Recently, a lot of friends have weighed in on me, saying that Blogland has been begging for help lately, what do you think?
How do you look? Not much. Smile and pass.
In fact, saving the garden has been my concern for a long time, and many gardeners have contributed generously and made a lot of suggestions, but there has not been a lot of substantial follow-up, as I believe Members should have seen.
Why are you writing this article? Because I recently read a comment from a fellow gardener who wrote this:
I think the writing is very good, blog garden is a platform, we are users, the platform to provide services, we contribute to the flow, is a very simple relationship, purely rely on sentiment to support, and not long, the platform since the shelves of the "sentiment", and part of the user has also paid the bill, then the platform should also have the obligation to the user to provide a substantial program to save the garden, or "sentiment" to go, but the focus does not seem to be in this regard, as if they are counting the number of members to how many? Or "feelings" of the destination, but the blog garden focus seems not in this regard, as if they are counting the number of members to how many?
Since the blog garden does not provide, then from my point of view, write this article, to let you know a little more about the blog garden, of course, all rational analysis, no emotion.
I used to work in the blog garden for about 3 years, when the whole community and the garden atmosphere is still relatively good, of course, the flow is certainly more than now, a variety of clouds are also developing rapidly, the flow corresponds to the revenue, but later, the whole garden atmosphere is slowly falling, the home page attention is slowly decreasing, the flow basically rely on search, why? In fact, it is very simple, that is, high-quality articles slowly become less and less influential bloggers "out" or no longer updated, this phenomenon should be created from the blog garden to now has always existed, just before the first 10 years, gone a batch of another batch, so the overall atmosphere is still relatively stable, but in recent years, there is no new people to appear or old people to update! Top (here refers to a sustained high-quality blog posts, the atmosphere brought about by), the search traffic and then cut a large cut, resulting in the current situation.
Of course, the person in charge of the blog park must also know this kind of manifestation, but they seem to have been very optimistic, at least the first 10 years so, that bloggers write or not write, the right to choose to them, they do not write what can I do? But in fact, as a blogging platform, you can do a lot of things, you can not force them to write control, but you can have a lot of measures to "lure" them to write.
For example, the blog garden "recommended bloggers", is not everyone ignored? This thing in fact NN years ago, I think these are the most valuable wealth of the blog garden, the most SVIP members, but now it is cold aside, many years ago I was responsible for a period of time "editorial recommendation", that is, every day from yesterday's home page article to select the best quality as today's "editorial recommendation" blog posts, you have a or many recommended blog posts, you can apply for a recommended blogger. "Editor's Recommendation" blog post, you have a or a lot of recommended blog posts, you can apply for a recommended blogger, when there are a lot of high-quality articles, we all want to be on, and even when the recommended blogger, even if it is just a mark.
Because of these recommended bloggers in, so the whole garden atmosphere is very good, do not write blog posts garden friends, every day will go to the home page to see if there is a high-quality blog posts, interested or have questions, directly in the blog comments, bloggers are also happy to answer one by one, and slowly discuss the atmosphere on the up, there are questions that then continue to write a discussion, in fact, I was on the blog about . NET Core and DDD is written in this way, the atmosphere spawned, this and the blog park does not have a direct relationship, it just provides a platform, the atmosphere is generated by the blogger and the garden friends, once the blogger or the garden friends do not participate in this atmosphere will slowly fall.
In fact, as a platform, there are many measures to continue to maintain the atmosphere, not only by user initiative, such as giving certain benefits to the blogger, so that the blogger to stay in the platform, continue to generate power, thus generating a virtuous cycle, to the platform to bring revenue, there are many kinds of measures, such as the issuance of certificates and medals and so on (similar to the Aliyun or Tencent cloud community MVP), to provide a reward service (similar to WeChat), or based on visits or recommendation mechanism to give cash (similar to watermelon video rewards) and so on. Public), or according to the number of visits or recommended mechanism to give cash (similar to the watermelon video award), etc. I remember very clearly, in charge of the "editorial recommendation" of the blog during that time, I once and the blog garden responsible for mentioning, is not it possible to give on the editorial recommendation of the blogger, send a blog garden T-shirt (yes, NN years ago) (Yes, there were blogspot t-shirts, but a lot of them rotted in the warehouse)? Then, there was no then.
In fact, the blog garden 20 years, there are a lot of wind can be utilized, such as knowledge payment, training video, public number, etc., but none of the touch, of course, the use of these wind properly, will allow the blog garden to the next level, the development of the new stage will be entered, did not touch it does not matter, the most important assets are properly maintained also line, but it is not the case.
On top of the most important assets (blog posts and bloggers), like the recent crowdsourcing, peripheral, membership, etc., are on top of the foundation to build a tall building, if the foundation of the problem, the upper level to engage in all kinds of fancy strategy is useless, sometime, must be crashed down.
Suggestions for the blog garden are never lacking (even when not during the time of saving the garden), and a few random excerpts from the comments of gardeners (and mine too haha):
I won't list them all, so scroll through them on your own, a lot of the suggestions are actually good, but it seems like the replies are forever:
In addition, one more thing, since it has saved the garden stage, I hope that the blog garden can be given to help the users or enterprises, more rights and interests, even if there is no more rights and interests, but also hope that more announced to save the progress of the garden or program (member group update can be), not to sentiment disposable.
There's actually a lot to write, but I realized at the end of writing that only a little bit was said, so that's it, this post will be deleted in a few days.
