Radio url number system

Home Number

  • Al's Radio home url is http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/ 
    • The digits at the end are based on Al's account number with Userland.
    • Be careful .. notice that some replications of account number lack leading zero.
    • The system is designed for future growth.
    • To subscribe to my stuff, via Radio News Aggregation, the url is
  • When we are on our PC desk top, what we see is http://127.0.0.1:5335/
    • Let's be careful when we cut and paste stuff.
    • We want the public address given out to the public.
    • We want the desk top address for navigating internally.

Stories Navigation

  • Al's Radio home url is http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/ 
  • In our Browser window add the word stories to the end of that.
  • http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/stories/
  • Going there gets us to a directory of stories that Al has added, in reverse date sequence, then we can click on any one of them.
  • http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/stories/2002/07/16/blogsWorthRevisiting.html
    • And here we are at one of Al's stories.
    • The user only needs to know the home url and how this works.
    • As you find interesting Blogs worth revisiting such as some I have listed in my Link Services or as you Understand Radio Referers, be sure to take a look at what stories that weblog might have to offer.
  • Thus we learn that anything that gets posted, as a story, is not private.
  • If we want a story to be private, we have to learn how to keep it unposted from private desk top work area to publically accessed web site.
  • From Top Command Menu select Shortcuts and scroll down to the bottom.
    • This is a reminder that as you get a lot of Stories, you may wish to review their naming in alphabetical sequence, and here's how to get that.
  • See my story on Radio Wishes, with respect to the Events Log.
    • When my Radio Application is running, I can see my Events Log from the perspective of my PC from http://127.0.0.1:5335/system/pages/eventsLog
    • Is there some place that other people can see what I have just posted to my site from the perspective of the server?

Categories Navigation

Exploring Archives

  • Al's Radio home url is http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/ 
  • In our Browser window add 2002 to the end of that.
  • http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/2002/
  • Going there gets us to a geeky screen that does show that I have posted stuff (so far) to the months of 05 06 07 08 of the year 2002, then we can click on any one of them.
  • http://radio.weblogs.com/0107846/2002/08/
  • Going there gets us to another geeky screen that lists all the days in that month (so far) where I have posted something, then we can click on any one of them.
  • And here we are at the postings for that date.
  • The lesson from this is that a navigation method is available, but it says NOTHING about the subject matter of the content.
  • We still have to evolve methods to map our content for easy site navigation.
  • There have been some posts in the Radio Discussion List and other documentation services about that ... check out links in "Understand Radio News Aggregation"; and Understand Radio Categories.

Anything Else this works for ?

  • In Microsoft Windows Explorer (or whatever a body uses for navigating stuff on a PC),
  • Drill down (my path might diverge a bit from other folks setups): C /
  • Program Files / Radio Userland / www
  • Note what fits into above logic,
  • which correlates to what we know that we have populated.
  • I have not yet done anything with My Picture Images for example.
  • I had been contemplating putting my Computer Myths document into Gems.

Other relevant stuff

There are other articles and outlines that Al Macintyre has written that try to explain the basics in the same way as this one, or should be helpful to beginners transitioning to getting comfortable with how to use this software.
