Adding a date to your Radio archive pages. Day 8 of Mark Pilgrim's "30 days to a more accessible weblog": Constructing meaningful page titles. Mark writes:
"Every page of your weblog should have a unique and meaningful page title... Date-based archive pages should include the name of your weblog, followed by the date (or date range) for the page... "Unfortunately, I do not know how to customize page titles satisfactorily in Blogger or Radio. Radio has a <%longDate%> macro, but it can not be used as part of the page title..." It's true that longDate doesn't work in the template, but there is a way to do this. Here's how: 1. Edit your home page template. 2. Find the line (probably near the top) which reads: <%local (d); if radio.weblog.file.getArchiveFileDate (radioResponder.fileBeingRendered, @d) {": " + string.dateString (d)} else {""}%> Note: be careful if you copy and paste this code -- there should be no line-breaks. 4. Click the Submit button. The next time any of your archive pages are published, they'll have a date in their title. There's no need to stick with the default date format. You can format the date however you want -- Just replace the string.dateString (d) part with your own code. See the DocServer pages for the date and string verbs for some places to start digging.
