What's the best way to move Radio UserLand over to a new computer? Without breaking anything. Yeah, I've read the "backup Radio" site, but that's not what I want to do. I want to move my entire Radio license, copy, and all the data contained therein, to a newly-setup computer. I can't get it to work. Any tips?[via The Scobleizer Weblog]
Well what I wanted to do, and have successfully achieved, is as follows (this isn't to knock Radio Userland which in my opinion is a fabulous piece of pioneering work in the weblog space):
- Migrate my Radio Blog Web to a Virtuoso Blog Server (it is a Web Log server that supports; Blogger API 1.0/2.0, Meta-Weblog API, Moveable Type, and xmlStorageSystem)
- Continue to use Radio as my desktop blogging tool, but also as the local blog server gateway for other tools that I use such as w.bloggar, FM Radio and Newzcrawler
How was this acheived?
- I had to reconfigure the Radio #upstream.xml file so that it points to my Virtuoso Server for xmlStorageSystem Web Publishing
- Publish my local Radio site, this time to Virtuoso rather than the Userland Community Server destination

End result is productive blogging, and reusable content storage in my Virtuoso knowledgebase.
