Dave's Handsome Radio Blog!

Testing a new feature

This item has a title but no link. Since I have the new pref turned on, Radio goes ahead and links the title to the item using its permalink, so when people click on it they have the URL so it's easy to point to. Thanks to Jon Udell and others for working through this with us.

The same thing happens with the RSS for the weblog. Having specified a title but no link, it fills in the permalink, so people reading it in the News Aggregator will be taken to my weblog, to leave a comment or see what else is there. Screen shot.

Google-It! macro for Radio 8

Scott Andrew gave me a good idea.

He said that now that Radio has item titles, we can do a Google-It! macro.

He's right, we can. You can see it on this page. Click on the Google-It links where they appear.

Items that don't have titles don't get the Google-It links.

It's done with a new macro that you call from the Item Template.

12:53PM: The feature is out. Docs are here.
