Dave has just discovered the Flash of Unstyled Content. Luckily, there's a workaround. This, by the way, is my first post made by clicking on the POST button in Radio's News Aggregator. It wasn't as helpful as I had expected it to be. Why would I want to paste Dave's words into my blog without some sort of indication that it was a quote? My CSS-infected mind immediately selected the paragraph Radio had inserted for me so that I could select a "Quote" style from the Paragraph... list. Alas, Dave doesn't believe separating the presentation details from the actual content. Is Radio customizable enough so that users can populate those dropdowns at the top of your edit box with their own appropriately classed div and span elements? I doubt it but would love to be proven wrong. 1:37:13 PM    comment

This is my first post from a machine other than my home machine. UserLand was smart in not enabling remote access by default but it would have been nice if they'd followed RFC 2616 correctly. My first attempt at logging in from a remote machine resulted in a 500 Internal Server Error. That can't be good. Did I break something? It turns out that I didn't have remote access enabled. Shouldn't Radio have responded with a 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden instead? That would have been a great help in diagnosing the problem. 11:25:00 AM    comment
