FAQ - if you’re new to blogs…
Most people have heard of blogging - yet only about 1 in 5 of online users use blogs.
This Q&A page is aimed at enabling you to enjoy using this blog - and maybe exploring some of the millions of others out there.
How is it different from a website?
It is a website - just a very simple form of website - but one that can be quickly and simply updated. And, importantly, a website that is interactive!
So you can add your thoughts, views, opinions, or questions.
How do I get news of updates to this Blog?
Click on the RSS button to add the blog to your blog-reader programme or to your Google or Yahoo reader. (The button is the little orange square - over there to your right.)
Alternately you can opt to receive an email notification whenever the blog is updated. We’ll have this one ready soon.
In Blogging:
Articles are called ‘posts’. And the newest one is always at the top of the page.
Anything you want to say regarding an article (questions, views, arguments, etc.) is called a ‘comment’.
How do I add a ‘comment’
Easy! Just 3 steps…
1. Click on ‘Login’ - it’s over there under ‘Meta’ header in the right-hand panel . (It’s actually just above the level of this line…)
2. This takes you to the ‘login page’ and near the bottom you’ll see the ‘Register’ button
3. Click on Register and add your name and email address - that’s it - you’ll receive a password within a few minutes and can then login and make comments or ask questions - or discuss with others who have commented.
Please: keep your comments to around 200 words - this is to create a discussion rather than a soapbox!
Your email address is private - it is not shown on the blog and is only seen by Pegasus NLP
I want to only read about a particular topic
Do you see the ‘Categories’ section - it’s over there near the top of the right-hand panel…? Well, that’s where articles/posts are sorted by topic.
So if you, for example, just want to read all the posts and comments about the Pegasus NLP Newsletter you click on that heading.
