  Episode 20 - Radiant Snippets
  
  Snippets are small fragments of pages which get reused, but which do not need appear on every page. Two different Layouts can share the same snippet without having to copy and paste between them. As a Rails developer you could see them as rails partials, and in this episode you'll see how and why to use snippets to organize you code and reuse as much of it as possible.

  Episode 19 - Radiant Layouts Reloaded
  
  A few weeks back I presented three ways to make the best use of Radiant Layouts. The third was by using the Nested Layouts Extension. From the feedback I got, it seems I didn't show the full power of Nested Layouts, so in this episode you'll see the way I like to create, manage and use Radiant layouts, with the help of Nested Layouts and Stereotype extensions.

  Episode 18 - Packaging Extensions as Gems
  
  One of the new features in Radiant 0.9 is the ability to load extensions from gems. This screencast demonstrates how to package your extension as a gem, how to load extensions through config.gem instead of vendor/extensions, and discusses why you might prefer using gems over vendorizing your extensions.

  Episode 17 - Managing Site Structure
  
  When using Radiant out-of-the-box we're used to create, edit or remove pages. But most of the times this simple behavior is not enough. Most of the times we need to better control the order of pages, or to simply move or copy children to different places in the page hierarchy. In this episode you'll see Copy-Move, Reorder and Drag-Order Radiant Extensions, three extensions that help you manage the site structure
