I've had a Blogger Blogspot blog (say that three times fast!) for a few months now. But I've felt frustrated when I travel. I can add to my blog through an IE toolbar "Blog this!" button on my OS-X-running iBook, but I have no simple way to post long stories.
On the PC, I set up a site with CuteSITE Builder - a truly marvelous and unpretentious tool from Globalscape. But I've found no equivalent for OS X.
I'd been drawn to Radio, having heard for years about Frontier, and having been a long-time (and now long-ago) user of Dave's wonderful MORE outliner.
So I decided to dive in.
My first really dumb error was to somehow click the "Work Offline" choice under Radio's "File" menu; then I spent a long time scratching my head as to why it wouldn't Upstream or Publish. (Requested feature: When someone tries to Publish, a little window could pop up saying, "Remember? You are working offline." Or better: "Keep working offline?" with yes/no radio buttons.)
Then I couldn't figure out what happens to Categories or Stories, or how visitors are supposed to access them. (By adding "/categories/" or "/stories" to your blog's URL, it turns out.)
Dave's tutorials are very well written, in a powerful "don't-feel-stupid-when-you-goof-up-as -you-most-surely-will" way. And the questions I posted to the discussion group were answered kindly within minutes or few hours.
I'm excited about the possibilities of this environment.
