JOURNEY SO FAR
The world is growing with ultimate weapon called the internet!
Internet has remained the number one and foremost instrument, when it
comes to world wide communication: internet has made every sphere of
contact easy and assessable both online and offline.
Internet has really connected thousands of individuals, family, business
with others activities around the world. Internet will continue to remain
one of the foremost tools.
With the birth of the internet our lives have been changed so much. To
instantly know just anything you can log on to the internet and the
answer is right in front of you. The writing of letters changed to writing
of e-mails, talking over the phone gave you an option of chat on the net
etc. All in all internets has totally revolutionized everyone’s life. Before
when one uses to write letters now people have started using net which
not only saves time but they can get instant replies too. In the same
manner there is chat option available making easier for you to actually
talk to people via internet and get on the spot reply.
Sending an e-mail may still be time taking because the reply might not
come at the same time. But while on a chat you get immediate reply.
Chatting can happen between two people and also there is an option of a
group chat where at a time two or more people can chat and for this you
don’t have to pay extra a simple internet connection can help you in
doing so.
Today, Seunsmith Networks Innovation in its quest, want to build new
platform for more opportunities and initiatives to help its society and
human development capacity to achieve more in its environment.

INTRODUCTION TO INTERNET

By the turn of the century, information, including access to the Internet, will be
the basis for personal, economic, and political advancement.
The popular name for the Internet is the information superhighway.
No one owns Internet, although several organizations the world over
collaborate in its functioning and development. The high-speed, fiber-optic
cables (called backbones) through which the bulk of the Internet data travels
are owned by telephone companies in their respective countries.
The Internet supplements the traditional tools you use to gather information,
Data Graphics, News and correspond with other people. Used skillfully, the
Internet shrinks the world and brings information, expertise, and knowledge
on nearly every subject imaginable straight to your computer.
The Internet grew out of the Advanced Research Projects Agency's Wide Area
Network (then called ARPANET) established by the US Department Of
Defense in 1960s for collaboration in military research among business and
government laboratories. Later universities and other US institutions
connected to it. This resulted in ARPANET growing beyond everyone's
expectations and acquiring the name 'Internet.' The development of hypertext
based technology (called world wide web, WWW, or just the Web) provided
means of displaying text, graphics, and animations, and easy search and
navigation tools that triggered Internet's explosive worldwide growth.

1.1

WHAT IS INTERNET?

The Internet is a world wide network of computers that are connected
(networked) and are using the communication method called TCP/IP. The
Internet was named ARPANET in 1969 by the Advanced Research Projects
Agency of the U.S. Department of Defense with just four computers connected
together.
Internet can also be described as a means of connecting a computer to any
other computer anywhere in the world via dedicated routers and servers.
When two computers are connected over the Internet, they can send and
receive all kinds of information such as text, graphics, voice, video, and
computer programs.



1.2

INTERNET TERMINOLOGY

1.2.1 The Web vs. the Internet
The Internet is a vast 'interconnection of computer networks' that spans the
globe. It is comprised of millions of computing devices that trade volumes of
information. Desktop computers, mainframes, GPS units, cell phones, car
alarms, video game consoles, and even soda pop machines are connected to
the Net.
The Internet started in the late 1960's as an American military project, and has
since evolved into a massive public spiderweb. No single organization owns or
controls the Internet. The Net has grown into a spectacular mishmash of nonprofit, private sector, government, and entrepreneurial broadcasters.
The Internet houses many layers of information, with each layer dedicated to a
different kind of documentation. These different layers are called 'protocols'.
The most popular protocols are the World Wide Web, FTP, Telnet,
Gopherspace, instant messaging, and email.
The World Wide Web, or 'Web' for short, is the most popular portion of the
Internet. The Web is viewed through web browser software.
1.2.2 Http and Https
Http is a technical acronym that means 'hypertext transfer protocol', the
language of web pages. When a web page has this prefix, then your links, text,
and pictures should work in your web browser.
Https is 'hypertext transfer protocol SECURED'. This means that the web page
has a special layer of encryption added to hide your personal information and
passwords. Whenever you log into your online bank or your web email
account, you should see https at the front of the page address.
:// is the strange expression for 'this is a computer protocol'. We add these 3
characters in a Web address to denote which set of computer language rules
affect the document you are viewing.
1.2.3 Browser
A browser is a free software package that lets you view web pages, graphics,
and most online content. Browser software is specifically designed to convert
HTML and XML into readable documents.
The most popular web browsers in 2013 are: Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet
Explorer, and Safari.
1.2.4 HTML and XML
Hypertext Markup Language is a coding language used to tell a browser how
to place pictures, text, multimedia and links to create a web page. When a user
clicks on a link within a web page, that link, which is coded with HTML, links


