WordPress:WordPress Semantics

As with many software packages, WordPress has its own lingo or jargon. This article will introduce you to some of the terminology used in WordPress. 和其它的软件包一样，WordPress有它自己的行话或者[1]。这篇文章会向你介绍WordPress中使用的科技术语。

WordPress 术语介绍

WordPress was created by the developers as weblogging or blogging software. A blog, as defined in the Codex Glossary, is an online journal, diary, or serial, published by a person or group of people. Many blogs are personal in nature, reflecting the opinions and interests of the owner. But, blogs are now important tools in the world of business, politics, and entertainment.

WordPress由程序员创建作为写网络博客 或者 写博客 软件。一个 博客,如抄本术语表所定义的那样，是一个在线的定期刊物，日记，或者连续的文本，由一个人或者一群人发表的。许多博客本来就是个人性的，反映了写博客人的观点和兴趣。但是博客现在是世界上商业，政治和娱乐的重要工具。

Blogs are a form of a Content Management System (CMS) which Wikipedia calls "a system used to organize and facilitate collaborative content creation." Both blogs and Content Management Systems can perform the role of a website (site for short). A website can be thought of as a collection of articles and information about a specific subject, service, or product, which may not be a personal reflection of the owner.

博客是内容管理系统 (CMS) Wikipedia叫做"一个系统用来组织和便利互相合作创作内容。 " 博客 和内容管理系统 可以执行 website 的角色(简称为站点). 一个网站 可以被看成是关于一个特别的主题，服务，或者产品信息的集合，这些可能并不能反映写博客的人的个人关于这方面的情况。

与内容有关的术语

The term Word in WordPress refers to the words used to compose posts. Posts are the principal element (or content) of a blog. The posts are the writings, compositions, discussions, discourses, musings, pictures, graphics, and, yes, the rantings of the blog's owner and guest authors. Posts, in most cases, are the reason a blog exists; without posts, there is no blog!

WordPress中的Word术语指的是用来写一些文章的单词。文章 是一个博客的注意成分(或者内容) 。文章是博客用户和访问作者的作品，文章，讨论，谈论，思考，图画，图形，还有，对，激昂的演说。在大多数情况下，文章,是一个博客存在的理由，没有了文章,就没有了博客！

After a post is made public, a blog's readers will respond, via comments, to that post, and in turn, authors will reply. Comments enable the communication process, that give-and-take, between author and reader. Comments are the life-blood of most blogs. 当一篇文章公共话以后，博客的读者就会通过评论对那篇文章做出反响，接着，作者就会回复。 评论能使交流继续下去，作者与读者之间相互意见的交换。评论是大多数博客的生命线。 An important part of the posting process is the act of assigning those posts to categories. Each post in WordPress is filed under one or more categories. Thoughtful categorization allows posts of similar content to be grouped, thereby aiding viewers in the navigation and use of a site. In addition to categories, terms or keywords called tags can be assigned to each post.

发表文章的一个重要部分，是将这些文章上交到类别上。WordPress中的每篇文章都归档在一个或者更多的类别里.细心的分类能使同样内容的文章组合在一起,因此能帮助访客使用站点,导航到站点的某一个位置.除了类别以外,术语和关键词标签也可以被分配到每篇文章上.

In turn, post categories are one of the elements of what's called post meta data. Post meta data refers to the information associated with each post and includes the author's name and the date posted as well as the post categories. Post meta data also refers to Custom Fields where you assign specific words, or keys, that can describe posts. But, you can't mention post meta data without discussing the term meta.

其次,文章类别是称作文章meta 数据上的元素之一. 文章 meta 数据指的是与每篇文章相关的信息,包括作者的姓名和文章发表的日期,以及文章类别. 文章meta 数据也指自定义范围,你可以在这儿提交一些特别的词语,或者是可以描述文章的关键词.但是,在没有探讨术语meta之前,你不应该提及文章meta 数据.

Generally, meta means "information about"; in WordPress, meta usually refers to administrative-type information. So, besides post meta data, Meta is the HTML tag used to describe and define a web page to the outside world, like meta tag keywords for search engines. Also, many WordPress-based sites offer a Meta section, usually found in the sidebar, with links to login or register at that site. And, don't forget Meta Rules: The rules defining the general protocol to follow in using this Codex, or Meta, as in the MediaWiki namespace that refers to administrative functions within Codex. That's a lot of Meta! 一般来说, meta指的是"信息关于";在WordPress中, meta通常指的是管理-类的信息.因此,除了文章 meta 数据以外, Meta是一个HTML标签,来向外部描述和定义一个网页,像对搜索引擎定义的meta标签关键词. 而且,许多的以WordPress为基础的站点提供一个Meta 部分,通常可以在工具条中找到, 拥有登录或者注册到那个站点的链接.而且不要问了Meta 规则: 规则规定了使用这个抄本或者Meta,的一般协议,就如在MediaWiki namespace 在Codex以内指向管理功能. Meta的许多作用!

