That raises yet another Radio fundamentals question. How are all these people who ”got it” so quickly with Radio able to remember the specific URL’s for the links they are putting into their weblog writing? Are they jotting links down on a scratchpad before composing something in their weblog?
If I wanted to link to www.scripting.com right here, but didn’t know the URL, how would I get it without losing what I’d typed above? The only way I know is to open another IE window, browse to where I want to be, note the link and come back here and type it in. Two recent attempts to do just that cost me what I had previously typed into this ”editing box.” What is this box called? It would help if I knew the terminology associated with all of this.
Finally, when I typed the link above, it appeared automatically. That’s completely different from trying to turn these two words, Scripting News, into a link. So far to go and so little time.
