Publishing Nightmare

I told Radio to re-publish all of my weblog and category pages. Oh, what a mistake that was! Radio's FTP upstreaming was being especially pathetic today, taking about 8 minutes per chunk of 25 files. It would have taken nearly 5 hours for Radio to re-publish my site at that rate. Can't have Radio hogging my CPU all night, my PC is supposed to be recording The Sopranos...

So I switched Radio to filesystem upstreaming. Thirty minutes to re-render everything, another thirty to rsync with my web host... Realized that I had messed up my nav links, repeat the process.

Thank you, Cygwin!

New Look

Back in March, when I first started using Radio, many in the Userland crowd were complaining that switching layouts from tables to CSS was too limiting and difficult. I set out to prove them wrong by converting the default Radio theme to CSS. It was nearly pixel-perfect on all CSS-capable browsers, at the expense of some "CSS purity."

These days everybody loves CSS, even Scoble is doing it!

I've got no attachment to the default Radio look. I started working on a fresh design months ago, and this slow Sunday afternoon seemed like an excellent time to finish it up and roll it out.

So now I've got a new look. It may be ugly, but it's my brand of ugly.

I've archived the old templates, just in case anyone wants them.
