Blue Sky Radio  


Al Macintyre wishes:

When you are at the Radio Home Browser - look at  Top Command Menu ... all the way on right is HELP, then just before it is PREFS ... this is where we can tweak some rules regarding how our web site functions - each of the links has a brief statement on top saying what it is for.

Radio Wish - I want all those brief statements together on some reference page that I can scan down to find which preference it is (if any) that does whatever I happen to be looking for at a particular moment.

The Radio prefererences are jargon heavy. Newbie-friendly narrative, earlier in the tweaking process, drives better user behavior.

Blue Sky Radio   Radio Q  


I want to subscribe to themes that include advanced features, perhaps the result of macros, tools, or other software.

As a blogger:

  • I trust the theme's source to distributed working templates, macros, and tools.
  • I get updates as they occur. (without paying attention or learning about the plumbing)
  • I get improvements as they occur.
  • I can subscribe by category.

It makes it easy to conform look/feel/function. Teachers on a school site wanting to get the latest and best functionality ("New this month: Grade appropriate book lists from the library"). Or picking up a new style in my Girl Scouts category (theme of the month) from GSA headquarters.

Options:

  • Subscribe by category.
  • Preview and approve theme before applying, including disclosure of new code distributed.
  • Hands-free automatic updating.

As a value-adder (developer, designer, host, coach):

  • I have a distribution mechanism.
  • I can see who subscribes automatically and manually.
  • I assure new features don't break old designs.
  • I make it easy to stick to a standard where appropriate.

Blue Sky Radio   Radio Q  


I want themes that include advanced features, perhaps the result of macros, tools, or other software.

For example, I might want a "weather" theme that includes a web service showing a small weather forecast on my home page. Or that sticks Google links after each post. A theme designed for these features is pointless without the code.

So let me:

  1. Preview the bundle of theme and code components
  2. Download the package with one click
  3. Install them to the right places in one click
