Announcing: "The RadioPoint Tool turns the outliner into a presentation authoring program."   [Scripting News]

A few notes on RadioPoint. As weblogs are showing up at conferences, it makes sense to integrate presentation software into the weblog software. Create your slides before-hand, link the presentation to your weblog so people can get a preview. No need to bring a laptop, just find a Web browser on stage, click on the link, and start talking. Next question -- can you control how they look? Yes, there's a template for all presentations, and any presentation can have its own template. I spent a full day working on the default template, studying ideas from the people who volunteered. It's CSS-based, but there's also a table. I hope people start exchanging templates. Paolo already has a template for people to use. Thanks Paolo, as always, a pleasure working with you.  [Scripting News]

A new macro and howto shows Radio users how to add a link element to weblog and category home pages, pointing to their associated RSS feeds. The equivalent feature is in progress for Manila.  [Scripting News]
