Before I pack it in for the night I want to make sure this still goes to Blogger. 9:18:49 PM

La la la nice lady. 1. 2. 8:48:07 PM

OK, I have a new implementation for the Manila-Blogger mirror. Now it only updates when I publish, not when I post. Important distinction. Had to add a callback to the rendering process to do this. Will release that part shortly. Am also going to add a callback to posting. 8:16:10 PM

Back to the Manila-Blogger work. Lalalal. Plalala. P'tahhh. 7:19:25 PM

BulletThis is a test. Please ignore.

BulletCNET reviews Radio 8. Nice review. We need a spell checker. They like Blogger better, but gave it the same score, 8 out of 10. But the best part are the user comments. You guys really like us. Wow. Thanks!

BulletNew Feature: Titles and Links in Radio-generated RSS.

BulletLast night, as part of the mop-up on Radio Community Server, I did a rewrite of the notification code on the server-side. Some people had asked what the Please Notify entries on their Events pages are about. Here's the scoop. Some RSS feeds have an element in their header called "cloud" that tells a reader how to subscribe to the channel. When you're subscribed to such a feed, Radio automatically requests notification. That's what Please Notify is about. Then when it changes, if everything goes well, the cloud sends a short message to Radio saying "Hey this resource changed." Then again, Murphy-willing, your Radio reads the feed and if there really are new items, it adds them to your News Aggregator page. Until yesterday, this feature of the community server was turned off, now it's back on, and appears to be working.

BulletNew Radio 8 feature: Web Bug Simulator.

Source: Scripting NewsNew Radio 8 feature. Now you can post to categories without posting to the home page. If you have categories enabled, there's a new checkbox, the first one, called Home Page (it effectively becomes a category). By default it's checked. Now you can easily publish multiple weblogs, going to lots of different locations, from one edit box. Screen shot

BulletWe released a set of changes that improve the generation of RSS in Radio 8. Includes support for the and elements in RSS 0.92; macros are now processed as feeds are built; a big speed bump; a bug fixed. The code also got a lot more maintainable.

Here's a macro for Blogger: The id of my blogger site is 28677. Now how is a user supposed to know that? I have to figure that out. If you know the answer, send me an email at dave@userland.com. Thanks! 5:38:29 PM

This post will go to DHRB and my Blogger site. 1. 5:36:02 PM

O Blogger can U C Me? 5:27:23 PM

Now I have the UI done. Inbetween phone calls and errand and reviews. I think it works. Hala. We'll see soon enough. Here's a random state just for good luck: Kentucky. 3:25:24 PM

OK, I'm starting up again on the Radio-Manila/Blogger connection. This post contains a macro. Hopefully you won't see it on the Manila site. The macro comes here: 28150. You should see a reasonably large random number there. Let's see if it works.

OK, it worked. It's a little tricky to process macros on the way out, but I've got it working. Jake and/or Brent will have to review this to make sure the rendering environment is equivalent to the environment used in upstreaming. I'm going to move on to doing the Web page that configures the feature. 10:52:47 AM
