  • Radio as a Content Management App

    Boldly Going Where No Law Firm Has Gone Before – I have been wrestling with the idea of making my law firm’s News & Events page of our website into a Radio Weblog.  The benefits are obvious (ease of posting, ability to add comments, XML feeds etc).  I mentioned this to Rick today in our…

  • Keith Olbermann on Baseball

  • Radio User Feedback Blog?

    Radio Wishlist – Far be it from me to wish for anything more from Radio.  Okay, I admit I’m overindulged and spoiled.  Nevertheless, here is what I wish for.  I would like it if Radio came with a default “category” called “Radio Questions.”  And as we all know, this implies a separate XML feed for that…

  • The Web As We Remember It

    This is a great site: dejavu.org. Pick your poison, then see a current web site through the eyes of the web’s first browsers. Wow.

  • Tracking Referrals: Part Two

    Update: I removed this from the site. Apparently it was causing IE6 to crash entirely… which isn’t quite browser-friendly. sigh Here’s hoping this shows up as a Radio macro so I can insert it into the site without any compatibility problems. Many thanks to Buzz, Ernie, Will, Jenny and Robin for chipping in to help…

  • Clap, clap

    If you’re testing and you know it, clap your hands. [The Peanut Gallery ] Will, many many thanks for your help. We’ll figure it out. 🙂

  • Tracking Referral Links

    My mission – to find a way for you, loyal reader, to know who’s pointing to this site. Why bother? The real value of the weblog medium is its transparency – if you’re reading this stuff, I can guarantee you there are at least a dozen others out there talking about similar issues. And wouldn’t…
