“Want to post links to your favorite bands, write about your favorite songs? With Radio UserLand you can easily create and run your own weblog.”

Here’s how!

And here’s my weblog.

I’ve been working on a new feature for Radio UserLand.

It’s pretty cool. I can create a really simple weblog-type website in about 10 seconds — literally.

If I want my site served by a remote server, to which I have FTP access, I can get that going in about 25sec.

Imagine if I’d had this stuff when I was still working on J-Space! Life would have been so much easier…

Here’s a slightly out of date screenshot of an outline that contains a Radio UserLand weblog…

This has got to be one of the worst user interface elements I’ve ever seen:

This is Eudora 3.1’s way of presenting an interface for dragging a message from one mailbox to another. It’s a tow-truck. I’m supposed to know that I click and drag the tow-truck icon from a mail message to a mailbox window, and the message will be moved… Yeah, right!

I mean, the code works, but the UI element is a bug. I would never have known what it does if I hadn’t read the manual, and though I’ve been using Eudora 3.1 on the Mac for 5(!!) years, and love it dearly, I still don’t use the damned tow truck. What does that say?
