Have you taken the UserLand Radio survey yet? As of today, 30% of those who have taken the survey want better documentation. I thought so. That's why I started and maintain Radio: The Missing Manual. Come and get it!

25%, including myself, have voted for secure ftp as their number one choice.

Admit it, you want one. You know, that cool little icon in your web browser address bar, just to the left of your URL. Well, I did too and now I've got one.

Here's how I did it. I took the following 32x32 graphic and opened it up in a graphics application.

I then shrunk it down to 16x16 and saved it as a Windows .ico file named favicon.ico. I dropped it into my images folder and Radio upstreamed it to my server.

I then edited my #homeTemplate.txt file, adding this bit of code in the HEAD section:

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" href="/images/favicon.ico">

(Note. The above was updated to include "/images". Thanks taterhead for catching the mistake!)

Republish the home page and now I'm somebody!

Digger is an aid to Radio users that maintain directories by helping eliminate "link rot." This condition is the result of websites or going dead, moving, or otherwise becoming inaccessible. Digger will look through your directory .opml documents and try each link. If it finds a bad link, it will store it in a table and display it for you when it is done. It is then up to you to determine what to do. You may wish to remove the link from your directory, or ascertain if it is simply that a server is down or inaccessible at the moment.
