The Useful Internet (0000) - Organization of the posts


Serial Number: 00
Branch Number: 00
Main Categroy: Posts within "The Useful Internet" Series of Articles Guide
Sub Category: Organization of the posts and introductory commenting and usage guide

This is the first post in a series of articles i intend to write in which i will summarize some of the most useful sites of the internet (at least in my own opinion). Here's how it will go:

  • Every post will address a certain general category or sub-category of sites. For example, a post will address "Web Directory Services".
  • Next posts will have a small header at the beginning identifying the group/category/subcategory of sites it is discussing. The posts will be given serial numbers according to the category they are addressing, for example, all posts discussing web directory and search services will be numbered 01, the next topic will have 02 as its number and so on.
  • Some categories will be discussed in more than one post, each may be discussing one subcategory of the main category being discussed or just continue a long discussion of the category. Those will be given branch numbers, so "open web directory services" might be given the serial number 01 and the branch number 01, totalling for a 0101 post number!
  • Headers at the top of each post will contain information about this.
  • Now suppose i didn't mention anything about yahoo! when i discussed search engines, and you think that it is the best search engine ever created, all you have to do is post a comment on the appropriate post (the one discussing commercial search services) mentioning that there is a search engine called yahoo and where it can be found, what is its main features, and what other services they offer. Like this, we might get something out of this blog on the long run.
  • Another thing is, if you have a question that you feel like asking related to the topic of one of the posts and not answered by that post, also comment the question so others (including me) may reply to it.

Simple enough i guess.

This format is also subject to discussion and further refinement. It keeps me comfortable as it reminds me of the good old fashioned newsgroups and usenets!
