I just realized that there are a couple of things that Radiant, specifically comments, which is not that big of a deal since no one ever really commented on previous blogs anyway except for spammers, and there are plenty of services that can fill the void, such as Haloscan and Disqus. 

But the real deal breaker was the fact that I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of the cruft in the URI. Radiant defaults to posting articles as http://domain.tld/articles/yyyy/mm/dd/slug, when all I ever want is http://domain.tld/yyyy/mm/dd/slug. Being a little more familiar with REST, I can now begin to see the logic in adding something like ‘articles’ to the URI, but I’m still not sold on it. The yyyy/mm/dd part should be sufficient, really. 

Ironically, this was one of the minor annoyances I had with Typo the last time I used it although you could always kludge around it. 

Never the less, I find myself reinstalling Typo, now up to version 5.0.3, although trunk seems to be running reasonably well.
