Continuous improvement of our Radio communication efforts, in Al's opinion, requires mixtures of:
- Writing Skills in general ... which we can learn by practicing good examples set by others, such as Novelists, Journalists, and successful Technical Writers.
- Learning broad range of capabilities of Radio, and the relevant vocabulary, then using them effectively, such as links to context, to more detailed stories, and include objects across spectrum of what's possible.
- Alison Fish has been teaching Al Macintyre how to do Images and Permalinks, but not enough has clicked in Al brain yet.
- The learning curve at getting better and better at these tools for me has been:
- Past: Get comfortable with Stories, Shortcuts, and simple links.
- Now: Delve into more advanced links and objects we can connect to our web site.
- Next: Become a student of Radio Outlining.
- Know laws and etiquette.
- Be very careful in quoting not to permit any confusion regarding who said what.
- I have a Radio Wish that a future version of the Radio editing box can have something for us to click on that we could use a particular style for quoting a particular person ... person A B C in a body of text.
- For the moment, just break new paragraph QUOTEs around whoever source.
- But I want to learn how to mix it up ... Person A said this, but on the other hand Person B makes a good point, and it is crystal clear what was said by ME, A B etc.
- I think part of the problem is that we are accustomed to using double quotes when quoting someone, but double quotes have a special meaning in Radio, so we need something else when making it clear we are quoting someone and who.
- Be sensitive to the needs of a broad spectrum of people visiting our web site.
- Understanding how to best use the medium.
- Knowing the subject that we are sharing our opinions on, and being careful to distinguish which of our words are backed by experience and when this is just our uninformed opinion.
- Other topics on Phil Wolff's great lists.

Al struggles to learn Permalinks within the same document.
[Blogfish] QUOTE
The sample code given in the original post HTML 1-A Lesson: Anchors was incorrect.
The pound signs # should be used in the links to the anchors instead of the anchors themselves:
| Before, Incorrect: |
| Link to the anchor: |
How do we enable categories? |
| The Anchor: |
#enablingCategories>How do we enable Categories? |
| After, Correct: |
| Link to the anchor: |
How do we enable categories?
How do we enable categories?
|
| The Anchor: |
#enablingCategories>How do we enable Categories?
How do we enable Categories?

UNQUOTE [Blogfish]
I tried the earlier lesson in Understand Radio Categories. It did not work. I thought it was me. Back to school with Al student, Alison Teacher. Assuming Al passes the class, what Al has learned will need to go into Al's documentation series to help the next person on this learning curve.
My anchor is the same as what it was except I took the color out, because I have sometimes had troubles combining links and colors - I prefer to let links be standard hyperlink colors.
For my link to the anchor, I used the Create Hyperlink editing bar and in there put #whatever that corresponded to the anchor. It still not working, so student not yet getting it. I had previously read documentation on permalinks and tried this several times before and not got it. It could be me, or it could be the documentation. I figured that if I worked on other stuff on the learning curve then returned here periodically, in some future visit it would finally click in my brain.
