Thanks to Jake (again) the tracking script has been fixed so that it loads itself into the homepage, and the homepage only. Here's what he said:

Ok -- you can do something like this:

In your #homeTemplate.txt, add something like this:

<% local (pta = html.getPageTableAddress ()); if pta^.radioResponder.fileBeingRendered == (user.radio.prefs.wwwFolder + "index.txt") {return (file.readWholeFile ("path_to_your_JavaScript_file"))} else {return ("")} %>

Note -- you'll want to remove all of the line-endings that my email app undoubtedly added to the above, otherwise you'll get a macro error in your page. Also (obviously), replace path_to_your_JavaScript_file with the full path to the text file that contains the JavaScript you want to add.

There /are/ more sophisticated ways to do this kind of thing, and if you want details, let me know. But for a one-off implementation, the above will work well enough.

I feel a bit guilty that I've managed to have yet another solution written for me... but anyway, thanks Jake.

Mark Paschal also contributed to my understanding in this area. Thanks Mark. Radio users are generally pretty helpful to one another, it seems.

The other thing Jake suggested (this time in response to a query of mine on the radio-discuss board) was a way to make the default file type of Radio created text files that of BBEdit.

Actually, he provided a small script which again, just worked exactly as advertised. Pretty good really. Details can be found in his reply to my posting.

I've now managed to get the ExtremeTracking script inserted into my homepage. I was thinking up all sorts of fancy schemes, except that Jake suggested on the Radio-dev list that I just add the script to my homepage template. It works, of course. I feel a bit stupid for not thinking of it earlier.

One fish-hook with this approach is that I now need a different default home page for cetegories, as I don't want the script to show up there. So maybe I'll need to fix this at some point, so as to make future editing of templates and the like easier.

Using Mark Barrot's activeRenderer I've posted my website to do list as an outline here.

This is kind of cool, I think. If only I could get some of the other outlines I have on my Palm Handheld, in Shadow Plan, into OPML format... then I could do the same for them. I find that the Palm is brilliant for outlining - it's always close by when I have a bright idea...

The folks at UserLand have been busy again. (Hardly a day goes by without them adding new features to Radio.)
Jake's Radio 'Blog:

"How to create a Blogroll in Radio's outliner. A new macro, radio.macros.blogroll, makes it easy to manage your blogroll using Radio's outliner."

Thanks Jake... I'll get the hang of this shortly...

Oh... what's a blogroll (asks everyone else). It's just a name for a list of links, often posted on the weblogger's homepage, listing their favourite pages, other weblogs they like, news sites etc. etc. Good weblogs often have fascinating blogrolls. I haven't quite got mine working yet, so in the meantime have a look at Jake's.

It's taking longer than I thought, but I am finally getting around to migrating the old content off my ClearNet website on to this one. Finally, the Dry Stone Walls and Sumo stuff has appeared, with the MComms stuff to follow. Not forgetting all the Bella stuff, of course.
