Nice graphic on the cycle of blogging

I blog. I read blogs. I upload my blog posts from my PowerBook to a TypePad server via MarsEdit. I retrieve blog feeds from various web servers via NetNewsWire.

Here’s a great graphic that shows this cycle of blogging [via Ranchero]. It is from a presentation that Pat Chanezon is going to give at JavaOne about syndication.

By the way: I highly recommend using a dedicated blogging client for writing blog entries. Yes, it is nice to be able to author blog posts in a browser, but my friends and I have experienced the “Back Button of Death” that effectively kills your post. I highly recommend MarsEdit on OS X. On Windows, I’ve heard ecto is good. For Linux users, I highly recommend vi. ;)

    Looks like the Blogger folks are aware of the “Back Button of Death” (great name BTW ;)) and have introduced a sort of autosave feature based on cookies: http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=1125 surely not an all time saver, but at least worth a try

    I get around the Back Button of Death by constantly saving drafts.
