I am starting to think about redirecting content to different servers based on which category I post to. My first test was to drop an #upstream.xml into one categories output folder. As expected, new files posted to that folder were rendered and posted to a different server via ftp. The only problem was that the image tags generated by the imageRef macro were broken. They were still pointing back to my radio.weblogs.com site. I need to dig into this to see what is going on. But I could always go back and use a different template with hard coded images. I can see this working with a few tweaks and bit of digging. My holy grail of being able to post to different Manila sites by categorizing them shouldn't be too far away. 10:51:29 PM     Comment []

Garth Kidd is looking into outline rendering, stating: It'll become particularly important when someone figures out the fine detail on how to edit OPML in the browser. [Garth Kidd: DBS - Radio Internals] A trick that I have found when toying with this is to first convert the opml into an xml-table (Frontier and Radio have verbs that do this). Frontier and Radio can render data in tables much faster than in outlines. This is especially important if you have large, complex outlines. 9:21:25 PM     Comment []

I tried to post yesterday's macro as an "in-page" macro like Dave describes in Going Crazy with Macros posts. But I couldn't get it formatted nicely. Any suggestions? The macro as written, is probably too complex for a in-page macro, but you could simplify it quite a bit. 9:16:12 AM     Comment []
