ALL THE EXCITEMENT IS OVER, BUT... I think this is my weblog neighborhood. I'm not sure what good it is now that no one is using or talking about this stuff, but here it is late. I'm also unclear as to whether this is somehow being kept dynamically or maybe this dates back to the last "gather." Ok, it dates to the date of the gather. Apparently the Events that the instructions refer to is not the link on the right hand side, but instead it is one of the choices in the menu at the top of your local weblog page - up there where Prefs, etc. are located. Further, that Events link takes you to an EventsLog that only shows the weblogNeighborhood link immediately after a "gather." So, all of my searching there today isn't going to do any good, because that link is gone. Were it there, apparently it would have been of the form radio.userland.com/usernum/misc/weblogNeighborhood.html or weblogname/misc/weblogNeighborhood.html. All of these are mere details to those who are lawyers, librarians or developers. To those of us lacking the requisite number of brain cells, those details made the difference in success and failure. 3:59:56 PM     Comments[]

WHAT IS RSS? The more I get into Radio Userland and the tools that come with this software package, the more I become curious about certain details. Today, it dawned on me that I didn't know or recall what RSS stood for. I found this site. As I've browsed the web recently, I've tried index.xml and rss.xml on the end of URL's to see if the site I was visiting had the RSS feed. I'm not sure why some sites turn their's off, but clearly they do because they are using tools that come with the RSS feed enabled by default. 2:27:02 PM     Comments[]

DESIGN IDEA SOURCES The Bloggys. Surprised when you saw the Webbys? I bet you were even more surprised to see the Bloggys! Yes, it's just like the Webbys, Oscars, Grammys, or any other awards thingy where you can vote for the best in different categories, except with blogs! And it's monthly! [C:PIRILLO.EXE] This guy's LINKS page doesn't even provide a link to Radio Userland. How lame is that? Maybe we can "skew" the voting! 7:14:37 AM     Comments[]
