Personal Knowledge Publishing and The Outboard Brain
I forgot to post this item on the home page, though it appeared in my RadioFun category.
Mark Pilgrim has a new innovative use for RSS. He accumulates inbound pointers to specific articles on his site in an RSS 2.0 feed. It's so twisty it drives my mind crazy. In a few minutes this comment will appear in his feed. [Scripting News]
Yes, I'm an RSS bigot too. I confess. I'm an RSS bigot as well. I've discovered that Radio's news aggregator is at least as important as it's tools for editing and posting. I find that I can more than fill up my reading time with content in the aggregator. The first thing I look for in a new site is whether there is an RSS feed available. Second choice is to figure out how to use RssDistiller (or equivalent) to generate a feed I can route into my news aggregator. [Seblogging News]
CSS toggle bookmarklet. Scot Hacker passes this along, saying: "Very cool bookmarklet for web developers̬open this as a URL, then drag the bookmark icon to your toolbar":

I'm still working on the best mix of personal and professional items for this home page. Reading Sebastien's piece reminded me that I never posted a link to Cory Docotrow's "My Blog, My Outboard Brain", a good introduction to the concept of "public memory".Personal knowledge publishing and its uses in research. Sébastien Paquet has written an article about the rise of personal knowledge publishing. [Radio Free Blogistan]

I have been adding to my stories since my last update here.
- Blog Books directory of approx nine now.
- Blog Software directory now over one hundred different names there.
- Printed out, it comes to about 7 1/2 pages. Now until recently, my goals in building this thing were:
-
- List actual names of the software outfits, so that people can use search engines to locate them.
- Give links for ease of checking out their latest offerings.
- Give some info about what this outfit has to offer.
- Add any links to relevant documentation I may have seen any place else.
- I now have a 5th goal - I think I will split off the introductory material (first 2 1/2 pages) into a separate story, like I did with Radio Doc Sources, so that regular visitors can focus in on the actual one hundred or whatever listed.
- Blog Software MT and RU
- Radio Doc Sources
- About 55 listed, in which I periodically adding a few more links. Printed out, this comes to 8 pages with approx 175 links to documentation and other aids to understanding Radio.
- Radio url number system
- Search Engine Tips
- Understand series
- Understand News Aggregation
- Understand Radio Referers
- In the Understand series I try to lift the fog on topics that have been a puzzlement to many users transitioning from beginner to experienced in Radio.
