That raises yet another Radio fundamentals question. How are all these people who "got it" so quickly with Radio able to remember the specific URL's for the links they are putting into their weblog writing? Are they jotting links down on a scratchpad before composing something in their weblog?

If I wanted to link to www.scripting.com right here, but didn't know the URL, how would I get it without losing what I'd typed above? The only way I know is to open another IE window, browse to where I want to be, note the link and come back here and type it in. Two recent attempts to do just that cost me what I had previously typed into this "editing box." What is this box called? It would help if I knew the terminology associated with all of this.

Finally, when I typed the link above, it appeared automatically. That's completely different from trying to turn these two words, Scripting News, into a link. So far to go and so little time.

OK...it happened again. I was typing something into this box, I opened another IE window in order to go somewhere to get a link that I could then attach to something I was typing here. When I went to the other site, I lost what I was typing here.

The junk I had typed was about my current frustration with not having a network for over a week, having an on-site Windows 2000 Server expert for 2 hours yesterday and now I don't have email.

I wanted to link to Dane Carlson's site as I thanked him for adopting me under the adopt a newbie plan suggested by someone esle. I can't go browsing for who that was because I lose this typing.

What a way to start a Sunday morning! Isn't technology wonderful? Where are my wooden pencils and yellow legal pads?
