Periodically I get email from new Salon bloggers who’ve downloaded Radio Userland and tried to post to their new blog, only to find themselves thoroughly confused by Radio’s innovative but initially hard-to-fathom “desktop webserver” approach.
Recently, rather than try to fumblingly explain what’s really going on myself, I’ve just been pointing people to this chapter of Rogers Cadenhead’s book “Radio UserLand Kick Start,” which explains how to start a Radio blog.
There’s more about the whole book here. By putting that chapter online Rogers has performed a great public service (since the documentation from UserLand is not as extensive as it could be). Thanks!
In an amusing side note, Cadenhead, who also has long maintained the “alterna-Drudge” site Drudge Retort at the “drudge.com” domain name, reports that his server was brought to its knees Monday by crazed Web surfers desperately turning to Drudge for their fix of Janet Jackson’s breast-flesh.
