Posting To A Salon Weblog From Regular Radio

Here is a step by step tutorial on how to post to a weblog hosted on Salon's Radio Community Server, using Salon's theme, from a regular copy of Radio, as opposed as the Radio for Salon version.

This is a short extract:

What I am about to expose worked for me.
It will eventually work for you, though I will certainly not guarantee it, nor will I consider myself responsible if you mess up your Radio installation.
If you are experiencing problems, contact me through the feedback link on s l a m's home page.
Please do not bug UserLand with any problem related to this hack, they have better fish to fry.

If you elect to live dangerously, I hope you'll find my explanations clear enough. I think this kind of document makes a good case for the use of outlines in online Web tutorials.

UserLand / Salon Cross Posting Works

Success ! You can read this post on s l a m's regular home page, hosted on UserLand's RCS, and on slam in salon, hosted on Salon's RCS.

I'll publish a tutorial about this later, it involves some tinkering with Radio.root, so it's not for the faint hearted.

Second Attempt At Cross RCS Posting

I'm posting this item to s l a m's home page, as well as to the slam in salon" category, which is actually my Radio for Salon's blog home page.
