Cleaning Up the Archives (#755)

I've just spent a couple of hours cleaning up old posts so my archive pages would work. I decided to go back through the old posts and have Radio generate weekly archive pages. So I started going back to each eweek and editing one post. But I found a lot my my old stuff was poorly formatted. I must have found a dozen or so open blockquote tags, which causes the indent to run on down the page to all the subsequent posts. I spent about an hour going through and checking all the archive pages, editing old posts, and republishing the page. Finally go it all cleaned up.

I also decided to start using Marc Barrot's activeRenderer to keep a collection of link pages. I used aR to create the Archive, MapInfo, and Presentations pages on the site since they're link-driven and keeping an OPML file seems the easiest way to manage them.

I'm really starting to like the Outliner. I've been using Radio for about six months and I'm only now getting the hang of it. This points out one of the problems with the outline paradigm -- it takes a while to get your arms around it. And I'm a reasonably thoughtful and computer savvy person, though I'm not a programmer. But working your way through all the idiosyncrasies of Radio, then learning about renderers, then learning about the Outliner is a daunting task. There is definitely room for some sort of training and support with these products. But they sure are nice when you begin to understand them and they work like their supposed to.
