The thing that I've not seen any one, on either side of the .RSS/Echo issue mention is that whatever flaws .RSS may (or may not) have, it's understandable by ordinary mortals, even Medievalists. Looking at the specs, especially the sample files, and a few people's feeds, was enough for me to kind of figure out how it worked, and even create a feed by hand. SOAP as far as I'm concerned, is not humanly parseable. Looking at a SOAP file doesn't really tell me anything.
I've moved to a new ISP/host, I've installed MovableType, and I've imported my old entries from Radio Userland. Then, I'll take a look at configuring and customizing templates and such. In otherwords, please bear with me while I figure things out.
I used W. Kearney's export.root, a plugin for Radio to create a text file that uses the Blogger API, a format MovableType can import. W. Kearney has instructions on his download page for using his plugin.
Next, I'll take a look at configuring and customizing templates and such. In otherwords, please bear with me while I figure things out. Thus far, it's been easier to install and configure MovableType than it was when I first tried Radio.