the user to a specific linked web page. HTML uses commands called 'HTML
tags' that look like the following:
 <head>;
 <title>;
 <body></body>
1.2.5 URL
Uniform Resource Locator is a web address used to connect to a remote
resource on the World Wide Web.
For example:
 http://www.comentum.com
 ftp://ftp.comentum.com
 telnet://info.comentum.com
In the above example, http:// is a type of Protocol (communication rules and
methods) followed by www.commentum.com, which a host address. A port
number could also be added after the host address (example:
http://www.comentum.com:80).
1.2.6 IP Address
Your computer's 'internet protocol' address is a four-part or eight-part
electronic serial number. An IP address can look something like '202.3.104.55'
or like '21DA:D3:0:2F3B:2AA:FF:FE28:9C5A', complete with dot or colon
separators. Every computer, cell phone, and device that accesses the Internet is
assigned at least one IP address for tracking purposes. Wherever you browse,
whenever you send an email or instant message, and whenever you download
a file, your IP address acts like a type of automobile license plate to enforce
accountability and traceability.
1.2.7 Email
Email (formerly spelled e-mail with a hyphen) is electronic mail. It is the
sending and receiving of typewritten messages from one screen to another.
Email is usually handled by a webmail service (e.g. Gmail or Yahoomail), or an
installed software package (e.g. Microsoft Outlook).
Email has many cousins: text messaging, instant messaging, live chat,
videomail (v-mail), Google Waving.
1.2.8 Blogs and Blogging
A blog ('web log') is a modern online writer's column. Amateur and
professional writers publish their blogs on most every kind of topic: their
hobby interest in paintball and tennis, their opinions on health care, their
commentaries on celebrity gossip, photo blogs of favorite pictures, tech tips on
using Microsoft Office. Absolutely anyone can start a blog, and some people
actually make reasonable incomes by selling advertising on their blog pages.


Web logs are usually arranged chronologically, and with less formality than a
full website. Blogs vary in quality from very amateurish to very professional.
It costs nothing to start your own personal blog.
1.2.9
Social Media and Social Bookmarking
Social media is the broad term for any online tool that enables users to interact
with thousands of other users. Instant messaging and chatting are
common forms of social media, as are blogs with comments, discussion
forums, video-sharing and photo-sharing websites. Facebook.com and
MySpace.com are very large social media sites, as are YouTube.com and
Digg.com.
Social bookmarking is the specific form of social media. Social bookmarking is
where users interact by recommending websites to each other ('tagging sites').
1.2.10.
ISP
ISP is Internet Service Provider. That is the private company or government
organization that plugs you into the vast Internet around the world. Your ISP
will offer varying services for varying prices: web page access, email, hosting
your own web page, hosting your own blog, and so on. ISP's will also offer
various Internet connection speeds for a monthly fee. (e.g. ultra high speed
Internet vs economy Internet).
Today, you will also hear about WISP's, which are Wireless Internet Service
Providers. They cater to laptop users who travel regularly.
1.2.11.
Download
Downloading is a broad term that describes when you make a personal copy
of something you find on the Internet or World Wide Web. Commonly,
downloading is associated with songs, music, and software files (e.g. "I want
to download a new musical ringtone for my cell phone", "I want to download a
trial copy of Microsoft Office 2010"). The larger the file you are copying, the
longer the download will take to transfer to your computer. Some downloads
will take 12 to 15 hours, depending on your Internet speed.
Be warned: downloading itself is fully legal, as long as you are careful not to
download pirated movies and music.
1.2.12.
Malware
Malware is the broad term to describe any malicious software designed by
hackers. Malware includes: viruses, trojans, ratware, keyloggers, zombie
programs, and any other software that seeks to do one of four things:
1. vandalize your computer in some way
2. steal your private information
3. take remote control of your computer ('zombie' your computer) for other
ends


