Radio Tweaking Day
I probably wasted too much time tweaking with my Radio Userland server today. On the positive side, I learned quite a bit about writing macros for Radio, most of which is rather conspicuously undocumented.

The navigation system to the left uses Dave Winer's drawLeftLinks macro. This reads all the links from an OPML file and writes all the code. This is much better than the default navigatorLinks and allows easy update and categorizing using separate OPML files.

In lieu of the Radio calendar (which I find rather restricting), I've started work on an archive system. Use the archive link to the left to try it out. The archive index is stored in an OPML file. The archive for each month is displayed using a custom macro that took me quite some time to learn and write. I'll clean this one up and post it in the near future. Maybe someone can improve the system further.
