方法，但因为blogger.com可以提供SSL加密连接访问，故在中国大陆境内的 用户可以通过加密连接的方法正常访问Blogger的主域名。           o 对于Blog的实际地址blogspot.com也是采取关键词过滤的方法，但因为blogspot.com没有提供加密连接的访问方法，故在中国大陆境 内的用户已经无法正常访问Blog的实际地址。 资料来源    1. ^ The Story of Blogger, Blogger.com    2. ^ blogger.com - Traffic Details from Alexa.

Blogger Blogger is a blog-publishing service that allows private or multi-user blogs with time-stamped entries. It was created by Pyra Labs, which was bought by Google in 2003. Generally, the blogs are hosted by Google at subdomain of blogspot.com. Up until May 1, 2010 Blogger allowed users to publish blogs on other hosts, via FTP. All such blogs had (or still have) to be moved to Google's own servers, with domains other than blogspot.com allowed via Custom URLs. History On August 23, 1999, Blogger was launched by Pyra Labs. As one of the earliest dedicated blog-publishing tools, it is credited for helping popularize the format. In February 2003, Pyra Labs was acquired by Google under undisclosed terms. The acquisition allowed premium features (for which Pyra had charged) to become free. In October 2004, Pyra Labs' co-founder, Evan Williams, left Google. In 2004, Google purchased Picasa; it integrated Picasa and its photo sharing utility Hello into Blogger, allowing users to post photos to their blogs. On May 9, 2004, Blogger introduced a major redesign, adding features such as web standards-compliant templates, individual archive pages for posts, comments, and posting by email. On August 14, 2006, Blogger launched its latest version in beta, codenamed "Invader", alongside the gold release. This migrated users to Google servers and included some new features. In December 2006, this new version of Blogger was taken out of beta. By May 2007, Blogger had completely moved over to Google operated servers. Blogger was ranked 16 on the list of top 50 domains in terms of number of unique visitors in 2007. Redesign As part of the Blogger redesign in 2006, all blogs associated with a user's Google Account were migrated to Google servers. Blogger claims that the service is now more reliable because of the quality of the servers. Along with the migration to Google servers, several new features were introduced, including label organization, a drag-and-drop template editing interface, reading permissions (to create private blogs) and new Web feed options. Furthermore, blogs are updated dynamically, as opposed to rewriting HTML files. In a version of the service called Blogger in Draft, new features are tested before being released to all users. New features are discussed in the service's official blog. In September 2009, Google introduced new features into Blogger as part of its tenth anniversary celebration. The features included a new interface for post editing, improved image handling, Raw HTML Conversion, and other Google Docs-based implementations, including:     * Adding location to posts via geotagging.     * Post time-stamping at publication, not at original creation.     * Vertical re-sizing of the post editor. The size is saved in a per-user, per-blog preference.     * Link editing in Compose mode.     * Full Safari 3 support and fidelity on both Windows and Mac OS.     * New Preview dialog that shows posts in a width and font size approximating what is seen in the published view.     * Placeholder image for tags so that embeds are movable in Compose mode.     * New toolbar with Google aesthetics, faster loading time, and "undo" and "redo" buttons. Also added was the full justification button, a strike-through button, and an expanded color palette. In 2010, Blogger introduced new templates and redesigned its website. The new post editor was criticized for being less reliable than its predecessor. Integration     * The Google Toolbar has a feature called "BlogThis!" which allows toolbar users with Blogger accounts to post links directly to their blogs.     * "Blogger for Word" is an add-in for Microsoft Word which allows users to save a Microsoft Word Document directly to a Blogger blog, as well as edit their posts both on- and offline. As of January 2007, Google says "Blogger for Word is not currently compatible with the new version of Blogger", and they state no decision has been made about supporting it with the new Blogger. However, Microsoft Office 2007 adds native support for a variety of blogging systems, including Blogger.     * Blogger supports Google's AdSense service as a way of generating revenue from running a blog.     * Blogger also started integration of Amazon Associates as a service to generate revenue.     * Blogger offers multiple author support, making it possible to establish group blogs.     * Blogger offers a template editing feature, which allows users to customize the Blogger template.     * Google Docs has direct publishing integration to Blogger.     * Windows Live Writer, a standalone app of the Windows Live suite, publishes directly to Blogger. Blocking Blogger has been blocked for periods of time in the following countries:     * Fiji     * People's Republic of China     * Iran     * Pakistan     * Syrian Arab Republic     * Myanmar     * Kazakhstan     * Cuba Blocking of *.blogspot.com domains by keyword-based Internet filtering systems is also encountered due to the domain containing the substring "gspot". Limitations Blogger has imposed the following limitations on content storage and bandwidth, per user account:     * Number of blogs = Unlimited     * Size of pages = Individual pages (the main page of a blog or archive pages) are limited to 1 MB     * Number of labels = 5,000 unique labels per blog, 20 unique labels per post     * Number of pictures (hyperlinked from user's Picasa Web Album) = Up to 1 GB of free storage     * Size of pictures = If posted via Blogger Mobile, limited 250 KB per picture; posted pictures are scaled to 800px     * Team members (those that can write to a blog) = 100 On February 18, 2010, Blogger introduced "auto-pagination", which limited the number of posts that could be displayed on each page, often causing the number of posts on the main page to be less than that specified by the user and leading to a hostile response from some users.
