upload template change.....why doesn't this link:

Back to <%siteName%>home page

appear in the template above?

I have it in templates.txt under myRadioTrials,  and I uploaded it! Why doesn't it work?  Why? Why? (ROTFSF -  rad "Rolling on the floor stamping my feet and having a tantrum, in my mind of course)

 So far, I really like Radio.&nbsp; It's taught me about News Aggregagting, about permalinking,&nbsp; about Templates,&nbsp; and some about Comments (I still wish there was a notification mechanism for when someone posts a comment somewhere in your weblog.&nbsp; If it's not right at the top,&nbsp; chances are I'll miss it for several days, weeks,&nbsp; or perhaps altogether).... <A href="http://blog.rssengine.com/index.php?entry=12">Radio Userland Feeds Found Lacking</A>. Well, the results are in, and the outcome isn't looking too nice for Radio Userland feeds. I have quietly ranted about the poor quality of the Radio's RSS for a long time, but now, it is time for me to come out of the closet. Over half of headline it...

"Jenny Levine" points me to two great RSS info sources -- one that covers events and news in the growing RSS arena, and a new source for over 180 custom RSS feeds.

Yeah, what <A href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0107808/">Matt Mower</A> said.<BR>from &nbsp;[<A href="http://radio.weblogs.com/0109150/">Blunt Force Trauma</A>]&nbsp; Blunt Force Trauma I've been told that there was no notification features for Radio site editors who want to know when and where a comment has been posted.&nbsp; It seems that since the discussion board Radio uses at <A href="http://radio.userland.com/discuss/"><a href="http://radio.userland.com/discuss/">http://radio.userland.com/discuss/</a></A>&nbsp;has this feature as a checkbox that enables<BR>"Receive direct responses to the message on this page via email."&nbsp; ,&nbsp; there should be something similar for comment posts.&nbsp;&nbsp; I already have,&nbsp; after just a few days,&nbsp; way too many posts to easily spy new comments,&nbsp; not to mention any attached to already archived articles. It seems that Categories need to be further integrated into Radio.&nbsp; It seems the only thing they allow you to do is post separate bliogs to it and create a separate News feed/xml file.&nbsp;&nbsp; They DO NOT,&nbsp; as far as I have experienced it or understood as of yet:&nbsp;&nbsp; Thery don't allow you to send mail that posts to them......they don't give you an index.html page like the Stories list does,&nbsp; and they don't ,&nbsp; as someone else here pointed out,&nbsp; have a separate stories list for each category.&nbsp;&nbsp; <P>Is there a ViewCategories macro that I can use for a categories root file index.txt?</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>right now I have one that has this:</P> <P>&lt;%radio.macros.viewCategoryList ()%&gt;</P> <P>&nbsp;which obviously isn't legit,&nbsp; cuz I get this when I go to it:</P> <P><B>[</B>Macro error: Can't call the script because the name "viewCategoryList" hasn't been defined.<B>]</B></P> <P>Is what I'm after something doable? Or better yet,&nbsp; has it been done?</P> Using the basic Radio template to make it belnd in with the Radio Support Area,&nbsp; I am uploading a Category to post my trials. tribulations,&nbsp; and joys concerning the use of Radio as a blogging tool.&nbsp;&nbsp; So far, so good..... <P>&nbsp;I just got an idea for another good Category (again,&nbsp; as I understand the proper or intended use of Categories,&nbsp; which may well be a "Newbie" misunderstanding),&nbsp; which is: My own Radio setup struggles and discoveries.&nbsp;&nbsp; I had my first "Comment" posted on the 7th,&nbsp; which went unnoticed by me ,&nbsp; and so I offer my first suggestion or item on my RadioWishList:&nbsp; a notifier for Comment postings (which may already exist,&nbsp; my being a newbie and all).&nbsp; Any such thing?</P> <P>The Category is there,&nbsp; but that poses another question or wish:&nbsp; Sub Categories and a "Category" Home Page.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway or add-on already developed?&nbsp;&nbsp; I also want a way to easily post the link (I have to&nbsp; guess based on the name of the Category, and remove the spaces.</P>
