It wasn't pretty. My Radio started crashing on my hard drive big time about a month ago. So silly me, I thought I'd do a reinstall, so whatever was making it crash would go away.
And yes, I did back up my files. But something about the reinstall BROKE EVERYTHING. It won't recognize category files, archives. It is as if my blog lost its entire memory of itself! Wah!
Except the archives do still live up here on the server, where Google can find them. And tonight I manually had to restore the templates, because even just moving the templates into the correct space in the Radio folder from the backup files, Radio still wouldn't recognize them, EVEN WITH IDENTICAL FILE NAMES.
This just really chaps my hide. There is a lot to like with the Radio interface, but being dependent on folks outside your machine to activate stuff on the machine, especially when the documentation on restoring from backups is so thin, about made me crazy. I wish Radio all the best, but I am now investigating moving this site to a different server, and possibly finding a way to export the files, if I can, to later import into Moveable Type with MySQL, all in my own little domain.
Wish me luck! And if anyone knows a solution to my category and archive dilemma, I've really appreciate it.
