Blog Writer Analysis
 
28 July 2008 | 08:51pm by dhillon

Recently, I was given task to analyze all the available blog writers, and choose one that is appropriate for our users. So, I want to share with you all my findings. Let’s start one by one. The first question that came to my mind was why what actually is a blog writer for. Yeah, the answer is, we can’t be connected to Internet all the time. There are times when we are traveling, not connected to wires or web, so this software will help us to blog even off the Internet from our desk. Our thought will not be wasted, and we can stay connected anywhere, everywhere. A good blogger must have an easy to write interface, all features supporting extreme blogging and besides all this it needs to be user friendly. So, let’s see do we have a perfect match to our requirements.

I can type, insert image with just paste key, and even add new category to my blog for posting without actually going there, what else I need. Ok, somebody told me I cannot insert tables in it by paste key, but my findings are different. Select the tables you want to insert, than come to the live editor, right click and select the option ‘special paste’ than check the ‘keep formatting’ option and that’s it. Your table will be pasted. From all the writers we just explored, I think I would give Windows Live Writer the best ratings.

maintenance Most of my customers are not familiar with the difference between the concept of maintenance, hosting and change requests. Hosting refers to the storing of the application on a server.

Maintenance refers to the corrective action taken should unexpected events cause the application to fail. It is like insurance in the commercial world. It ensures that some one is there to service your application should it, as the saying goes, kick the bucket.

Change requests on the other hand refers to feature enhancement of the application. In today’s competitive business landscape, it is natural to issue continuous change requests and upgrades to ensure that your web application is effective.

Don’t Leave your Email Address in the Contact Us Page

harvester Recently, one of our clients complained about receiving a large amounts of unwanted mails (SPAMS). After some preliminary checking, we realised that our client has, against our advise, put his email address back on to his contact us page.

This is one of the things that we should NEVER do unless we are prepared for the onslaught of unregistered mails.

Out in the internet, professional spammers actually run spiders that crawl through each and every webpage to extract out email addresses to run their email campaigns from Viagra to Nigerian Scams to Imitation Watches.

To protect our email addresses from being illegally harvested, we should never leave it on the contact us page. Instead, we should encourage our customers to contact us directly through the contact us form.
