Blogging buttons

[annvole]

The original microblogging format was "webcomics"... Just a lot of images put in an order. There still isn't a common format platform for webcomics although a few comics-specific websites are out there with limited usefulness with mobile devices (instead of a normal "desktop" os where FTP file transfer or similar file access is available). I just thought of a way to mix microblogging with regular blogging and in such a way that webcomics are possible: much like LiveJournal used the "more" programming options for a blog post, definable buttons can be made and added to a microblogging format. These buttons can start as a "more" or "..." image to expand the post but if they are user-defined including icon image and function, the usual webcomic navigation buttons can be included. Of course my main criticism of microblogging is the text limits but the close-second is the lack of navigation options like tabs that some blogs used and link lists. The hashtag concept appears to be a Twitter workaround (and Facebook copied the idea) but it is rarely used because it isn't blog-internal like blog tabs are but rather a global or platform-wide thing. My idea of user-defined buttons could replicate both tabs and hashtags if you want. If these can be defined within a single post, they can be used like the menu idea Wikipedia used to use... You would define a section title then adding to the address (I think the question mark was used) to open the section under the title specified after the question mark. LiveJournal used to have a highlights system where you could organize links to particular posts. That system was broken with Russians bought LiveJournal. That system could be replaced with a post using such defined buttons. Pinned posts are useful on Twitter but you are limited to one post. The "pinned" function can be implemented via a button providing a lot of options like "pinned post #2" which might stay the same while pinned post #1 might change. "Background image" could be a button too but with a bigger image. Profile pictures could be a button too allowing several possible profile images like LiveJournal used to have (might still have but I know they lost most of mine). Image placement and multiple images and image memory management (like Facebook had at one time) could also be defined into buttons.

Edit: movie scripts are basically just adding names of the characters in front of text blocks... The names can be these buttons so repeating the name isn't adding to the text volume other than to tell the system "button 23" etc.
