Hello world!

这是WordPress自动生成的ID为1的第一篇post,由于只是个模拟页面,人们通常会把它删除。

It used to be popular to set up a personal website with WordPress among young people years back when I was in college. It was the time when Twitter just emerged and was open for registration in China; Google was still accessible from the country; interestingly enough, Gmail required an invitation from existing users upon registration; Sina Blog became a trending blogging platform while Blogbus enjoyed an impressive market share among educated young people.

许多年前我还在上学的时候,年轻人中间很流行用WordPress搭建个人网站。那时Twitter刚刚兴起,在中国可以直接注册;Google还可以访问;有意思的是,Gmail的注册还是邀请制的;新浪博客独领风骚,Blogbus则在文艺青年中受到欢迎。

I am actually showing my respect to deNgpeNg, who used to be a famous blogger on Blogbus, by keeping the Hello World page as he did then. I remembered he wrote an article about how to move from Blogbus to WordPress, and I once used a Blogbus template designed by him.

而我保留“Hello World”这篇文章的作法,也是在向我当年的偶像deNgpeNg致敬。我记得他教过粉丝如何从Blogbus搬家到WordPress,我还用过他设计的一款Blogbus模板。

Nowadays, most bloggers I knew have disappeared on the Internet. I guess it’s mostly because of the emergence of the so-called new media. Fewer people would need a self-owned website anymore. Also, owing to the reason known to all, .org domain hosting is no longer approved in China, which has forced some bloggers to say goodbye.

如今,原来我关注的一些bloggers都已不再经营他们的网站了。或许是因为新媒体的崛起,个人网站存在的意义已经不大了。此外,很多网站域名是.org后缀的,由于众所周知的原因已无法在国内备案,想必这也是驱使大家离开的原因之一。

Anyway, life has to continue even though the best times have ended.

虽然最好的时代已经过去,但生活还要继续。
