This template reconstruction process is more difficult than you would think. Apparently others are going through the same struggle that I am. I just rediscovered this resource which I have overlooked because the title threw me off - thanks to Dog Newsie for pointing it out.

How to Create a Theme is a good resource for people reconstructing their templates. Even if you have no interest in creating a theme for others to use, this tutorial provides a useful checklist for home template, item template, desktop homepage template macros to include.

 I love the cross-posting feature in Radio (when you click on the Post button to the right of every rss item Radio will copy the item and author to your desktop homepage for posting). I try to edit these crost-posts before publishing them to indent blockquotes and correctly credit the original author.

Is there a way to tweak the code that handles the Post button's click action? I imagine this involves editing a form handler.

Radio Wish: [John Robb] Wouldn't it be interesting to have an RSS variant (new name obviously) for subscribing to personal contact data off of weblogs?  Name, weblog name, weblog location, physical address (or as much as you want to provide), spam free e-mail account location, IM link to username, location of RSS feed, Bio info, bio pic, resume, etc.  To a large extent this would replace my bookmark and e-mail contact list.  I truly think that weblogs are starting to become global 24x7 business cards.  This would help me collect them. Answer: [Kunekt] Kunekt Cards make your contact information available as an RSS or RDF (News) feed.

The viewRSSBox verb generates an HTML version of an RSS news feed, reading the service if necessary. This verb caches RSS feeds and re-reads them only if the cache has expired or the service hasn't been read.

Research question: can users hosting their weblogs on the Userland CS use this?

See Also: the viewRSSBox macro.

I just added a reciproll to my main template. Here is the code:

<SCRIPT language=javascript src="http://rpc.blogrolling.com/reciproll.php?u=http://radio.weblogs.com/0111198/&t=&max=" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

Finally, a working script that lists all of a post's categories. An article called  My First Usertalk Script should follow soon.

Radio wishlist: automated referers harvesting. Does anyone know of a simple way of automatically storing (or e-mailing) my list of referers every day just before they are reset, so I can look at them when I have the time?

• Trim Navigator Links.
• Figure out how to make a template for a category
• Edit category templates for WebDev, Photography, BookClub categories
• Find out how to list all of a post's categories beside its permalink.

That's enough for one week.

Radio Tip: By the way.  If you haven't set up a Web Service using Radio yet (and want to geek out for a bit), here is a simple tutorial on how to do it (DIY Web Services).  BTW, this is going to be huge in a couple years.  The ability to publish and consume Web Services within a desktop Web app is going to remake the Internet.  Mark my words.  It is a tsanami in the making.
