Pocket Blog By the way, Pocket Blog is a very cool looking piece of software. Let's you blog from you PocketPC device. comment ()  8:29:07 PM  #   Independent Confirmation There has been independent confirmation of the MetaWeblog API (or, in this case the Blogger API) bug. The author of Pocket Blog has verified that posts with the Blogger API are making it to the Radio homepage but not the archives. So I think this is officially a Radio bug and I the ball is now very much in UserLand's court to fix it. The cool thing is that Radio updates itself automatically. So if they publish the fixed parts then all the Radio's out there will automatically fix themselves. By the way, my trip through the Radio code makes me think that this should be a very easy bug to fix. Probably a one-liner. comment ()  8:27:40 PM  #   Radio Bug Unless UserLand can tell me otherwise, I think I'm forced to believe that there is a bug in Radio with the MetaWeblog (and I think Blogger) API. Basically, if you post items using the MetaWeblog API then your main weblog page will update to reflect the new post. But your archive pages will not be published. The only way to publish your archive pages is to make a post via the desktop web page. This is a problem if you post exclusively with Radio Poster. You'll end up with a bunch of archive pages that are unreachable. Darn. I've left a message about this on the discussion forum. I hope somebody sheds some light on the problem. comment ()  12:41:27 PM  #   Radio Poster 1.5d1 I posted this with a development version of Radio Poster 1.5. The only difference so far between 1.5 and 1.0.1 is that I now pass true to blogger.newPost. Let's see if that gets my cloud pages to be generated correctly. comment ()  9:10:40 AM  #   I get it I think I just figured out why my pages aren't being generated on the cloud server. I'm not sure if it is a bug in Radio, but it's kinda Radio Poster's fault. Radio Poster does either a blogger.newPost call or a blogger.editPost call to post a message. At least for newPost, there is a publish argument and I didn't really understand what that was for. I've got it set to false right now. I bet that's telling Radio not to generate my archive pages on the cloud server in some indirect way. I'm going to have to try passing true and see if it makes a difference. comment ()  9:00:04 AM  #
