When all was said and done

"Posting the tutorial in reverse may not have been such a good idea."

Changelog 2002.11.06.1356PST: Yep, the problem appeared to be a break issue around the figure in Step 5! It was obscuring the controls for Step 6 and hiding much of the copy. I tihnk it's ficxed now, so as promised I'm demoting this alternative draft of step 6, retained here only for historical and process-obsessive reasons.

Editor's Note: Radio is behaving strangely for me. In my desktop weblog home page, it appears that step 6 is missing, so I retrooled this postscript to replace it. Viewing the salonika page in Navigator, I see two step sixes! Something is out of synch. Just in case, for now I am keeping both. If it all sorts out, I may end up demoting this one again and restoring the original statement, "Posting the tutorial in reverse may not have been such a good idea."

6. Cross-posting to your new category (take 2)

Now, if you tell me about your new category, I'll ask you to post something to it so I can pick it up on my Radio aggregator (don't worry what that means).

So, post something to your new Salon blogs community category. How? Just write a normal post, and check the box for your new category.

Here's mine:
my salon blogs category checked

I then unchecked the Home Page category and posted this entry to salonika only.

Please feel free to let me know if this could be made any clearer or more helpful. Questions welcome! Thanks.


Editor's Note:This post was originally entitled "When all is said and done," and it read merely:

Posting the tutorial in reverse may not have been such a good idea
because I anticipated potential trouble trying to "play with" Radio's reverse chronology and immutable datestamps. Inevitably, I somehow failed to post step 6 after writing it (or, worse, somehow overwrote it with step 5). Suddenly, my ending quip (written first, of course), could now be drafted into yeoman service as a replacement version of step 6.

Link Rot: Periodically web sites die, get mis-published to the wrong server, their content simply reconfigured, mis-templated, or placed behind a pay to play barrier. Link rot is a big problem for bloggers. David Raynes has a great little tutorial for preventing internal link rot when managing a blog with Movable Type. Of... (Blogosphere)
Banner, Flag, Masthead?: Okay so now I need to understand a bit about the image you use as a masthead. Could you give a run down? It strikes me as very similar to something Malevich would have done.... (Editorial)
Comment spam daily: Does any one have any idea why someone would post a random comment on this blog featuring a link to fda.gov? Who would that benefit? It makes no sense to me. Once again, though, I feel compelled to acknowledge that Jay Allen's MT-blacklist rocks.... (Blogosphere)
Africa blogging: Over at BuzzMachine, I just noticed, Jeff Jarvis is linking to some blogs from Africa: Africa blogs: Since I'm a blog internationalist, often linking to Iranian, Iraqi, and German blogs, a reporter emailed me this morning asking whether there were blogs from (or about) Africa. I follow a few and I... (Blogosphere)
filchyfeed: OK, dude, I set up an RDF (RSS 1.0) full-entry feed featuring just filchyboy's posts to RFB. I also have begun cleaning up the sidebar, removing some of the old personal weblog affectations, replacing a bunch of the feeds from my outside blogs with feeds from each of our primary blogs,...

CSS, RSS, M-O-U-S-E: Re Blogistan Editorial: Headlines CSS? & RSS for Posters I am concerned though in that you mentioned a CSS way of maintaining classic "headline" style. I am most interested in how to do such a thing. Any pointers? Actually, I'm afraid this is wishful thinking on my part. I'm not aware... (Editorial)
