Wow...this sounds great! Meanwhile, we have a new feature in the pipe for Radio and RCS that brings new ease of use and power to blogrolling. And get this, you'll be able to use it even if you use one of our competitors' products to edit your weblog. It'll be worth the $40 if you take blogrolling seriously.  [Scripting News] 10:28:27 PM     Comments[]

Got to start diggin faster! Tomorrow we're going to release a new tool for Radio that allows you to generate presentation slide shows authored in the outliner. I know everyone thinks I hate CSS, but I don't, I'm just a newbie. So if you want to help, take this slide, view source, and send it back to me (or post it to your weblog) using the most beautiful CSS rendering you can conceive. Then I can release the new tool with a fantastic CSS-based default template so everyone can be cool, me too.   [Scripting News] 10:25:27 PM     Comments[]

RADIO QUESTION I posted a book recommendation and checked the category boxes for 'BOOKS' and 'HOME.' All of today's posts that follow the book recommendation show up when you go to http://radio.weblogs.com/0100740/categories/books/ Does anyone know why? Does anyone know of a fix for all these posts that somehow got into wrong categories? I've double-checked and the posts were never categorized the way they appear right now! Thanks in advance! 6:43:07 PM     Comments[]

So, I'm Not Alone! I find it more than a little ironic that Nielsen's Top Ten Guidelines for Homepage Usability is actually painful for me to read. Why? First, the headlines are so visually overwhelming that it's difficult to focus my eyes on the body text. Second, the body text has no margins and thus there are so many words per line that it's difficult for my eyes to follow along the paragraphs. Usability and design don't have to be at cross purposes.

CLEVER DESIGN 2002 5K contest.   The 5K contest: design the coolest web site you can in 5,120 bytes. My favorite entry from previous years is the web color visualizer, which I still use. [dive into mark] 5:15:42 PM     Comments[]

Gratification Delay For some reason I printed this interview with Jeffrey Zeldman and didn't read it at the time. I'm not certain who pointed to it or called my attention to it. I read it during lunch today and actually understood a lot of it. It is one of those pieces that reinvigorates my desire to learn web design. 4:58:27 PM     Comments[]

Now here's a sentence! Simon Fell's Pocket XML-RPC is "an open source XML-RPC client COM component for the Windows family based on James Clark's excellent Expat XML parser and the HTTP transport from PocketSOAP." [Scripting News] Oh, to know enough to be impressed! 12:52:51 PM     Comments[]

Radio Question Say you post something to your weblog using Radio. At the time of the post you make certain there is a checkmark in the 'home' and the 'category 1' boxes. Later, you decide the post should have been checked for 'home' and 'category 2.' So, you edit the post, uncheck 'category 1' and check 'category 2.' Will this properly place the post in the 2 categories and remove it from the improper category? 12:16:04 PM     Comments[]
