Let Me Be Perfectly Clear
4 February 2002
Let me be perfectly clear about my prior rant(s). Radio 8.0 didn’t get in my way; ignorance did. I agree with every comment that states how easy it is for a novice to begin a weblog with Radio. That’s true.
What isn’t quite as obvious is how one goes slightly beyond the basic weblog you see here into the realm of a personal web site with lots of attention-grabbing content.
It is also a bit unclear as to where all the links come from that you see at a place like this. I think he sits down to a Radio Weblog text box just like the one I’m typing into. Further, I believe he types his own comments and builds the links into what he is typing. Apparently, he jots down the URL for the places he wants you to go and then sets those up using Radio’s link icon at the top of this box. I’m guessing now and my guesses are based purely on my own efforts to discover these features.
My network is now up and running. Only one machine left to be rebuilt. Email is back. Surely, this week will permit time on Radio. I want to learn it.
Models for my site are these - Carlson & Curry - with liberal doses of other weblogs you’ll find at these sites! By the end of this week, I want a theme/style/look for my site and that will allow me to begin building content into it. I’m told that I can’t change the look of the site without losing all the links that I may list down one side of it. So, first things first – let’s find a look!
