Sylvain Carle: Radio Userland 8

World's first RSS 2 feed
Note: my only intent is to demonstrate what such a feed would look like in the hopes that this will influence the evolution of RSS. I still feel strongly that RSS 0.94 should build upon a four year old standard instead of reinventing the wheel. Despite the unusual rss version number, namespace declaration, and additional element, this feed seems to be happily consumed by Radio Userland's News Aggregator.
Ah, nice too see N+1 can also be N.

La consommation de nouvelles en format RSS approche le point critique quant on se fait la remarque qu'un deuxième logiciel d'aggrégation serait nécessaire pour trier les sources "fréquentes/importantes" et les sources "garder l'oeil ouvert"... Amphetadesk est mon choix de rechange, dans le collimateur... (j'utilise Radio Userland et si j'étais plus souvent devant un Mac certainement Net News Wire)...

New Radio feature: monthly archives: This feature lets you maintain monthly archive pages for your Radio weblog. Monthly archive pages contain all of the posts for a given month, so your readers can scan an entire month of posts on a single page [Via lawrence's notebook]

BlogMD (bad name, great idea)
BlogMD is a new initiative, involving the author of this blog and loads of interesting developers including Cameron Marlow of Blogdex, to improve the interoperability between weblog software and increase the amount of metadata available on weblogs by defining some standard formats and APIs to transfer it around. et définitvement un besoin réel.

Tips & tricks for new Movable Type users to get a future-proof and search engine optimized site up and running. J'ai installé MT et j'utilise depuis queslques jours un blog parralèlle pour le teste et je dois avour que Movable Type est fortement candidat pour remplacer Radio/Manila comme engin de blog sur le serveur (mais je conserverais Radio comme aggrégateur de nouvelle et éditeur de contenu pour poster à MT, je teste ça la semaine prochaine, avec le Blogger API).

Jake's Radio 'Blog: Puzzled over Flash Text Editor

Here is an attempt to summarize (and help solve) this dilemna...

After some educational poking (nice code!) and considering that other demos on the sites have source code available, the best solution might be to simply ask the author for the source file (.fla) or ask for modification. Flash can do http post since version 4 with the getURL and XML.send (this might be of interest). Adding a simple button on this interface to do a http post a radiotype url (127.0.0.1:5335/whatever) is trivial.

Sending a non Flash version to a page can be done with some javascript coding or inserting code for the non aware browser in the noembed tag.

I am not a Flash developer but I am evaluating some similar tools for an application we are developing. Alternatives rich text input methods tat we are considering developer worthy includes products from Ektron (activex so it doesn't solve your problem), Edit-on Pro (java 1.3 so it works on Macs) and Xopus (almost ready)...

Xopus is the most promising (from what I gathered) but Edit-on Pro is a stable and tested solution available right now. A good list of thru the web (ttw) editors is also available.

Je taponne avec blogrolling.com ... intéressant, surtout l'idée de centraliser le tout... je pense aussi ajouter la liste de feeds RSS auquels je suis abonnés, question de partager mes sources...

Y'a un bugs pas mal énervant avec le Bridge Manila de Radio Userland qui me fait perdre tout mes posts d'une journée si je post un nouveau sujet après minuit... sûrement rapport avec l'heure différée de la Californie (ou est hébergé mon site Manila)... en tout cas, il y a pas mal plus de contenu à http://radio.weblogs.com/0001114/ que sur mon adresse principale à weblogs.com ... anyway, je pense à faire une sérieuse mise à jour technique pour les 2 ans de mon blog... d'ici octobre. Je vais probablement tout rapatrier sur un de mes multiples serveurs, sous mon nom de domaine afroginthevalley.com ...

Dive into Mark: Using relative font sizes
The general idea is that we're going to use font-size keywords. These are little-used (due to bugs in older browsers), but they have interesting properties... So we're going to use font size keywords to specify our basic sizes. And if we need finer control than that, we're going to use percentages, but only on leaf classes that contain text (so on "post", but not "main") to avoid compounding percentages. Wow, l'explication claire, complète et définitive que je cherchais depuis des mois... à rajouter dans le top 10 des recommendations du batracien...

JabRSS is a simple RSS (RDF Site Summary) headline notification service for Jabber. It is released under the GNU General Public License.

This site is here to keep track of how to interoperate with a number of 'blogging and CMS tools. Quite a few of them support various XML-RPC based APIs like the Blogger or metaWeblog API, and many store their data in text form alongside the posts, but which uses which method? And how do you export your posts from one to another? Un bon sujet à explorer, rapprochement à faire avec WASABII?

O'Reilly Network: What We're Doing When We Blog
If we look beneath the content of weblogs, we can observe the common ground all bloggers share -- the format. The weblog format provides a framework for our universal blog experiences, enabling the social interactions we associate with blogging. Without it, there is no differentiation between the myriad content produced for the Web. Premier article qui met le doigt sur ce que sont les différences principales du blogue: format, outils, communautée. Pas surprenant quand on sait que l'auteure était à la racine du mouvement, chez Pyra, créateur de Blogger.

How to create a directory in Radio's Outliner
Radio directories are open, because the format used to interchange directory outlines is open. It's called Outline Processor Markup Language, or OPML. People can and are producing OPML output from dynamic applications running in Perl and other net scripting environments. We encourage competition on both sides of this format, from outliners to dynamic server environments. Let's bootstrap a new structure for the Web, it'll be exciting if we can work together. Facile à créer et à maintenir avec Radio ou tout autre outil d'édition texte ou xml.

RadioDocs
Every great software product deserves great documentation. If this isn't it, it won't be for lack of effort... Un poit de départ incontournable pour les utilisaterus de Radio Userland (Hey Alex, tu l'as insatllé?).
