The New York Post is an upscale conservative daily newspaper in New York City, United States
The New York Post has traditionally been used as a paper for conservative thought, and has always been the mainstay conservative newspaper in America. However, since 2005 they have been experimenting with a new type of online content and one of their experiments is YP. YP stands for “young folks” and is a category on the New York Post website that allows registered users of the site to create content specifically for their young readers. Currently, the site has over seven thousand articles in this category alone and has been successful with the number of users who have created articles. This type of content has been very well received and has actually posted higher numbers than the regular New York Times and Wall Street Journal in the category of nonfiction stories and articles.
So how does this work you may ask? In the case of ypost the author syntax for creating this content uses the Yotpo author facility and it is quite simple actually. The author facility allows authors to define the file name, which in turn gives them the ability to specify the number of words that should be included within the article as well as to specify the categories of subjects that are generally allowed within the article itself. After the author has done this the only other thing that needs to be done is to submit the article and then sit back and watch the statistics which tell you just how many people viewed the post and also just how many people actually visited the post.
In the case of YP the article is placed into the category of news servers and from there it can be viewed by any number of people. Once it has been seen by someone a person can then access the contents which are generally stored on a Yahoo or Google map page. The categories that are available here are public and all posts that are made are viewable by anyone. It also provides links to any other sites where readers of the news can find more about the subject matter of the particular post. If you have ever used a sfv file from a news server you will know that they have specific attributes to allow people to find information.
If you have ever used a news service to publish a S Fiji story you will know that the subject line is actually posting a description about the content. This is very similar to the case of ypost. In the case of ypost however the description is not the one that actually posting the content as it is an additional attribute that has been attached to the post. You can however use both the description and the link for your posts. If you do this then you can rest assured that the file info may be specified by the Yotpo authoring system.
Some news services have been known to encode the value in the body instead of the link although if the value is encoded, then you can be certain that the reader will see that the yahoo or Google map is actually posting the content rather than the message “click here”. You have to realize that the reader will not click on the link unless he or she can be shown where the content is. Even if that happens, chances are that the reader will just navigate away.
Another attribute that you can add to your ypost is the META attribute. When this is present the META description will be encoded in the same manner as the YOTP message but this time with META part removed. The reader will have to go out of his or her way in order to follow the link to the META data. If the reader can follow the META attribute, then there is a chance that he or she will click on the link and thus post the data to the S Fiji server.
The above mentioned attributes are only some of the many that you can use in your ypost multipart application. There are other methods that you can use such as yahoo! codes, META attribute, META description and the plain text post. You can also customize your ypost author syntax by including your own code in your ypost.