4. manipulate you into purchasing something
1.2.13
Router (aka 'Network Router')
A router, or in many cases, a router-modem combination, is the hardware
device that acts as the traffic cop for network signals into your home. A router
can be wired or wireless or both. Your router provides both a defense against
hackers, and the redirection service of deciding which specific computer or
printer should get which signals in your home. If your router or router-modem
is configured correctly, your Internet speed will be fast, and hackers will be
locked out. If your router is poorly configured, you will experience network
sluggishness and possible hacker intrusions.
1.2.14
Keywords and Tags/Labels
Keywords are search terms used to locate documents. Keywords are anywhere
from one to five words long, separated by spaces or commas: e.g. "horseback
riding calgary" e.g. "ipad purchasing advice"
e.g. "ebay tips
selling". Keywords are the foundation for cataloging the Web, and the primary
means by which you and I will find anything on the Web.
Tags (sometimes called 'labels') are recommendation keywords. Tags and
labels focus on crosslinking you to related content... they are the modern
evolution of 'suggestions for further reading'.
1.2.15
Texting/Chatting
Texting is the short way to say 'text messaging', the sending of short electronic
notes usually from a cell phone or handheld electronic device. Texting is
popular with people who are mobile and away from their desk computers.
Texting is something like the pagers of old, but has the file attachment ability
of email.
To send a text message, you will usually need a keyboard-enabled cellphone
and a text message service through your cellphone provider. You address
your text messages using the recipient's phone number.
In 2010, texting has spawned a controversial habit called 'sexting', which is
when young people send sexual photos of themselves to other cell phone
users.
1.2.16 I.M;
I.M. (usually spelled 'IM' without the periods) is instant messaging, a form of
modern online chatting. IM is somewhat like texting, somewhat like email,
and very much like sending notes in a classroom. IM uses specialized no-cost
software that you install on your computer. That IM software in turn connects
you to potentially thousands of other IM users through the Internet. You


locate existing friends and make new friends by searching for their IM
nicknames.
Once the software and your friends list is in place, you can send instantaneous
short messages to each other, with the option of including file attachments and
links. While the recipient sees your message instantly, they can choose to
reply at their leisure.
1.2.17 P2P
P2P file sharing ('peer-to-peer') is the most voluminous Internet activity today.
P2P is the cooperative trading of files amongst thousands of individual users.
P2P participants install special software on their computers, and then
voluntarily share their music, movies, eBooks, and software files with each
other.
Through 'uploading' and 'downloading', users trade files that are anywhere
from 1 megabyte to 5 gigabytes large. This activity, while in itself a fully legal
pastime, is very controversial because thousands of copyrighted songs and
movies trade hands through P2P.
1.2.18
E-commerce
E-commerce is 'electronic commerce': the transacting of business selling and
buying online. Every day, billions of dollars exchange hands through the
Internet and World Wide Web. Sometimes, the e-commerce is your company
buying office products from another company (business-to-business 'B2B' ecommerce). Sometimes, the e-ecommerce is when you make a private
purchase as a retail customer from an online vendor (business-to-consumer
'B2C' e-commerce).
E-commerce works because reasonable privacy can be assured through
technical means (e.g. https secure web pages), and because modern business
values the Internet as a transaction medium.
1.2.19
Bookmark
A bookmark (aka "favorite") is a marker that you can place on web pages and
files. You would bookmark something because:
1. You want to return to the page or file later
2. You want to recommend the page or file to someone else
Bookmarks/Favorites can be made using your right mouse click menu, or the
menus/toolbars at the top of your web browser. Bookmarks/Favorites can
also be made on your Mac or Windows computer files.



