I don't know exactly how TrackBack will help in this new Radio FAQ adventure, but if Rick is for it then there is a good reason, and I'm for it too.

Radio Static, Radio Silence. This morning Radio is stripping the headings off my posts (probably messing up the mirror too), and generating this error:
[Macro error: The file "08" wasn't found.]
Guessing that this has something to do with the change of month and the fact that Radio's been running continually on my desktop through several sleep cycles. I just quit and restarted the server to see if that will help. ...ok, that along didn't do it. I see that none of my posts today are streaming out to the Salon Blogs server. On a hunch I poked around my www/2002/ folder and saw that there is an 07 (month) folder, but no 08. I created an 08 folder (though I'm sure I shouldn't have to do that by hand), and now I'm going to see if posting works. If not, I'll restart the machine (maybe some handling component crashed overnight). If that fails, I'll have to get some technical support! [Radio Free Blogistan]

Upstreaming issues - No biggie, but I've noticed that occasionally I get this error in my "events" page: "Can't upstream because "Can't open stream because TCP/IP error code 10061 - Connection refused." At that point I know that nothing is going out to the server to be posted. My fix has been to close Radio and re-open it. Perhaps if I waited long enough it would clear the cobwebs and do its thing. I'll monitor this and report further findings.

Radio Wishlist #3 - It would be great if the News Aggregator would pick up the "permalink" information along with the other post information so that I could just "right click" and "Copy Shortcut" and have that information ready to paste into a link.

I'm all over this. This is what Rick and I have been praying for. Rick actually got it to work. I'm going to play with it this weekend and see if I can get the Law Blogs thing to work on my main page. Onward and upward!

Don Strickland has the same idea - here's what he has done about the "Radio Questions" thing -
"imo-open"I have an idea how to start this and I have the time and interest to moderate it. I've created a category on my blog; RadioFAQ. Here's how you can participate:
Create a category on your blog and name it Radio Questions.
Send me the url for Radio Questions on your blog.
I will ...
subscribe to your stream,
collect the quesitons,
post them to RadioFAQ in a standard Q&A format.
I will also answer the questions that I can answer.
Others can answer by sending me email or posting comments on RadioFAQ items.
I will clean-up the comments producing a clean stream.
Random color changes - A quirky headline thing. A while back I noticed that occassionally my headlines (which I format in Purple/Bold/Underline) would revert to Blue. At first I thought that I was forgetting to set the color to Purple, but now I have observed the phenomenon enough to know that it is reverting. Why it reverts I can't figure out. Any thoughts?
Later comes the likely solution -
Ralph Hempel @ 08/01/2002 10:00 AM. Ummmm, Purple Bold underline is what a visited link looks like. If your headline is a link, it will probably show up as blue bold underline. If you've visited the link it turns Purple. After a week, or whatever you've set the visited links expiry time to in your browser, the headline reverts to Blue. This is only true for the headlines that are also links. Hope this helps. Cheers, Ralph [YACCS Comments for Radio Questions & Tips]
