Jim Roepcke has a list of “old school” Frontier users who have set up Radio sites. I guess I fit in this category too–I still have Frontier 4.2.3a running on all my Macs at home and at work. Radio’s reasonable price tag has made me think seriously about buying a Userland product, something I never thought I’d do when Frontier was being sold for $900!

It looks like the cliché about “third time’s a charm” applies here. I tried a third posting this morning, thinking that I would send a bug report if it didn’t work–and it worked! All three postings I’d made so far now appeared, so I guess that whatever was wrong was fixed overnight.

It appears the initial post didn’t appear on the public page, so I’m trying again to see if I have more luck. It may have been a problem caused by my router with its annoying built-in firewall, so I checked the “behind a firewall” preference.

I’m trying Radio 8 on an experimental basis. I’m not really the sort of person who has a weblog, normally, but it’s an interesting technology to play with. I’m particularly interested in whether it would work with a Newton acting as the controller. I’ve done some experiments like that before with other weblog tools, but in the past it didn’t really work.