1.2.20 Social Engineering
Social engineering is the conman art of talking directly to people to trick them
into divulging passwords and their private information. All social engineering
attacks are some form of a masquerade or phishing attack, designed to
convince you that the attacker is trustworthy as a friend or as a legitimate
authority figure. The attacker might use an email, phone call, or even face-time
interview to deceive you. Common social engineering attacks include greeting
cards, bogus lottery winnings, stock investment scams, warnings from an
alleged banker that you've been hacked, credit card companies pretending to
protect you.
1.2.21
Phishing and Whaling
'Phishing' is what modern-day con men do to defraud you of your personal
accounts. Phishing is the use of convincing-looking emails and web pages to
lure you into typing your account numbers and passwords/PINs. Often in the
form of fake eBay web pages, fake PayPal warning messages, and fake bank
login screens, phishing attacks can be very convincing to anyone who is not
trained to watch for the subtle clues. As a rule, smart users distrust any email
link that says "you should login and confirm this".
1.2.22 Add-ons and Plug-in
Add-ons are custom software modifications. Users optionally install add-ons
to improve the power of their Web browsers or office software. Examples
include: a custom eBay toolbar for your Firefox browser, a new search feature
for your Outlook email. Most add-ons are free, and can be found and
downloaded from the Web.
Plug-in are a special kind of web browser add-on. Plug-in are essentially
required add-ons, if you wish to view very specialized web pages. Examples
include: Adobe Flash or Shockwave player, Microsoft Silverlight player,
Adobe Acrobat pdf reader.
1.2.23
Trojan
A Trojan is a special kind of hacker program that relies on the user to welcome
it and activate it. Named after the famous Trojan horse tale, a trojan program
masquerades as a legitimate file or software program. Sometimes it will be an
innocent-looking movie file, or an installer that pretends to be actual antihacker software. The power of the Trojan attack comes from users naively
downloading and running the Trojan file.
1.2.24 Spamming and Filtering
'Spam' has two meanings. 1) Spam can mean 'the rapid repetition of a
keyboard command'. But more commonly, 2) spam is the jargon name of
'unwanted/unsolicited email'. Spam email is usually comprised of two sub17 ©Seunsmith Networks Innovation 2013


categories: high-volume advertising, and hackers attempting to lure you into
divulging your passwords.
Filtering is the popular-but-imperfect defense against spam. Filtering uses
software that reads your incoming email for keyword combinations, and
then either deletes or quarantines messages that appear to be spam. Look for a
'spam' or 'junk' folder in your mailbox to see your quarantine of filtered email.
1.2.25 Cloud Computing and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Cloud computing is a fancy term to describe that your software is online and
'borrowed', instead of purchased and actually installed on your computer.
Web-based email is the most prevalent example of cloud computing: the users'
email is all stored and accessed 'in the cloud' of the Internet, and not actually
on their own computers. This is the modern version of the 1970's mainframe
computing model. As part of the cloud computing model, 'Software as a
Service' is the business model that claims people would rather rent software
than actually own it. With their web browsers, users access the cloud of the
Internet, and log into their online rented copies of their SaaS software.
1.2.26 Apps and Applets
Apps and applets are small software applications. They are designed to be
much smaller than regular computer software, but still provide very useful
functions. Lately, apps are very popular with cellphone and mobile platforms;
specifically: with the Apple iPhone and the Google Android phone.
Examples of apps: rangefinder GPS for golfing, song identification software,
restaurant reviews, pocket video games, language translators for traveling.
1.2.27 Encryption and Authentication
Encryption is the mathematical scrambling of data so that it is hidden from
eavesdroppers. Encryption uses complex math formulas ('ciphers') to turn
private data into meaningless gobbledygook that only trusted readers can
unscramble. Encryption is the basis for how we use the public Internet as a
pipeline to conduct trusted business, like online banking and online credit card
purchasing. On the provision that reliable encryption is in place, your banking
information and credit card numbers are kept private.
Authentication is directly related to encryption. Authentication is the complex
way that computer systems verify that you are who you say you are.
1.2.28 Ports and Port Forwarding
Network ports' are thousands of tiny electronic 'lanes' that comprise your
network connection. Every computer has 65,536 tiny ports, through which
Internetworking data travels in and out. By using port management tools like


