How do I import from Radio to WordPress

I've been looking to be in total control of my weblog for some time, and finally found the host that had all the things I needed. Now I'm looking to import my older Userland Radio Weblogs to Wordpress.... Does anyone have an import tool that could import my Radio Weblogs into Wordpress? Hit the comments button below or email me at hellomarylu*AT*gmailDOTcom.

Thanks!

Radio As A Movie - A Prairie Home Companion the Movie


"Every show is your last show in radio." Garrison Keillor


My passion is still radio and broadcasting. After years of having my ever-widening fanny planted in front of an Avid, editing movies and shows, I can rarely watch television or go to the movies. While many people I know can spend countless hours in front of the tube or at a theater, I honestly don't enjoy watching them. However this week will be an exception. With Robert Altman directing and the story by Garrison Keillor about a live radio show that has survived television—we are off to a good start.

A Prairie Home Companion, the movie opens tomorrow. I intend to plunk down my $10-12 and be there to see it. I may even spring for popcorn.

Why would I go to this movie you ask?

1. I'm Midwestern and damn proud of it.
2. Birth infused me with the broadcasting gene. Which means, I remember when we did live television and radio shows at home everyday.
3. Garrison Keillor is the writer and emcee for the movie; he is also the real talent behind NPR's A Prairie Home Companion radio show. His humor comes from the heart. He could read a local phone book and make it funny. Where I come from Garrison is what we call "real talent."
4. I know where St. Paul, MN is-- and I've actually been there. Same thing can be said of the Fitzgerald Theater.
5. Over the past 30 years of the PHC radio show's existence, I’ve been to more live performances of PHC-- than I care to say. The same could be said of my devotion to listening weekly.
6. Then there is the central theme of the movie I can relate to: A large Texas Corporations (smells like Clear Channel to me,) buys the theater and this is their last show.

Add to all of these reasons and throw in Lily Tomlin, Meryl Streep, Kevin Kline and Woody Harrelson, and the entire Prairie Home Companion Band. It can’t be all that bad!

Stolen Sidekick - Net Justice


Wouldn't it just be easier just to GIVE IT BACK???

Imagine if you will; A woman in NYC accidentally leaves her Sidekick in a cab. Somebody else finds it and was dumb enough to use it-- THEMSELVES! However, the Sidekick has a few extra features not known by everyone, but in essence the Sidekick knows all. The women who owns it with the help of some friends, IM's a message to the phone: REWARD IF FOUND etc... and since the Sidekick has some "interesting features" which includes the ablility to download everything from the TMobile servers, which included the thief's pictures and AIM handle, email and the entire list of every phone call she has called.

A friend of the women has posted a lot of info about the theives. Read more about the Stolen Sidekick. It's a wonderful way to eat up a little time this morning AND reminds me not everyone is as honest as most people are.... Ask Doc and me about the things we've lost and had returned. Jeeze. Oh for the entire story and bunch of other things you probably don't want to know... Google This

Just when you thought it was save to go swimming in the gene pool... someone should have added a little more chlorine!
