By windy
A large and open room, there is no light, dark-brown work desk, sitting in a small man, but there is a majesty in the air, this is the legendary MS?
"How long do you have a blog?"
"9 months."
"So not a new hand ... nor very little, give you a mission, there is a blog service provider on the rivers and lakes." He looked at me far away. "It is 9CBS, it is said to send an article in 9cbsblog. Difficult, your task is to successfully find the site, and publish an article. But you have to remember, if you can't succeed, the consequence will not be imagined! "
What will blog will be? What kind of consequences will not be imagined? With such a question, I started 9cbsblog sent journey.
Obedience
Find blog, click, go to blog homepage, see an account, enter box, enter the box, have a "my blog"; enter the username, enter, except for the right column. , Nothing happens, oh, "My blog" link runs to the right side of the input box. General sense, everyone's common sense is the search button, and the hyperlink is not required to click, maybe not follow the rules, is a small barrier method.
Click on the link to reach the blog page I applied, log in, the font of the login page is really strange, but it is difficult to do it, you will look at it, but also, the username and password are the same as the 9CBS account, yes. Although the login of this place and the 9CBS login are not synchronized, this little secret I have long known.
Undermount
After logging in, the article is displayed directly, I need to write new articles, well, "write articles", there is currently the writing article page.
And slow, first appear on the page is a blue horizontal strip: article.
Next is another gray strip: modify the article; after modifying the article, it is the following text: blog is your article column, please don't ask questions here, otherwise it will be deleted directly. Be sure to respect the intellectual property and put an end to infringement. Encourage original and condemn unsuccessful reposts.
Figure 1 Warning when writing a new blog
I can understand the designer's pain, please don't ask questions here; the problem is really necessary to warn it once every time I send a new article? Obviously, people who have issued a problem and those who want to care about writing articles are two categories, while the most susceptible, the number of injuries is the author who carefully wrote articles. The black body also represents a tough attitude, which can't help but remember the previous industry and commerce "law enforcement" personnel.
A good alternative is to give a small prompt for the first time, provide some explanations and help information (such as links to the blog topic), will no longer appear later, if the author accidentally asked questions, Remind him to the corresponding forum, the original text is preserved as a draft, for positive authors, such as 9cbsblog on the home page, I believe they will not need this reminder.
Also, the above content has occupied most of the current screen, extremely valuable space; Is this horizontal strip useful? No. What does it mean to modify the article? The current environment is clearly written in writing a new article, while writing one side? The author will not think so. These are no use, and there is only one action on the screen space, remove! Ok, finally arrive at the title of the article.
This designer is very generous, giving a long title bar on the right edge of the screen, helping me, I feel that more than a dozen words is very embarrassed. However, the date that is often concerned about writing blog, and has not seen the place where the classification is selected. Before writing articles, in fact, the authors already have a certain idea, know what you will know, so you can choose the classification here. Next, enter the content ...
Encounter
The design / HTML under the input box is a bit strange, but we think that programmers can understand, "design" is the interface I now "Write Articles", "Write Articles" and "Design" still have some differences. ? HTML is an HTML source code for display (and edit); however, these two icons are neither a hyperlink is not a button, it is inevitable that it does not conform to operation habits.
Figure 2 Design and HTML
If the article has been written, knock in the last number, what should I do next? I want to see a publish button?
Low-level roadblock - article summary
No, the button is "Article Summary" section (such as the above figure), there is a prompt: you must fill in the summary, give me a reason, why must I fill in a summary?
Put the first paragraph COPY, paste, then enter the next level, personal classification; before, it is better to put the classification before writing articles, considering that the author has some ideas, know the writings Which category, then, first selecting categories will also play a certain content boot, and will not run too far.
Advanced Roadblock - Document Center Category Selection
Can you published it? Then look down and see:
"If you want to publish it to the 9CBS Document Center at the same time, please check the following categories"
Yes, I want to go to the 9CBS Document Center, I hope that the reader will be more :) But then go to the next, in addition to the "No Question" warning, come back to a choice classification warning "Please choose carefully Article classification, if you choose, the article will be deleted directly "; don't say this, the bottom is the classification of dense Ma Ma, a total of 4 major categories, 19, 19, 7, 9 small classes; no way, Spend some of the time to study, what classifications you want, but this is not the purpose of sending articles? Figure 3 warned again
Silent persistence ...
