博客首页是输出全文，摘要还是标题？
by blogsir
在首页输出标题的弊端是读者得点一下才能看到具体的内容。但我想，在在首页输出全文，虽然读者不用点击就可以看到内容，但如果想添加评论的话，一样要点击一下；在首页输出摘要，同样也要点击一下才能看到全文。在同样的情况下，还是输出标题为最优选项。

Blog之原罪 三章
by blogsir
首先，Blogger还是要多了多了解一些作为Blogger所应该知道的事情：
- Blog是Blogger个人的内容发布平台，它代表着你在网络上的个人形象；
- Blog的浏览量中有大量来自搜索引擎，其中很大一部分不是你的内容真正的读者；
- 没有一个Blog订阅数的统计服务，能精确的呈现你的读者数量；
- 浏览量的多少和这个Blog的好坏或者影响力的大小，没有直接关系；
- 你可以用Blog来赚钱，但不要把Blog当作一个只用来赚钱的工具；
- CPM或者CPA计费方式的在线广告并不是利用Blog获得收入的最佳方式。
所以，作一个好的Blogger所需要作的只是：
- 选择一个可靠的Blog服务商或者Blog发布系统；
- 认真书写每一个Blog Post的内容；
- 保持个人的观点和风格；
- 保持写作的热情和勤奋；
- 关注你的读者，关注和你相关的其它Blogger。
