I just started a blog ,  and after a couple paragraphs,  I sit some key (I’m not sure which),  and my entire post disappeared (this happened in Radio’s editor) and ,  of course,  not uploaded,  so I lost the whole freakin’ thing.  It pissed me off, and so now I’m ranting about it.  So there.  Now I move on.

Is there a way to have Radio’s Home Page show list of postings to Categories,  so I won’t have to write an entry on the front page to inform readers that “an article about such and such has been added” to “x category” ?

Radio still won’t create directories via its FTP.  Why not?  I notice this whenever there’s a new month,  and Radio won’t create a new directory for the archives.  It’s driving me batty!

Borrowed from a Google User Group when I did e search in groups.google.com using: not “asp pages” A common problem when ASP pages do not display (but html pages do) is that the password of the IIS IWAM_computername user is not syncing properly.  Authentication/permissions to ASP pages is a complex area, but this particular problem is easy to remedy and, Continue Reading

Another request for ideas on why Radio doesn’t want to upload every morning (it takes about 4 or 5 tries each “session” — IOW,  it’s not just in the morning,  but anytime I haven’t uploaded anything in x number of hours—- see this post in my section on Radio Trials. My FTP client seems to have no problem creating directories.

my WeblogData.root file seems to be OK after the Data compacting process hung up when it hit this file..  at least from what I could tell by the dispaly in the Status bar of the Radio app.  It seems Ok becuase I went back and edited my very first Radio entry from June 2, 2002.  It all seemed to re-publish Continue Reading

I can no longer compact my data files (well,  all of them will except for WeblogData.root Each time I try,  the Radio app stops responding.

Let’s see how the old publishing speed is today with radio.  1,2,3 blastoff (10:23am by my pc clock….later,  10:28….still no post up on my site…..THIS is getting REALLY OLD……..10:36,  after posting the post that will be AFTER this one,  I see that this post finally got out here…..10 -15 minutes.  Not exactly stellar.  ) Well,  another problem (which seems to Continue Reading

When I moved the previous post in this section from the home page to this category,  Radio uploaded all the archive files since 4/10 again before finaly posting the index.html and rss.xml file for the  – My Radio Trials –  category.  Go figure.  The files had been put there as late as yesterday, so why the “reupstreaming”? 

Radio is up to the same tricks today.  Edit a post,  post to weblog,  no change to weblog (except that it sends the archive file into my/2003/04/19.html,  but still no new index.html for my home page.   Very cool.  This post didn’t go at all,  archive or index.html the first time I pushed “Post to Weblog” (as of 3:09pm).  (l2 minurtes Continue Reading

FootBridge has a few problems from where I sit.  When you “Edit” a post and resubmit it,  it re-sends another new post to Movable Type.  That won’t do.

Footbridge Doesn’t Seem to like my Category List. I tried it first with one Category (Cluetrain) and Home Page.   When I entered the parameters needed to send them to Movable Type,  the application (Footbridge) saved the CLuetrain settings but not the “Home Page” settings.  A Cluetrain categoryposting worked and appeared on MT,  but the Home Page entry did not appear Continue Reading

For days ,  my postings take an hour or so to finally post to my site.  Radio semes to have schizophrenic problems,  going back and re-posting archive files from 4/01 and forward,  even though those postings 2003/04/01.html through today,  have already gone out.  I turned off XML archiving,  and then turned it back on last night before hitting the sack,  Continue Reading

Finally,  archiving began last night around 1 am.  This was the third or fourth time I had turned XML archiving off  and then on again.  Right now,  I am looking at the asynchRPC in the status bar of the Radio application,  and it has shown “Writing XML version of post #1606 for the past 10-15 minutes.   My home page entry Continue Reading