Finally, WordPress also offers a content management tool called a Page. Pages often present static information, such as "About Me", or "Contact Us", Pages. Typically "timeless" in nature, Pages should not be confused with the time-oriented objects called posts. Interestingly, a Page is allowed to be commented upon, but a Page cannot be categorized.

最后,WordPress也提供了一个内容管理工具叫做版面. 版面 通常显示静态的信息,像"关于我", 或者"联系我们", 网页. 通常本性是 "永久的", 版面 不应该与以时间为导向的称作文章的像混淆. 有趣的是, 一个 页面 允许被 评论,但是一个 页面 不能被归类.

与设计相关的术语

The flexibility of WordPress is apparent when discussing terminology related to the design of a WordPress blog. At the core of WordPress, developers created a programming structure named Wordpress:The Loop to handle the processing of posts. The Loop is the critical PHP program code used to display posts. Anyone wanting to enhance and customize WordPress will need to understand the mechanics of The Loop.

当谈论到与一个WordPress博客的设计有关的术语后,WordPress灵活性显得非常明显.在WordPress核心中,程序员创建了一个程序结构叫做The Loop来处理文章的处理过程. The Loop是至关重要的PHP程序代码,用来显示文章. 任何人想要提升和定制 WordPress就需要了解 Loop的机械原理.

Along with The Loop, WordPress developers have created Wordpress:Template Tags which are a group of PHP functions that can be invoked by designers to perform an action or display specific information. It is the Template Tags that form the basis of the Template Files. Template Files contain the programming pieces, such as Template Tags, that control the structure and flow of a WordPress site. These files draw information from your WordPress MySQL database and generate the HTML code which is sent to the web browser. A Wordpress:Template Hierarchy, in essence the order of processing, dictates how Templates control almost all aspects of the output, including Headers, Sidebars, Archives, and Posts by Category.

在创建Loop的同时, WordPress 程序员创建了 模板标签 是一组PHP功能,可以由创建者调用来执行一个行动,或者显示特别的信息.是模板标签 形成了 模板文件的基础. 模板文件 包含了程序部分,例如模板标签, 控制了WordPress站点的结构和流量.这些文件从你的WordPress MySQL 数据库中得到信息并且产生 HTML 代码,这些代码被送到了网络浏览器. 一个模板层级, 本质上是处理的顺序, 指出模板' 怎样控制了基本上所有的输出方面,包括 标题, 工具条, 归档, 和文章归类.

Templates and Template Tags are two of the pieces used in the composition of a WordPress Theme. A Theme is the overall design of a site and encompasses color, graphics, and text. A Theme is sometimes called the skin. With the recent advances in WordPress, Wordpress:Theme Development has become a hot topic. WordPress-site owners have available a long list of Themes to choose from in deciding what to present to their sites' viewers. In fact, with the use of a Theme Switcher Revisited Plugin, WordPress designers can allow their visitors to select their own Theme.

模板和模板标签是创做一个WordPress的两个部分主题. 一个主题 是一个站点的总设计并且包括颜色,图形和文章.一个主题 有时被称作外皮. With the recent advances in随着WordPress的新发展, 主题发展 已经变成了一个热门的话题.拥有WordPress站点的人提供了一个长长的可供选择的主题 列表,决定相他们的站点访客提供什么.事实上,随着 主题调控器再次访问插件的使用, WordPress 设计中可以使他们的访客选择自己的主题.

Plugins are custom functions created to extend the core functionality of WordPress. The WordPress developers have maximized flexibility and minimized code bloat by allowing outside developers the opportunity to create their own useful add-on features. As evidenced by the Codex Plugins by Category and the Plugin Official Repository; there's a Plugin to enhance virtually every aspect of WordPress.

