Content
In blogging parlance, series can be understood as roughly equivalent to “categories”, and notes to “comments”. There are differences though:
Categories vs Series
| Typical Blog Categories | Local Yarn Series |
|---|---|
| Buckets into which all or most posts are slotted | Curations of particular posts |
| Name is a single noun | Name is a descriptive title |
| Has no content or properties of its own | Has its own content and properties |
| Broad in scope, few in number | Narrow in scope, many in number |
| Selected to be relevant for use across the entire lifetime of the site | Selected without reference to future creative direction (may be closed after only a few articles) |
Comments vs Notes
| Typical Blog Comments | Local Yarn Notes |
|---|---|
| Rarely used after a post has aged | Commonly used on posts many years old |
| Visible only at the end of the individual post | Included in the main stream of posts and in the RSS feed alongside actual posts |
| Invites any and all feedback, from small compliments to lengthy rebuttals | Strictly for high-value emendations and timeless marginalia |
| Usually used by readers | Usually used by the original author |
| Don’t affect the original post | Has properties (e.g. disposition) that change the status and presentation of the original post) |
| Moderation (if done) is on a binary basis (approved or not) | Moderation may take the form of edits and in-note responses. |
