#Trackbacks in a WordPress blog

[blubberquark]

Are Game Blogs Uniquely Lost?

All this started with my looking for the old devlog of Storyteller. I know at some point it was linked from the blogroll on the Braid devlog. Then I tried to look at on old devlog of another game that is still available. The domain for Storyteller is still active. The devblog is gone.

I tried an old bookmark from an old PC (5 PCs ago, I think). It was a web site linked to pixel art and programming tutorials. Instead of linking to the pages directly, some links link led to a twitter threads by authors that collected their work posted on different sites. Some twitter threads are gone because the users were were suspended, or had deleted their accounts voluntarily. Others had deleted old tweets. There was no archive. I have often seen links accompanied by "Here's a thread where $AUTHOR lists all his writing on $TOPIC". I wonder if the sites are still there, and only the tweets are gone.

A lot of "games studies" around 2010 happened on blogs, not in journals. Games studies was online-first, HTML-first, with trackbacks, tags, RSS and comment sections. The work that was published in PDF form in journals and conference proceedings is still there. The blogs are gone. The comment sections are gone. Kill screen daily is gone.

I followed a link from critical-distance.com to a blog post. That blog is gone. The domain is for sale. In the Wayback Machine, I found the link. It pointed to the comment section of another blog. The other blog has removed its comment sections and excluded itself from the Wayback Machine.

I wonder if games stuff is uniquely lost. Many links to game reviews at big sites lead to "page not found", but when I search the game's name, I can find the review from back in 2004. The content is still there, the content management systems have been changed multiple times.

At least my favourite tumblr about game design has been saved in the Wayback Machine: Game Design Tips.

To make my point I could list more sites, more links, 404 but archived, or completely lost, but when I look at small sites, personal sites, blogs, or even forums, I wonder if this is just confirmation bias. There must be all this other content, all these other blogs and personal sites. I don't know about tutorials for knitting, travel blogs, stamp collecting, or recipe blogs. I usually save a print version of recipes to my Download folder.

Another big community is fan fiction. They are like modding, but for books, I think. I don't know if a lot of fan fiction is lost to bit rot and link rot either. What is on AO3 will probably endure, but a lot might have gone missing when communities fandom moved from livejournal to tumblr to twitter, or when blogs moved from Wordpress to Medium to Substack.

I have identified some risk factors:

Personal home pages made from static HTML can stay up for while if the owner meticulously catalogues and links to all their writing on other sites, and if the site covers a variety of interests and topics.

Personal blogs or content management systems are likely to lose content in a software upgrade or migration to a different host.

Writing is more likely to me lost when it's for-pay writing for a smaller for-profit outlet.

A cause for sudden "mass extinction" of content is the move between social networks, or the death of a whole platform. Links to MySpace, Google+, Diaspora, and LiveJournal give me mostly or entirely 404 pages.

In the gaming space, career changes or business closures often mean old content gets deleted. If an indie game is wildly successful, the intellectual property might ge acquired. If it flops, the domain will lapse. When development is finished, maybe the devlog is deleted. When somebody reviews games at first on Steam, then on a blog, and then for a big gaming mag, the Steam reviews might stay up, but the personal site is much more likely to get cleaned up. The same goes for blogging in general, and academia. The most stable kind of content is after hours hobbyist writing by somebody who has a stable and high-paying job outside of media, academia, or journalism.

The biggest risk factor for targeted deletion is controversy. Controversial, highly-discussed and disseminated posts are more likely to be deleted than purely informative ones, and their deletion is more likely to be noticed. If somebody starts a discussion, and then later there are hundreds of links all pointing back to the start, the deletion will hurt more and be more noticeable. The most at-risk posts are those that are supposed to be controversial within a small group, but go viral outside it, or the posts that are controversial within a small group, but then the author says something about politics that draws the attention of the Internet at large to their other writings.

