myRadio: generalized aggregator tool for Radio #

Can this tool be a prototypical basis for our "Teacher's Box":  This Tool extends the Radio Userland aggregator from rss to any networked data (xml, html, soap, personalized services, etc), and any layout. It is exceedingly simple for developers to add functionality to the framework. The GUI (screenshot) is reminiscent of My Yahoo! and other server based personalization tools.  Mikel Maron, the author of myRadio, points to some feedback that he has already received about the tool.   Posted by Raymond Yee on 8/13/02; 1:08:29 PM from the Web Technology dept.

opmlBlogroll macro in Manila #

As a way of getting back into the technology of blogging, I'm finally getting around to having an OPML source for my blogroll.  I'm kinda keeping two blogs right now:  my Interactive University Architecture Lodge (the blog you are reading right now) and RY's radio blog.  I'd like to have the same blogroll for both.  The solution I'm adopting is to have one source:  an OPML file (a type of XML) which can then be rendered on my two blogs via the opmlBlog macro (on my Manila site) and the radio.macros.blogroll macro in Radio. Here's my blogroll -- which I should now migrate to the left hand column.  It also needs a good amount of updating and inclusion of a lot more people and sources...
