Adding RSS feeds to Radio -- Comment()
I added about a dozen new RSS feeds to my Radio subscriptions. This is rather easy in Radio, so perhaps some of those subscriptions will go after reading them for a while. I browsed the RSS feeds of some of these new subscriptions, and noticed that quite a few were dissatisfied with the Radio software. Many have noticed that Radio behaves sometimes unpredictably, working strangely for a while and then coming back to normal. Some even had decided to move elsewhere, to Movable Type for example. I haven't had too much trouble with Radio, but perhaps I will be a bit more careful with this software. It would be nice to access the weblog from other machines in addition to my iBook. On the other hand, having the whole collection of weblog posts locally on my machine is not so bad either. But now I have to do all the backups and maintenance by myself.