The second biggest risk factor for deletion is probably usefulness combined with hosting costs. This could also be the streetlight effect at work, like in the paragraph above, but the more traffic something gets, the higher the hosting costs. Certain types of content are either hard to monetise, and cost a lot of money, or they can be monetised, so the free version is deliberately deleted.

The more tech-savvy users are, the more likely they are to link between different sites, abandon a blogging platform or social network for the next thing, try to consolidate their writings by deleting their old stuff and setting up their own site, only to let the domain lapse. The more tech-savvy users are, the more likely they are to mess with the HTML of their templates or try out different blogging software.

If content is spread between multiple sites, or if links link to social network posts that link to blog post with a comment that links to a reddit comment that links to a geocities page, any link could break. If content is consolidated in a forum, maybe Archive team could save all of it with some advance notice.

All this could mean that indie games/game design theory/pixel art resources are uniquely lost, and games studies/theory of games criticism/literary criticism applied to games are especially affected by link rot. The semi-professional, semi-hobbyist indie dev, the writer straddling the line between academic and reviewer, they seem the most affected. Artists who start out just doodling and posting their work, who then get hired to work on a game, their posts are deleted. GameFAQs stay online, Steam reviews stay online, but dev logs, forums and blog comment sections are lost.

Or maybe it's only confirmation bias. If I was into restoring old cars, or knitting, or collecting stamps, or any other thing I'd think that particular community is uniquely affected by link rot, and I'd have the bookmarks to prove it.

Figuring this out is important if we want to make predictions about the future of the small web, and about the viability of different efforts to get more people to contribute. We can't figure it out now, because we can't measure the ground truth of web sites that are already gone. Right now, the small web is mostly about the small web, not about stamp collecting or knitting. If we really manage to revitalise the small web, will it be like the small web of today except bigger, the web-1.0 of old, or will certain topics and communities be lost again?

Wordpress beginners guide

Once you’ve installed WordPress and logged into your dashboard (also known as “admin panel”), you should spend some time familiarizing yourself with the features.

You may run into terminology (as well as features themselves) that are unfamiliar. The following are some of the most common features and terms:

- Themes: A blog theme is just another word for your blog design. WordPress comes with a default theme, which is fairly bland. However, you can find thousands of themes (both free and paid) simply by running a search in Google for “WordPress themes.”

You’re sure to find something that’s the perfect color, includes the perfect graphics and otherwise “fits” with your site. If not, many of these themes are customizable. That means if you find one that’s close to what you want but not exactly, you can tweak it. Alternatively, you can hire a WordPress theme designer and coder to create an exclusive theme according to your specifications.

- Plugins: Plugins are tools that give your WordPress blog more features, benefits and functionality.

The reason plugins exist is because the WP developers realized that if they included every cool feature possible in WP’s core, the software would become “bloatware.” Plus, most people would have no need for all the additional tools.

The solution? All these additional tools are separate. That way you can just install and use the ones you really want, and ignore the others.

Now, there are plenty of plugins you can use. Some of the best ones are the sitemap tools, the anti-spam tools, the SEO-related tools, the monetization-related tools and a whole lot more.

- Widgets: Widgets work the same as plugins, in that they give you more flexibility and functionality on your WordPress blog. The difference, however, is that widgets reside on the sidebar of your WordPress blog, which is why they’re often referred to as “sidebar accessories.”

The other catch is that only WP themes that are “widget enabled” will allow you to install and use these tools.

- Posts: A post is the content you submit to your blog. It could be an article, a link to something interesting, short commentary on someone else’s blog post, etc.

- Categories: When you post, you can post to a certain category of your blog – that is, a specific subtopic on your blog. These subtopics help you organize your blog better, helps your readers find what they’re looking for, and can even help your search engine rankings.

- Comments: When you make a post, you have the option of enabling comments for your posts. Just as the name implies, enabling comments gives your visitors the ability to comment on and discuss your post. And that makes your blog “sticky,” as readers will return repeatedly just to watch the discussion unfolding.

