Okay, so I did a complete re-install of Radio after a some serious hard drive issues, and after much frustration managed to get back to some sense of normalcy. (For those of you who, as I did, back up your Radio folder to a CD, remember to remove the "Read Only" attribute from the folder and all its contents when you restore it to a new installation, or it won't work.)

I did lose the posts in two categories, Cubicle Dweller and Homebody. (The content is in the folders...it just won't show on the category pages.) So the heck with it...I've erased those categories and recreated them. I'll try and repost some of the older material when I get a chance. I also don't seem to be able to use TrackBack anymore - I get an error message instead of a TrackBack page in Preferences.  All in all, though, not as bad as the last time I tried re-installing (lost ALL the posts that time, although they remain on the Userland site.)

WILL SOMEONE PLEASE WRITE A BOOK EXPLAINING ALL THIS IN GRIM DETAIL???!!!

By the way, my money goes to Seagate from now on...excellent tech support helped me rescue a drive I thought was damaged. I had to reinstall everything on it, but I didn't have to throw it away.
