Preparing for the Switch

This is a test post to see what sorts of theme-ish things are broken.

I see my recent topics are gone. I can fix that later.

What has me confused is the relationship of RCS to the whole upstream thing. Is there a direct relationship between the RCS and the upstream method? I mean, Userland has this xmlstoragesystem thing that only works with Userland. Is it somehow related to the RCS?

My new hosting service is setting up their own RCS, but I'm still going to be upstreaming via ftp. So is there any reason for me to switch? BTW, switching the RCS breaks things. If you do it without knowing the consequences and need to get back here are the instructions.

I just read the RCS features and it says:

Implements the server side of Radio upstreaming, rendered content flows from your users' desktops through RCS to fast static storage. Far more efficient than centralized editing and rendering systems.

I take this to mean it is RCS that manages the xmlstorage upstream method. But would this then tie the weblog directly to the RCS account structure -- i.e usernum xxxx -- rather than a distinct domain? And if so, is ftp the only way around that? Which leads back to my earlier question -- if I'm using ftp does it matter what RCS I'm on?
