Rendering PHP Files with Radio…

Rendering PHP Files with Radio UserLand. A Workbench visitor asks: How can I use Radio to render .php files instead of .html files when upstreaming? The file extension is determined by the #renderedFileExtension directive. By default, files are rendered with the .html extension. To set the extension to .php for an entire folder and its subfolders, edit the #prefs.txt file…

With Google News Alerts [1]…

With Google News Alerts you get filtered stories that can be posted to a cateogry weblog via a “mail-to-weblog feature.”  This in turn generates an RSS feed that can be subscribed to.  Simple.  This is going to be an ongoing thing.  Google slowly rolls out services they think they can control and end-users find ways to route around them.

Newsgator 1.3 (an RSS news aggregator) is out.  Nice Microsoft Outlook integration and support for newsgroups (an area of declining interest).  It does require that you download .Net (20 Mb). I suspect the next step with Newsgator is to add publishing to a weblog via e-mail (Manila, Blogger, and MT).  Despite what people say about MS Word, the primary text editor people use…
