Radio vs Jive posting A little while ago, I experimented with Jive, a Java based forum discussion system with an open interface and a cool NNTP gateway. When posting to a forum from the web based interface, Jive has a nice Preview button that let me check the actual (embedded tags and all) look of my message before posting it. I'm missing this feature with the current version of Radio: I publish a first version, proof read the published version on the radio weblog, then usually edit the last message from Radio's home page since I'm prone to typos and tend to write in layers (not to mention my cat managing to click the Post to Weblog button before I'm finished).
I hope Dave and his crew will incorporate a Preview feature in a future version of Radio. |

Subscriptions display widget
Jenny Levine, the shifted librarian, has assembled a quick howto for integrating Jon Udell's subscription widget into a radio home page. |

Widget woes Jon's Radio pages feature a nice subscriptions widget that displays the list of rss feeds Jon is currently subscribed to.
Following Jenny Levine's illustrated howto, I tried to install a copy into s l a m ' s home template, with the unsatisfying result displayed below the calendar widget. I'll have to ask Jon if he has any idea since my present knowledge of Frontier scripting is close to zilch. [Discussion] |

Exploring Radio's features
Speaking of effectiveness, I've already spent almost 2 days trying Radio's rather diverse array of functions, meanwhile reading the whole (gasp) online documention. I tinkered with templates to give s l a m its outlook, and created categories to organize posts. I already have about a hundred questions in need of answering. I also have clients and servers in need of my attention, so my Radio fact finding story will have to wait a little more for publication. |
