I want HELP! How do Shortcuts work?.... also , how do I get my "Stories" page to link to al the stories I have in Radio, and not just two of them?
Import stuff from other blogs and machines without axing what I have on the site it's being imported into: Is this kinda thing possible? I found two great tools today (Remote Edit, which works for me, and RSS Distiller, which does not as of yet, mainly becuase I must not have a clue as to what it really does)
Remote Edit (see http://radiotools.evectors.it) allows me to edit templates and stuff with Dreamweaver, which is great, but I get this error when I try to "Save Theme" :
I keep getting a "Macro error: Can't evaluate the expression because the name "flSameMachine" hasn't been defined." What's up widdat?......
Where do stories get linked to? I don't understand the "Shortcuts" list yet. Where does it show up? I tried putting the name of a shortcut in quotes, but nothing happened.....the text with the quotes appeared on the page

I just posted a note from the June 2 page, but didn't put it in an existing note by using the edit feature.....so it went to the top, on today's date. So I copied it, and posted it in the Edit Window under the one I originally posted on June 2nd. Now I must go and delete the July 6th post.
Now it's back under June 2nd (even though I really wrote it today) at this link (let's see if I can get this right)

I just tied an RSS distiller thing, using my home page as a sample. I wonder what this does, or if I even did it right. I probably have no concept of what this is really supposed to do, but I gotta learn, so here goes. Supposedly, this will take any items that fit in between the pattern and put it in a news feed, that gets added somewhere, and the where is the thing I don't know yet. And oh, yes, I installed RemoteEdit that allows me to use Dreamweaver to edit my templates.

Links for best bloging resources and tools------ What happens if I post this request and wait? Will people find it and mail or use comments? Or what?
(I do know about this one: http://www.lights.com/weblogs/tools.html The weblog Compndium Page for Blogging Stuff, and have been exploring from there)....

In search of the best cross-blogger poster, editor, local client thingy.
In messing with an array of Blogger tools, trying to figure out the best mechasnism for me, I am feeling almost overwhelmed. The tools for hosting seem too terribly geeky to me, who I consider to be a fairly sophisticated , developer-level skilled Web person. I have installed my first and second ever versions of Linux (Red Hat 7.3), but am stuck on getting my sound card to work, and even more lost on how to somehow get my TV Tuner to work. I guess I'm going to have to resort to Red Hat Linux for Dummies, cuz I guess I am in the world of Linux heads.
So, that being said, I am partial to Radio, since it is fairly easy for a beginner to understand the concept of local authoring and uploading to either Userland by default or FTP. I even experimented with cross-blogging to Blogger.com at theoblogical.blogspot.com, but thus far all of these wipe out every other post on whatever site you are uploading to.
Why? If it is XML based, and posts are posted by date and time, then why the heck does it overwrite everything? Am I missing something simple, but well-hidden? Why isn't there a "Post All" option to explicitly give permission to post everything, and better yet, a "Post All and Archive Existing" or "Post All and Replace Existing", so that all possible needs are addressed?

The 4th was Dad's 70th, and in thinking about this, I'm usually struck with the realization that I feel entirely inadequate at this stage in my life to where I pereceived Dad to be at the same age I am now. Example: the other day (on my 46 th birthday on May22) he mentioned to me that in 1978, when he was 46, he was helping me move in to my Semionary dormroom. No way! My son is now 13, and I am constantly agonizing over how little we have saved toward college, and how selfish I've been for every extravagance I've indulged in since the day he was born. And then I keep looking to the future and how I am going to turn this around and get somewhere that will enable to me to save more, and put away more, and invest more, and in general, be a richer person, or at least get to the level of comfort I experienced as a college student with parents who could (and did) foot the bill for everything.
