More info on categories:

I just attempted 4 one-line posts that were tests:

    • Testing a post to 'leading it' and 'home' categories
    • Testing a post to 'career help' and 'home' categories
    • Testing a post to 'memphis' and 'home' categories
    • Testing a post to 'weblogs' and 'home' categories

None of these posted to their respective categories - I can't view those - nor did they show up on the home page!

Any clues? Oops...this post flushed the other 4 through to the home page. Who knows where the other "side" of the post went? I still can't see those 4 categories!

Category Crisis Update

After arm-wrestling with categories for the better part of two days, here's where we stand:

  1. New posts that are checked to go into these categories never show up on my public weblog:                                Formerly named
    1. Weblogs                     myFriends
    2. Memphis                     myInterests
    3. Leading IT                  myOrganization
    4. Career Help                myProfession
  2. A view of http://radio.weblogs.com/0100740/categories shows all the old "my..." categories plus it has wrong folder names where 'leadingIt' and 'careerHelp' ought to be.
  3. I cannot get to a category view of any of the above 4 categories.

Back to some more trial-and-error testing!

MORAL OF THIS STORY: DON'T RENAME YOUR CATEGORIES!!

All the Radio Newbies Graduated

From the outside looking in it appears that there are not many Radio newbies around any more. People are figuring out what to do with the tool, how it works and how to alter it to their liking.

I base this on the absence of email or comments from those who have had similar struggles to mine. I have no idea how or what caused my category problem. I simply know that it suddenly became evident when I started trying to create links on my home page for viewing posts by category.

It's also pretty apparent that the problem remains unsolved. Lawrence is working hard to help me, but we face challenges because I can't communicate about Radio in a sophisticated way, and I also can't read or see between the lines when he attempts to teach me.

Take a look at these two links and you'll see part of the problem:

http://www.theshiftedlibrarian.com/categories/ See how neatly her category folder list pops up. Those are her categories and they match the list on her home page.

Now look at: http://radio.weblogs.com/0100740/categories See those categories that say "my..." I've renamed those in every way I know how. Notice also that some of the categories come up looking like folders while others look like something else.

I don't understand what I'm seeing. If there's a tutorial somewhere, please point me in that direction.

I had to get out of there quickly. Too clean.  [Scripting News]