a hardware router, users can control port access to better safeguard themselves
against hackers.
'Port forwarding' is the semi-complex technique of opening specific network
ports. You would port-forward to speed up your downloading and speed up
your online connections for gaming and teleconferencing.
1.2.29 Firewall
Firewall is a generic term to describe 'a barrier against destruction'. It comes
from the building term of a protective wall to prevent the spreading of
housefires or engine compartment fires. In the case of computing, 'firewall'
means to have software and/or hardware protecting you from hackers and
viruses.
Computing firewalls range from small antivirus software packages, to very
complex and expensive software + hardware solutions. All the many kinds of
computer firewalls offer some kind of safeguard against hackers vandalizing
or taking over your computer system.
1.2.30 Archives and Archiving
A computer 'archive' is one of two things: a compressed container of multiple
smaller data files, or a purposeful long-term storage of files that are not going
to be used often. In some cases, an archive can be both.
The act of 'archiving', similarly, is one of two things: to combine and squeeze
multiple files into a larger single file (for easier emailing); or, archiving is when
you will retire data and documents to be put into long-term storage (e.g. your
thousands of old emails in your inbox).

1.3

PURPOSE OF INTERNET

Inner Reasons for the Internet
We can account for the outer reasons, purpose, and utility of the Internet, but
what of the "inner" ones? Here are several:
 It allows people to focus on what is truly meaningful in life, as the more
mundane details can quickly be found there.
 It makes way for the spiritual life, as the mental knowledge is always at
hand.
 It enables every individual to fulfill his or her own individual potential.
 It enables humanity to fulfill its potential.
 It transcends income and social status.
 It enables the individual to think for himself -- beyond the view of the herd
-- and thus become a True Individual.
 It allows self-education; reflecting our deepest, soul interests.
 It allows for Human Unity through its collaborative capacity.










It reflects the fact that man is becoming more mental and rational. That he
is more open and amenable to the many side of an issue, which can be
found there.
It enables instantaneousness, overcoming space and time.
It opens up infinite possibilities for success, for new services, possibilities in
every field.
It gives all access to the infinite in all planes -- beginning with knowledge.
It combines many past technical functions (phone, TV, library, etc.) into
one.
It gives the profoundest of knowledge that will enable our more rapid
evolution.
It is the great unifier, equalizer, and vehicle for transcendence.

TYPES OF INTERNET BROWSER

Here are several internet browser used around the world today. The first
internet browser used many years back was internet explorer, but due to its
inability to access some website, also very slow internet users neglect the
usage.
Few year later, Mozilla Firefox took the Internet Explorer place, remain one
and widely used by the internet users. Likewise Google Chrome and Opera
Mini are also topping the internet user interest.

TOPIC TWO
2.1. WHAT IS AN INTERNET EMAIL
Internet Email can be described as an electronic mail, or e-mail, that stores
messages in an inbox. Technicians sometimes describe it as an electronic
equivalent to a regular mailbox.

 How Email Mailboxes Work
Email addresses contain the secrets on how email mailboxes work. They
usually look something like this: yourmailboxname@company.com.
Everything before the @ is the name of the mailbox. You name the mailbox
when you set up your email address. Everything after the @ refers to your
email service provider. Your email service provider has a server on which they
store data. This server is like a post office. Messages travel to this server over
the Internet in the form of electronic data. The messages use the name of your
service provider in the email address to locate the specific post office, or
server, you use. The company server stores all the email messages you get
from other people. Inside this "post office" are lots of separate post boxes, or
inboxes. All of your messages are stored in the specific box that has only your
name on it. When you go to your inbox on your computer, you ask the server
to show you everything that they've stored for you.

