WayWest Radio

Just when I get Radio back up to snuff, I'm going to cut out for a while to meet a book deadline. For all my books, click over to http://www.waywest.net/ When I'm back from the grindstone, I'll have some fresh posts on what I've been working on.

After yet another message from Userland that my license was about to expire, and another reply from me that my code wasn't working, I got an answer that solved the problem. Geez, it didn't have to be this hard, but it was.

Makes me like TypePad all the more.

No wait! Turns out I can get the darn software to accept my serial number--except it's not the "unlock code" number that comes with the confirmation-of-payment email. No, it's in another email that you receive before you pay up.

That kind of convoluted, anti-intuitive logic is exactly why I'm abandoning Userland's Radio. One should not have to be a geek to blog. Actually, it's not even that. It's that Radio never seems to work in a direct way, but always in some would-never-think-of-it-in-a-billion-years way that Userland veterans think is obvious.

So call me dumb. Ugh, good riddance.

Oh, sweetly now: my new (easy to use) blog is now at:

http://waywest.typepad.com/

See you there!

In pure frustration over Radio's determined clunkiness, I've switched to TypePad. It is so much easier to work with.

You can now find my current blog at:

http://waywest.typepad.com/

Please change your bookmarks to the new address, since I can't even get Userland to recognize that I've paid the renewal license to keep this site up. Given their level of customer service, this site may go dark even though I sent them the $40.

Pure frustration...

Thanks!
