a rundown of the steps I took to get Radio running on a home server...

-- Remote posting via web browser from anywhere

-- Remote posting using my news aggregator

-- Remote pref/template management

PyCS RSS comment feed help
Just got a question from Rogers Cadenhead about the PyCS comment RSS feeds. You can get lots of different types of comment feeds. This information is taken from Georg's PyCS RSS comment feed announcement mailing-list post.

The URL for your comment feed looks like this:

    http://www.pycs.net/system/comments.py?u=0000001&format=rss&full=1

That gives you a feed for user #1. Change the number after 'full=' to get various different types of data in your feed:

- full=1: a feed with shortened description elements (only the first 40 bytes)

- full=2: a feed with full description elements

- full=3: the same as full=2, but including all comments (the others only include the last 14 days of comments)

So if you want to download all your blog's comments at once, fetch with full=3. Subscribing to that might suck up a fair bit of bandwidth (I'd recommend full=2 for tracking comments in an aggregator), but if you need them all for some reason (changing comment servers?), use full=3.

Comment Monitor plus Trackback monitor!
Now here's something I've been wanting badly:

The Radio Comment Monitor can now be used to keep track of your trackbacks. Just put http://radiocomments.userland.com/comments$trackback as the comment server, and keep everything else the same, and you should see your trackbacks.

(For new readers, the Comment Monitor gives you an RSS feed of comments made on your Radio weblog. If you have difficulty keeping up with them, go to the Comment Monitor page and enter your comment server and usernum, then click the 'See your comments' button, and the 'Subscribe in Radio' button to subscribe to the new feed).