插件是自定义功能,用来延伸WordPress的核心功能.给外面的程序员机会来创建他们自己有用的插件功能,WordPress程序员将灵活性最大化了,将代码冗余最小化了.正如由类别的Codex 插件 和 插件官方储存所证明的; 有插件几乎能提高WordPress的每一个方面。

关于管理者的术语

Another set of terms to examine are those involving the Administration of a WordPress site. A comprehensive set of Wordpress:Administration Panels enables users to easily administer and monitor their blog. A WordPress administrator has a number of powers which include requiring a visitor to register in order to participate in the blog, who can create new posts, whether comments can be left, and if files can be uploaded to the blog. An Administrator also defines a Blogroll (links) and the associated Categories which are an important part of a blog's connection to the outside world. 另一组可以调查的术语是哪些包含一个WordPress站点的管理者的术语。一套全面的管理面板能使用户轻松地管理和调控它们的博客。一个WordPress 管理者有许多权利，包括要求访客登录后在参与博客，谁能发表新的文章，评论可不可以留下，文件是否要上传到博客上。一个管理者也定义一个 友情链接 (链接) 以及相关的分类 是博客对连接的一个重要部分。

Some of the main administrative responsibilities of a WordPress blog involve adding, deleting, and managing Registered Users. Administering users means controlling Wordpress:Roles and Capabilities, or permissions. Roles control what functions a registered user can perform as those functions can range from just being able to login at a blog to performing the role administrator.

一个WordPress博客的主要的管理责任包括增加，删除和管理注册的用户。管理用户指的是控制角色和能力，或者权限。角色控制了一个注册的用户可以执行什么样的操作，因为那些操作可以是只能在一个博客中登录，也可以是担当管理者角色

Another chief concern for the blog administrator is Wordpress:Comment Moderation. Comments, also called discussions, are responses to posts left for the post author by the visitor and represent an important part of "the give and take" of a blog. But Comments must be patrolled for Spam and other malicious intentions. The WordPress Administration Manage Comments SubPanel simplifies that process with easy-to-use screens which add, change, and delete Comments.

博客管理者另一个主要在意的事是审核评论. Comments, 也称作讨论, 是访客给文章作者留的反馈，反映了博客的"互换意见"的一个重要的部分。但是评论 必须 去除了 垃圾广告 和其它的恶意的意图。The WordPress Administration 管理评论子面板通过使用容易使用的界面将这个过程简单化了，这个界面可以增加，改变和删除评论。

术语帮助

The final set of jargon relates to helping you with WordPress. There are many help resources available to WordPress users; Wordpress:Getting More Help, Wordpress:Finding WordPress Help, Wordpress:Troubleshooting, and WordPress FAQ (frequently asked questions) are good starting points. Also Wordpress:Getting Started with WordPress will jump-start readers into the world of WordPress and the excellent Wordpress:WordPress Lessons provide in-depth tutorials on many of the aspects of using WordPress. Among the most important resources is the WordPress Support Forum where knowledgeable volunteers answer your questions and help solve any problems related to WordPress.

最后一批行话涉及到给你提供关于WordPress的 帮助 。 WordPress用户可以得到许多帮助 资源；得到更多的帮助, 寻求WordPress帮助, 发现并修理故障, 和 WordPress 常见问题解答 (常见问题解答) 都是很好的出发点。 而且开始使用WordPress会 带领 读者来到WordPress世界而且卓越的 WordPress课程 提供了关于使用WordPress的许多方面的深入的指南 。Among the most important resources is the WordPress 支持论坛 也是最重要的资源， 知识渊博的志愿者回答你的问题并且帮助你解决任何与WordPress有关的问题。当然，这个包含了成百上千篇文章的Codex 会使你成功地接触WordPress!

WordPress名称历史

Besides the technical terminology of WordPress, it's also interesting to know the history of the name, WordPress. The name "WordPress" was originally coined by Christine Selleck (see related post) in response to developer Matthew Mullenweg's desire to associate his new software project with printing presses. In this sense, press refers to the world of reporters, journalists, columnists, and photographers. An aptly chosen name, because WordPress serves as the printing press that enables its users to publish their words. It's a good name, don't you think so?

除了WordPress的技术术语外，了解WordPress名称的历史，也是很有趣的。"WordPress"名原先是由Christine Selleck (看相关的文章)杜撰的，响应developer Matthew Mullenweg's想将他的新软件项目与印刷媒体联系起来。在这一句话中， 媒体 指的是通讯员，记者，专栏作家和摄影师的世界。一个适宜选择的名称，因为WordPress作为印刷媒体 使它的用户能够发表 他们的文字。这是一个好名字，你也这样认为吗?
