I want to add Steve's googleJuice stuff a bit later today. Radio evening: lessons learnt. Today Radio didn't behave well again, so I spent some time in the discussion group trying to figure out what to so. As some of the exchanges went back and forth I just summarise them here.

At this moment there are no simple "how-to" instructions, so check the discussion (make sure you read everything before starting :) Steve also developed some other tools for Radio: backLogAllRSS - fixes some RSS problems and allows creating RSS archive of your weblog radioEditThisPage - adds editing buttons to your public weblog googleJuice - creates one post per page archives (see my feedback after testing) diaries - adds calendar with future activities to your weblog (example) Btw, Steve was very helpful answering all my questions and his company also offers services in developing corporate blogging (so you know whom to ask :) [Mathemagenic] 8:03:16 AM    comment []

Read this review of "The Social Life of Paper" to understand how sloppiness is more than it may seem to be. 2:13:24 AM    comment []
