How Blogs Work, Part 1

In fact, this blog page is coded in "auto and coded by "automatic! In this article, "Takahisa," the developer of this fully automatic blog page, explains in detail how it works. blog page, will thoroughly explain how it works!

#1 Development history of blog page (CREATER'S BLOG)

We did not initially plan to develop this blog page. However, in the course of our interviews with companies and universities, we had a variety of experiences that went beyond our main focus on 3D printers. As a result, various topics that could not be fully covered on the main web page (Future Printer) naturally arose in our minds.

It would be a shame to throw these topics away because we can't put them on the web. That's why we developed a "blog-style" web page where you can easily write articles.

#2 Why did we develop our own blog?

When we decided to blog, we intended to use external social networking sites. However, they are not the best fit for us. The reason is obvious. The reason is obvious: they are not developed by us. First of all, in all of them, if you look at the side of the screen, you will see a lot of posts that have nothing to do with us.

This blog page is perfectly customized to fully convey the appeal of our activities. The ability to choose tags and writers is a prime example of this. Our spirit of challenge has made us stop relying on external sources for our blog page.

#3 System Development

The most important thing in developing a blog page, is to make it easy & carefree to write articles. If you spend several hours on each article, there is no point in having a blog. What is needed here is a CMS (Content Management System) such as WordPress or authoring software such as Home Page Builder. This will "usually" make it dramatically easier to post and update articles.

However, since our completed websites are to be stored on the servers owned by the National Junior High and High School Web Contest, we are unable to use such a system. Therefore, we have developed our own "just-in-case" content management system and authoring system, which has succeeded in partially automating the coding process and dramatically increasing the efficiency of article creation.

This is going to be a long post, so that's all for today. In the next article, "How Blogs Work, Part 2," we will introduce the details of the content management system (blogging system) that we have developed.
