Posting a second copy of a post I was EDITNG and reposting in Radio FootBridge has a few problems from where I sit.  When you "Edit" a post and resubmit it,  it re-sends another new post to Movable Type.  That won't do. 12:07:56 PM    comment []

Too many categories for FootBridge? Footbridge Doesn't Seem to like my Category List. I tried it first with one Category (Cluetrain) and Home Page.   When I entered the parameters needed to send them to Movable Type,  the application (Footbridge) saved the CLuetrain settings but not the "Home Page" settings.  A Cluetrain categoryposting worked and appeared on MT,  but the Home Page entry did not appear on MT.  I wrote Mark Paschal about it,  after he was nice enough to reply quickly to me on my initial setup questions. Oh,  BTW,  A Frog in the Valley was the one who posted a comment telling me about Footbridge.  I wonder how many categories they work with? 11:38:37 AM    comment []

Radio Reflections For days ,  my postings take an hour or so to finally post to my site.  Radio semes to have schizophrenic problems,  going back and re-posting archive files from 4/01 and forward,  even though those postings 2003/04/01.html through today,  have already gone out.  I turned off XML archiving,  and then turned it back on last night before hitting the sack,  and this morning I see that most of the archiving happened --FINALLY ---but upon my first post attempt today,  Radio showed that it was trying to upload another XML file...but upon checking that file in its destination (C:Program FilesRadio UserLandbackupsweblogArchive)  ,  the file seems to have been completed.  I'll try turning archiving back on after I post this entry,  and hopefully it will go without a hitch now that Radio seems to have become agreeable again and posting things when I hit "Post to Weblog". Are there some FTP problems here?  I have seen no  difference in performance with any of my other FTP apps between the hosting provider I was previously using,  and the present one.  With Radio,  it seems to have problems posting to the same FTP site.  All of these problems seem to have started when I switched hosts.  But why does it do "partial uploads" (ie. posting the permalink archive file but not the index.html file? The main problem seems to be all the "cleanup" or "catchup" Radio keps thinking it has to do before posting the entry that I am trying to "Post to Weblog". 11:08:59 AM    comment []

Radio Seems to Be Clogged Again Finally,  archiving began last night around 1 am.  This was the third or fourth time I had turned XML archiving off  and then on again.  Right now,  I am looking at the asynchRPC in the status bar of the Radio application,  and it has shown "Writing XML version of post #1606 for the past 10-15 minutes.   My home page entry that I submitted has not yet updated.  This is why I am pleading for a first priority on posting weblog entries just made instead of placing these lower in priority than certain cleanup tasks Radio thinks it must do.  So....I'm going to post this entry now,  and see if that "unsticks" the writing of XML version of post #1606 (which is still showing as current activity)....maybe if I turn archiving off for a moment,  and repost? 10:12:07 AM    comment []
