"radio-q"Is there a way to be notified via email when someone posts a comment to one of my postings or when someone replies to a comment I've posted? [Andy Meadows: RadioFAQ] [Don W Strickland: RadioFAQ] Why be notified by E-mail?  If you use the YACCS comment feature (free from www.yaccs.com) you can subscribe to your comments as an XML feed and have it show up in your news aggregator.  That's what I do and it works great.  I don't know if YACCS has an E-mail feature, but I don't think they do. 1:16:48 PM

"radio-q"Is it possible to use the Manila-Blogger bridge to send just one channel to Blogger API site?   Someone asks "Is it possible to beam different channels to different hosts (it seems to be but I don't see anything like that in the Radio interface)? [Radio Free Blogistan] "radio-a"Rogers Cadenhead has figured out how to post categories to different channels. Paolo Valdemarin is doing it too, but I can't find the post where he talked about it."PhilPearson"   Okay, Rick knows how to do this, but he's on vacation til next Tuesday and won't be checking his Radio News Aggregator.  He told me how to do it, and I had this in an E-mail saved to use if I needed to.  You have to understand a bit about Radio, but I'll post this and let the others explain in more detail.  The stuff in bold is a variable that you create.  Here's the recipe: "You need to know the ftp username and password for your web site. if you don't have it, get it from whoever maintains your site. go to: http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=6.3 create a new password. name it "whatever" (no quotes). In the password boxes, put the *password* for your website ftp password. Now, create a text file in Notepad. It should read: <upstream type="ftp" version="1.0">  <username>[INSERT FTP USERNAME HERE]</username>  <passwordName>whatever</passwordName>  <server>[INSERT YOUR WEBSERVER FTP NAME HERE]</server>  <path>/news/</path>  <url>http://www.yourblogurl</url>  </upstream> Save the file as #upstream.xml in your category folder." 11:50:12 AM