- Tag: A tag is just another name for a keyword. You can use tags to help your blog readers find posts that they’re interested in. for example, if they search your blog for a particular keyword, then every post that includes that keyword – either in the content itself or as a tag – will turn up in their search results.

In addition, tags are useful for search engine purposes. If you use certain keywords in your content, in the title of your post, and then again as a tag, it may help with your ranking for that keyword.

Finally, tags are useful for when you notify blog directories (like Technorati.com) that you’ve updated your blog. Blog directory users often search for posts that interest them using post tags, so choosing the right tags can increase your traffic.

Which brings me to the next term: - Pinging: Pinging has multiple meanings in blogging. You may hear about a “pingback,” which is similar to a trackback in that you notify another blogger that you’ve discussed his article on your blog.

More commonly, however, you’ll hear bloggers talking about “pinging” a blog directory. This is when you inform a blog directory or search engine that you’ve made a new post… that way they can send a bot to crawl your site and index this new post. You can ping the top blog directories with one click using a free service like pingomatic.com. However, if you’re using WordPress, then you don’t need to use those services. That’s because WP automatically pings the directories the moment you post.

- RSS: RSS refers to “Really Simple Syndication,” and it comes standard with WordPress. The benefit is that people who have RSS readers can subscribe to your blog “feed.” Whenever you make a new post on your blog, the updated feed is sent to the person’s RSS feed reader – that means they can read your blog comment from their desktop, without the need for actually visiting your site.

In addition to giving individuals the ability to subscribe to and read your blog in another format, RSS allows you to share your content with other websites. If they have a feed reader on their site, they can pull your content into your site (with your permission, of course). (That’s where the Really Simple Syndication name originates.)

Housekeeping Post

Hey so you may have noticed that my last post redirects you to a Wordpress blog to keep reading. That’s right: I’ve got a Wordpress now.

I am still working on getting it up and running, but it’s in good enough shape to receive visitors now. I am going through the import and cleaning up formatting/links and also making the content in line with what I think is appropriate for a blog. I’ve finished 2015, which means I’m halfway done (by number of years; 2011 and 2012 are going to be a bear), but also apologies to anyone who’s suddenly getting trackbacks on these old posts. Fear not, archivists: I have a complete copy of this tumblr there, should the need arise, I am only making things private.

Essentially I am bifurcating my output. Things I actually spend time thinking and writing about will be there (but still linked!), and stuff like links or announcements will stay here. This will also free me up to make more casual posts like I used to before The Dark Times, and I’m looking forward to trying that again.

Why WordPress is most widely used platform for Websites?

The simple and plain structure of WordPress makes it easy to understand and work even for a person who is not able to  design & development.

WordPress, which was initially introduced only for blogging, is now also used for hosting corporate websites.

Few of the reasons, that make WordPress a better choice than the rest-

Themes

WordPress themes are floating over net in abundance. People design and distribute it. Few do it for free and few commercialise it. Obviously paid themes are more appealing than what you can avail for free but depending upon your requirement, free themes can also serve your purpose.

These available themes allow people customise and change the design of their blog/website, according to their choice. Of course, with the introduction of every new theme, there are few adjustments which need to be done and for this purpose, you can hire a service provider.

WordPress Plugins:

Truly Friendly:

WordPress is truly a user friendly platform.

Trackback :

You link your blog post, article or any content to any other blog, which is hosted on WordPress and it will automatically link to it, leaving a trackback on that blog.

So if you are planning for your own  website, WordPress can prove be your best choice.

We develops open source applications and also provides consulting on various open source projects. It also has great expertise related to other WordPress Services such as WordPress SEO, WordPress Social Media plug-ins, WordPress Security and Support,You can see Our Wordpress portfolio.

how to create a personal blog

how to create a personal blog   Setting Up Your Blog Blogging may be a profitable supply of profit and blogs are simple to line up and maintain.
