Next we'll find them in WalMart . . . Blogs Officially 'It'.
Many people have declared blogs officially "mainstream," especially after the whole Trent Lott debacle, however, I have the definitive proof. From the January, 2003, issue of Ladies Home Journal, I bring you "Their Heart on Their Screen."
"Teenagers used to file first kisses and missed curfews safely under lock and key in a private diary. But today's tech-savvy teens are keeping a blog (short for Web log) or online journal instead. In essence, a blog is a form of personal publishing that allows willing diarists - sometimes anonymous, usually not - to create a Web page where they can share their stories in cyberspace, and update them frequently (there are now as many as 500,000). At livejournal.com, a blog home base, of sorts, the need to build a Web page or buy software is eliminated (users only have to sign up before letting it all out). And letting it out teens are. Says the site's supervisor and develope Jesse Proulx: 'Some kids even consider blogging a new form of therapy.' " (p.88) [The Shifted Librarian]

This has a lot of potential. If you have activeRenderer installed with your copy of Radio, you can experience the same level of integration within your web browser as you can using Radio's outliner. Take a look at my OPML directories demo. [read more] [Marc Barrot: activeRenderer]
Very nice as a tool of collaboration... particularly at the moment where I am implementing a MultiAuthors Radio process. But, Marc, what if I want to have the  icon as illustration of the directory structure ? [Gilles en vrac...]
