On behalf of the Singapore Ruby brigade, I’m forwarding this to the Radiant mailing list. I’ll be doing a very brief introduction to Radiant at this talk. So, if any of you are in Singapore, maybe you want to come along and support my presentation, filling in the gaps where I don’t know what I’m saying… 🙂 Cheers Mohit. ==== Hi folks, Please take note of the details for the next singapore.rb meeting in Sept 2007.

Hi Sean, Thanks! It’s the first of what I hope will be 2 talks - this one will introduce the basics of how to use Radiant as a CMS and also give a brief intro of how to use the built-in Radius tags and, perhaps, how to add your own tags using extensions. I don’t think I shall go into the details of how to add a more complex extension (similar to the LinkRoll). The next talk - which I hope will be in Jan (if there’s any interest), will go more into extensions. Thanks for the support and all the help you’ve given me in getting me off the ground. I just see this as a good chance to spread the word 🙂 [Not sure if anyone here is _that_ basic, but I added a small entry to my blog on how to show the dates when creating a list of child pages - I’m piggybacking this info in this email cos the steps are so simple that they do not deserve a separate email of their own. The URL for it is: [http://notepad.onghu.com/2007/9/10/radiant-cms-showing-the-date-of-articles](http://notepad.onghu.com/2007/9/10/radiant-cms-showing-the-date-of-articles) ] Cheers, Mohit. 9/25/2007 | 9:12 PM.