Hard work hard is classified, tired! I finally saw the published, canceled two blue buttons, I wrote so long, still don't cancel it, press, publish!
Figure 4 Advanced options
Enhance super high roadblock
No sound again, the page is still that page, buttons or that button. Is this better? There is no prompt, or the editing interface (fortunately, the content of the article is still in, Amitabha!), Right? After some pondering, thinking, exploration, exploration, during the period, in order to prevent the content loss, COPY has been put, and finally discovered that the following button is, there is another Qiankun: Advanced option! Note that it seems that the real ultra-high-end roadblock is not a high-level option. The key little thing is the input box of the page name under the advanced option. You must enter, the article will be published.
In addition to the name of the article, will the author care about the page name? will not.
Be sure to enter the page name to publish an article? There is no such logical relationship.
What's more, its location is still under the publishing button, it is even more fascinating, there is no prompt that must be entered on the page. Of course, the most fundamental problem is that the page should not make such a request.
About advanced options, think of another problem, sharing here: How to make the full text display on the home page, and do not display information with "Click here to view full text"? A senior big fish said: It's very simple. When you send blog, there is a high-level option below, put "Just Picking" (Note: Yes "Aggregate Article Description", not a summary).
Aggregation, this is a glamorous word, who can think of it, a problem that everyone is plagued, actually gives big fish, this setting, if the length is near the summary, if it is a point, it is changed to "only display Summary, is it too easy to be discovered? High, it is high.
After the hardships, the article finally arrived at the state, it is not easy, I am sighing, this task is completed.
Let's take a look at the normal activity process of the usual author to write articles: 1, the author chooses writing articles; 2. The system displays the writing page; 3. Author Enter the article title, select the classification, default is the current time, time can be changed; 4 The article content, the input is complete, published; 5, system prompts the article has been successfully published.
What about 9CBSBLOG? The author's activities have become: 1, the author chooses to write articles; 2. The system displays the irregular horizontal strip, showing the warning of the problem, display the writing page; 3. Author Enter the article title, (no classification, no time Information); 4, the author enters the article content, the input is completed; 5, the system prompt must enter a summary; 6, the author enters a summary; 7, the author chooses custom classification; 8, system prompt selection document center classification, related warnings; The author selects the 9CBS document center classification; (no choice) 10, the author enters the page name; (Note: There is a high-grade roadblock) 11, the author published an article; 12, the system prompts the article has been successfully published.
These more procedures are to reduce writing efficiency, interfering with writing procedures, add trouble to write, not help. When writing, the author pays smoothly and appropriately expresses his thoughts, published; other activities are unnecessary. So, suggest: • Remove the interference content of the article above the title of the article, • Remind the classification to the previous time, • Turn on the current time, • Remove the design to "writing", • Remove the summary of the required information, • Go off the document center classification Tips and warnings, • Remove the page names and enter the input steps, • Put the advanced option quietly before you publish, canceled buttons.
Also, remove the black body setting of the page font, let the authors focus on their writing content, rather than a variety of tips, options.
In addition, the actual meaning of the collection is a draft, that is, the article that does not publicly publish, this need to be completely "not published, saved as draft" after writing the article, can not confuse the author (what is the meaning of the collection, is it Written by yourself, reposted a collection?), You can also make the BLOG service organization more reasonable.
Also, you can add some help tips in what you need, now there is almost no help tips, except for warnings and attention; try to use popular easy to understand, such as aggregated article summary is an example.
Abstracts can be more friendly, each author has its own habits, some likes to set up a summary, some like to show full text, and hope only show the title, and some like let the system automatically generate a summary, and the same author It is also possible to set different summaries for each article, and the system should remember everyone's preference, try to help the author faster, and set the abstract of the article more smoothly.
postscript
Still the empty room, in the afternoon, the light is dim.
"Very good, you have completed the task. There are 33,695 players who have sent it."
"Thank you MS!"
"This is just the first test for you. Next time, you will send you to 9cbsblog. Remember, you can only succeed, don't fail, if you can't succeed, the consequences will not be imagined!"
The mood that just relaxed again was nervous, what kind of task is there? What kind of consequences will not be imagined? It will always come ...
