I gave a presentation to our local Ruby/Rails meeting the other night, so I thought I’d post the slides here in case anyone is interested. It’s pretty basic stuff, but it might help some who are new to Radiant. ---

I like the fact that your first slide gives the version number of Radiant. It’s just a small thing but inevitably install instructions and the notion of “behaviors” are going to change. – Alexander H. [http://www2.truman.edu/~ah428](http://www2.truman.edu/~ah428) ---

Fantastic overview of Radiant. Do you have a url for it? I’d like to write a post about it on the Radiant blog. – John L. [http://wiseheartdesign.com](http://wiseheartdesign.com) ---

That was excellent Nathan!, The best Radiant introduction someone could imagine. (Even if Radiant is simple, a fresh start is always a bit difficult). I could host the PDF on my site (just a link, no official website to post more info). If that’s good with you, will post the link here (already uploaded it, waiting you approval).

Hi, your presentation was great and would have been a good introduction for radiant users, like i was one a few days ago. I hope there will be some blogging about this. Bye, Tino ---

Hi everyone, sorry for the long hiatus between posts … life and work stuff, you know? Thanks to everyone for being generous and hosting my little presentation on their own servers. If any of you are going to be at Ruby Conf look me up … I owe you an alcoholated beverage of your choice. So, without further ado, the final home of this thing: The blog post: [http://blog.brandalism.com/2006/10/4/radiant-presentation-at-derailed](http://blog.brandalism.com/2006/10/4/radiant-presentation-at-derailed) The download link: [http://blog.brandalism.com/assets/2006/10/4/radiant\_cms.pdf](http://blog.brandalism.com/assets/2006/10/4/radiant_cms.pdf) * * * In case anyone is wondering why I’m using Mephisto for my blog instead of Radiant, it’s because I believe in using the right tool for the job, and while Radiant’s blogging support is cool, I really wanted something that will someday have XML-RPC support. ---

Currently they are not available on any live site. I’m in the process of taking the changes that I had made to an earlier version of Radiant and porting them to 0.5.2. I _hope_ to have this done in the next few days/week along with diffs and instructions on how to make the changes. A lot of the WYSIWYG stuff I included was done at the 11th hour for a client on about zero sleep, so I’m having some trouble remembering exactly where I put everything 🙂 If there’s a lot of call to see a live demo, I could probably put up the version that I currently have so that everyone could take a look at it. ---

Nathan, That is a great presentation. I was fortunate enough to attend the “live” version. The demo of your modifications to Radiant was very interesting. I really liked the changes to the Backend administration with a site tree to select links and WYSIWYG page editing. It would be great to have Admin plugins like that in future versions of Radiant. See you at the next Derailed. Bryan [Http://www.BoulderAnalytics.com](Http://www.BoulderAnalytics.com) ---
