Artificial Popularity: I feel kind of bad. I spent a fair amount of time today working on A Busy Writers Guide to Radio Renderers. It is a large story with several images. I kept reloading it in my browser to make sure everything looked the way I wanted it to while going through the editing process. I must have done this even more than I thought; enough to boost my site into the #34 spot on Radio's Community Server for a while. I am pretty sure there are not that many people actually visiting my site. 4:05:49 PM

A Busy Writers Guide to Radio Renderers is now available. Actually, it was sort of available yesterday, but still under construction. Jenny Levine, Steven Vore, and others inspired me to write this article. I hope it helps. 2:59:42 PM

Eldon Brown sent me an email to point out that category-specific stories do not carry the category's name or description in the banner. Eldon is right! I did a little digging around and have a nice quick fix.
To get the category name and description on your story banner edit your category's #prefs.txt file. There should be a #categoryName entry present. If not, add one (e.g. #categoryName "My Good Category"). Also add a categoryDescription directive (e.g. #categoryDescription "Everything You'll Ever Need"). Save #prefs.txt. Now edit the #template.txt file - you will probably need just one of these, shared across all of your categories (so plop it in the "category" directory). Look for the <%siteName%> macro. Change it to <%categoryName%>. Close by you will find a <%description%> macro. Change it to <%categoryDescription%>. That should do it. |
