Adam Curry is doing a feed he calls SyncPod to help developers adapt aggregators to work with enclosures. Scott Johnson says Feedster will have a special report listing all feeds that support enclosures. Now that I have more free time, I'm going to tweak up enclosure support in Radio. There are some serious problems that are relatively easy to fix. Jake, please note. [Scripting News] 9:19:42 AM

Picking out the gems. Adding Waypath Referencing to My Weblog. Summary: A chance to scan weblogs that also deal with the same topic? Useful, helpful, even to the writer who in some real sense discovers the subject after having completed the effort. But useful, certainly, to the reader who found the blog entry through, say, Google, and then has some Waypath located blogs to follow. Lilia got Waypath to work for her. Waypath plug-in installed. I wrote earlier about Waypath Radio plug-in, but didn't have time to install it. I did it today - check my homepage to see how it works (I'd like to play a bit more with styling, but this is for another time). Let's see if it survives in my templates :) [Mathemagenic] If you see some links below... then it will have worked for me too. ;o]} [Connectivity: Spike Hall's RU Weblog] Waypath looks interesting.  They claim to have over 8 million posts in their database which is a lot.  It'll be interesting to see how this develops and how often  they pick out the gems from among that lot :-) [Curiouser and curiouser!] 10:00:28 AM

Note:  to publish any PowerPoint or Word doc to my Radio weblog, all I have to do is save the file as a Web page to Radio's WWW folder.  In a couple seconds, the files are uploaded.  I click on the link for the uploaded document in Radio's "events" page (on the main menu) and it takes me to the link I can use in my weblog.  Simple.  Given that the doc is both on my desktop and up at my site, I get an automatic back-up as part of the process.

Rendering PHP Files with Radio UserLand. A Workbench visitor asks: How can I use Radio to render .php files instead of .html files when upstreaming? The file extension is determined by the #renderedFileExtension directive. By default, files are rendered with the .html extension. To set the extension to .php for an entire folder and its subfolders, edit the #prefs.txt file in that folder and add this line: #renderedFileExtension "php" Here's an example: the xmas.txt file and the xmas.php page it produces. To set the extension only for a specific file, add the same line at the top of the file along with any other directives. Leave a blank line after the directives and before the content of the page, but don't put blank lines between each directive. [Workbench] 4:40:10 PM

Speaking of backups, Radio also has a way to make sure you don't loose your weblog. Stop by http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/prefs?page=2.16 and take a look. I keep the first box, "Check this box to have Radio back up new or changed data every night" checked and have the location set to a directory inside the afore-mentioned "My Documents" folder. That way I end up with a tree full of XML, always updated. If Radio were ever to completely die, another tool could read it a rebuild this entire site. [Steven's Notebook] 11:21:53 AM