 Mailboxes and Aliases
An alias is another email address. It forwards everything in your original
email inbox to another inbox. This is useful if you've created multiple email
addresses but only want to log into one account to see all of your messages.

 Benefits
Although some providers charge for their email services because of all the
bells and whistles they include, many providers don't charge you anything. It
is environmentally friendly, since you don't need to use paper. It is much
faster than traditional mail and accessible from more locations than regular
mail. Lastly, email makes it very easy to conduct business online, since
companies can use your email address to confirm orders and transactions.

 Concerns
Crooks and businesspeople sometimes send out spam, or junk email messages,
which clutter your electronic mailbox. Some of these spam messages trick you
into giving out personal data, such as bank account information, which puts
you at risk for fraud and identity theft. Additionally, people who are
particularly tech savvy may be able to take advantage of technological
loopholes in order to access your messages if the server and your Internet
connection aren't protected properly.


2.2. HOW TO CREATE EMAIL FOR PERSONAL USE
There’re several site you can open email with, but the most popular and
recognize that can keep your email account activate are listed here as follow,
Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.
Website Logo 2.2.1

UPLOADING AND DOWNLOADING

"Uploading" and "downloading" are terms used to refer to types of electronic
data transfers. The difference between them is the direction in which the files
are being transferred. Files are considered to be uploaded when they are
transferred from a computer or other electronic device to a central server, and
downloading is when the files are transferred from a server to a smaller
peripheral unit, such as a computer, Smartphone or other device. These two
different types of transfers are often done via the Internet, such as when a file
is downloaded from a website. The transfer of data from one system or device
to a similar system or device, such as from a desktop computer to a laptop,
usually is not considered uploading or downloading.

4.2

WHAT IS UPLOADING?

Uploading is the transmission of a file from one computer system to another,
usually larger computer system. From a network user's point-of-view, to
upload a file is to send it to another computer that is set up to receive it.
The most common type of uploading is when a user uploads a digital file to an
Internet site. For example, a user might upload vacation photos to a social
networking website or a home video to a video sharing site. The uploaded files
are then stored on the website's servers and can be seen by anyone who has
Internet access and, if necessary, the right software for viewing it.

4.2.1

UPLOADING ON A WEBSITE

Other websites allow users to upload digital files for storage. This can allow
users to store more files or larger files than would be possible to store on their
own computer or device because of its limited storage capacity. Uploading
files to storage websites also allows other users or other devices to have access
to them. Permission to access the files can be granted to only certain people, or
the files could be made public for anyone to access.

4.2.2

UPLOADING ON LOCAL NETWORK SERVER

Another type of uploading also takes place within a closed computer system,
such as one within a single office building or one that connects a group of
businesses. These types of systems typically have servers to store information
that needs to be shared among multiple computers or devices. Digital files can
be uploaded from any computer or device that is connected to the system, and
then it can be downloaded or accessed by any other user in the system.

4.2.3

UPLOADING FILES AND IMAGES



4.3

WHAT IS DOWNLOADING?

This is described as the electronic files or information which are transferred
from a central system (server or internet) to a computer or device that is
connected to that system, it is considered downloading.
Files can be downloaded temporarily and then deleted after they have been
used once, or they can be downloaded on a more permanent basis and used
for a long period of time. For example, a funny video file might be
downloaded from the Internet and soon deleted after it has been watched, but
a helpful application might be downloaded and used for months or years.
Downloaded files are sometimes automatically stored in a particular location
on the computer or device, and they are automatically accessed from that
location when needed. An example of this is an application that is downloaded
to a Smartphone — the user typically cannot control where the app is stored
on the phone, it is simply stored where the phone stores all of its apps. In other
cases, the user can choose where the downloaded files will be stored. For
example, a laptop user might download a music file to a specific folder for
music or another type of file to the computer's desktop, where it can be found
quickly.

WHAT IS A BLOG?

