Blue Sky Radio  


From Al Macintyre:

Resize the edit box.

  • Pull on sides of Home Page Editing Box to make the size more harmonious, like I can do with many Windows Application boxes within boxes.

Help me manage my work in progress.

  • When I have Posted something but not yet Published it, some icon flag color indication on my desk top editing area that tells me THAT post has not yet been published, or that it has been edited and posted, without the final version published yet.  Also put some counter near top of home editing area to remind me how many posts are in that condition.

Help me Navigate through my Categories.

  • Top Command Menu include Categories.  Or perhaps make this a menu selection in the Cloud Links Status area down right side.
    • When I click on it, would take me to something structured like Stories.  A chart of all my Categories, like the Categories Page.
  • Calendar addition of a phrase to tell us which Category we navigating through.
    • Use Calendar to navigate through posts to a particular Category post on a particular day, or that of the Home Page.
    • When I learn how to have Navigator Links to my Categories, on right side below the Calendar, I would like an interconnection between Calendar and Categories.
      • For example, suppose I am looking at Calendar for posts made to Home or a Category for Aug 20th.  I might want some icon to appear beside some other Categories to show that THEY also had some posts on THAT DAY.
      • Or, suppose I am looking at Calendar for the month.  I might like some indication associated with individual days to show that there were posts those days for categories other than the home.
      • Perhaps an expanded chart available that shows week horizontally and categories vertically and in the spread sheet intersections are links showing that for that day and that category there was one or more posts.  Click on the link to get to them. [A cool visualization of where the author's attention flows over time.]

A great collection of links to Radio documentation, tips, tools, experts. I keep finding new, juicy things and ripe, proven resources. High editorial value. Thanks, Al.

I'd like to see accomodations for audioblogging. A few requests:

On collecting audio attachments.

  1. Tune my maximum receiving size. Let me set the maximum file size for downloading by channel or time of day. I'm on a
  2. Harvest during quiet times. Let me prioritize audio attachments lower than other Radio harvesting behavior, so upstreaming and other downloads come first. 
  3. Support download resumption.
  4. Support alternate formats. mp3, au, ra, wav, QuickTime, etc.
  5. Support playlists by downloading the list then downloading the mentioned files.

On presenting and playing attachments.

  1. Show file sizes and play times.
  2. If a syndicated attachment is over my set limit, let me override and queue it for download.
  3. Let me play a post's playlist.
  4. Create a queue of audio posts, so I can listen to all my audio posts at the same time. Perhaps by generating a playlist file and launching it.
  5. Create a flag that shows if I've listened to an audio post. I can then delete or save flagged posts.
  6. Let me specify a maximum folder size for all the syndicated audio enclosures.

On composing audio posts.

  1. When I post, check if the file size or file types are not permitted by Radio. If so, tell me before I post. Without this verification, the post's text may point to a missing attachment.
  2. Convert sound attachments to file formats and resolution consistent with my preferences and other restrictions (like maximum file size).
  3. If the file format permits, copy post metadata (title, date, url, author, description) into the sound file itself.

Now where's that microphone...