"Blog" is an abbreviated version of "weblog," which is a term used to describe
web sites that maintain an ongoing chronicle of information. A blog features
diary-type commentary and links to articles on other Web sites, usually
presented as a list of entries in reverse chronological order. Blogs range from
the personal to the political, and can focus on one narrow subject or a whole
range of subjects.
Many blogs focus on a particular topic, such as web design, home staging,
sports, or mobile technology. Some are more eclectic, presenting links to all
types of other sites. And others are more like personal journals, presenting the
author's daily life and thoughts.
Generally speaking (although there are exceptions), blogs tend to have a few
things in common:

6.3

TYPES OF BLOG

1. WordPress: (http://wordpress.com) this one is number one for one main
reason, it does not have ads on your blog. You can set up
your layout, color scheme, theme and everything just the

your own sites, you can use the same software on their site
and save yourself all of the technical work. You do not
have to install anything, but you can if you choose to.
2. Blogger/BlogSpot (http://blogger.com) This one is one of most commonly
used blogs, linking to others is quite easy
and updating it is very user-friendly. You

people advertising on their blogs.
3. LiveJournal (http://livejournal.com) Not only is this a great blog, but it a
great tool for writers. There are
hundreds of groups set up designed to
let you join a writing challenge. For
anyone who is looking to have their
skills as a writer tested, this is the place
for you. Customizable theme, avatars, layouts and a few more things you
can get if you want to pay for them, but I did that a few years back, not
really worth the money.

thoughts, photos, videos with friends and family.

are viewed by your friends. If you want only friends and family to see this,
you have the option on Facebook.

THINGS BLOGGERS NEED TO KNOW

In addition to understanding how your specific blogging software works, such
as WordPress, there are some terms and concepts you need to know.
6.4.1
Archives
A blog is also a good way to keep track of articles on a site. A lot of blogs
feature an archive based on dates (like a monthly or yearly archive). The front
page of a blog may feature a calendar of dates linked to daily archives.
Archives can also be based on categories featuring all the articles related to a
specific category.
It does not stop there; you can also archive your posts by author or
alphabetically. The possibilities are endless. This ability to organize and
present articles in a composed fashion is much of what makes blogging a
popular personal publishing tool.
6.4.2
Feeds
A Feed is a function of special software that allows "Feedreaders" to access a
site automatically looking for new content and then post updates about that
new content to another site. This provides a way for users to keep up with the
latest and hottest information posted on different blogging sites. Some Feeds
include RSS (alternately defined as "Rich Site Summary" or "Really Simple
Syndication"), Atom or RDF files. Dave Shea, author of the web design weblog
Mezzoblue has written a comprehensive summary of feeds.
6.4.3
Blogrolls
A blogroll is a list, sometimes categorized, of links to webpages the author of a
blog finds worthwhile or interesting. The links in a blogroll are usually to
other blogs with similar interests. The blogroll is often in a "sidebar" on the
page or featured as a dedicated separate web page. WordPress has a built-in
Link Manager so users do not have to depend on a third party for creating and
managing their blogroll.



6.4.4
Syndication
A feed is a machine readable (usually XML) content publication that is
updated regularly. Many weblogs publish a feed (usually RSS, but also
possibly Atom and RDF and so on, as described above). There are tools out
there that call themselves "feedreaders". What they do is they keep checking
specified blogs to see if they have been updated, and when the blogs are
updated, they display the new post, and a link to it, with an excerpt (or the
whole contents) of the post. Each feed contains items that are published over
time. When checking a feed, the feedreader is actually looking for new items.
New items are automatically discovered and downloaded for you to read, so
you don't have to visit all the blogs you are interested in. All you have to do
with these feedreaders is to add the link to the RSS feed of all the blogs you are
interested in. The feedreader will then inform you when any of the blogs have
new posts in them. Most blogs have these "Syndication" feeds available for the
readers to use.
6.4.5
Managing Comments
One of the most exciting features of blogging tools are the comments. This
highly interactive feature allows users to comment upon article posts, link to
your posts, and comment on and recommend them. These are known as
trackbacks and pingbacks. We'll also discuss how to moderate and manage
comments and how to deal with the annoying trend in "comment spam", when
unwanted comments are posted to your blog.
