Blockquote styles

Hey all....

I checked all the help topics at right, but I didn't see anything related to adding a bit of pizzazz to blockquotes. Like, for instance, changing the background color of a blockquote, the font, etc.

Any hints?

Trouble Accessing Site

All day today I have had difficulty signing on to Movable Type and even viewing MuNu sites (mine and others). I was able to sign on this morning, but for most of the day was unable to. Just got on now after trying time and time again. Any ideas why this happened and will it happen again? I didn't go to work today, so I don't know if it's just an issue with my home setup. Thanks!

Unusual Spam?

I've received five comments, all on old posts, this morning from someone/thing calling itself "Shari Smith," leaving "http://www.google.com" as a site name, and stuff like this in the actual comment body:

9ffd3bce74633d1b6f269fd6d32b79d6

I love the look of hexadecimal in the morning! No, seriously: What is this and how do I get rid of it, save by manual deletion? I obviously can't blacklist by site name, email addy, or comment text . . . or can I?

Anyone else have something like this occur?

Multiple authors

Pixy and/or others who know the answer:

I'm thinkin bout adding some contributors to my blog. If I just add an author or two with permission to post to my blog, that's cool, right? That won't affect anything else happening in Munuviana, I don't think.

Let me know if there is a special procedure for this.

Thanks =)

C-Panel? What is C-Panel?

Ooookay.

Some two and a half years ago Pixy telled me how to upload mp3s. I remember about the FTP an' all, but I have no idea where to send it. Those emails are lo-o-o-o-ng gone.

Back in September I tried to get info on where to send an mp3 of a nifty New Orleans-y ditty that I wanted to play on my website, but, for some reason, never got a response. Now that Mardi Gras is underway, I would like to have this music uploaded. I emailed Stephen Macklin (since he's posted a few podcasts) to ask him where to send the mp3.

He told to go to C-panel, type in my user name and password and go from there. I went to the URL he sent me and typed in my usual .mu.nu user name and password but couldn't get in. I then clicked on the "forgot your password?" button and was told that a new password would be emailed to me. Nope. No email has come.

Soooooooo, what is this "C-panel" thingie of which y'all speak and how do I get there? I see nothing in the sidebar about it. Thanks!

Blacklist Meltdown.

It would seem that someone has blacklisted the entire English language AGAIN. It would seem they have taken the extra precautionary step of blacklisting the entire alphabet as well since a test comment of just the letter "u" was blocked.

I don't think I have ever actually blacklisted anything precisely to prevent causing something like this. Does everyone understand that the blacklist is universal to all of Munuviana and not specific to their individual blogs? If you screw up, you screw us all.

Please use the blacklist with care and caution.

Stress Free Blogging

If you have a Troll That Will Not Die, do what I did.

Go all Malkin on them and just shut off your comments.

And then, and this is the best part, check your sitemeter or whatever and laugh your ass off as they hit every post trying to find a way to comment.

You'll really laugh hardest when you realize they don't see your email address in the sidebar.

Oh, and I found a handy little tool in Cpanel, which I'm sure you all know about, that actually blocks people from viewing your site. It won't help with shifting-IP trolls, but it will help with treacherous family members.

Panties Destroyed, Part 2

Hey all,

Have been corresponding with the designer of my site, and she suggested that I ask if if when munu upgraded the PHP if they shut off global variables for php. I don't know what this means, but could somebody let me know?

I am still unable to get my site skins to work.

Or get any comments.

Ever so grateful.

Shameless Offer to Help MuNuers Increase Ego

A few of you may not know The Jawa's little super-sekret: any mu.nu post that I link will automatically be added to the Google News feed.

For instance, you write a post called Al Gore Wear's G-Strings. I link your post. Some one searches Google News wanting to know the latest about the inventor of the internet's panties. Voila, you've hooked a new reader.

It won't generate tons of traffic, but you might be able to piss some one off. And isn't that what blogging is really all about? The hate.

RSS Feed

Can anyone tell me where would I find my RSS Feed? Is it listed somewhere in the MT editing menu? Or is this something so simple I should already know this?

Mailman Weirdness

Hey Pixy,

ever since we moved to the new servers, Mailman has been behaving a bit oddly. I get notifications that there are posts I need to moderate, but when I go to the listserv, there's no message there. I get a reminder about 9 emails I need to moderate every day, but no messages. No archives to be found where I expect to find them. And so on.

Should I delete the list and recreate it, perhaps?

Blacklisting English

Something has gone awry with the blacklist. I seems somebody black-lilsted English. The entire language.

Objection!

I was alerted by a commenter that when she tried to post "How Funny!" to one of my entries, she was told this was objectionable content! She tried to say "Too Funny!" and that was objectionable! I went in and tried to say the same thing for a comment and got the same message.

This is new to me. Any ideas??

Trackbacks, yeah!

Hey Pix,

I don't know if someone's been working on the blacklist or what, but my blog is apparently, finally accepting trackbacks from BlahgSplat. So, thanks to who ever's been working on it (if someone indeed has been) =)

The Troll That Would Not Die

I have a troll that will not go away.

He's using proxies so he can't be banned.

I've set my close comments code to 1 day, and I just delete the ones he makes on the few open posts.

He thinks he's funny, making fun of my mother who has Alzheimer's Disease, with comments like this:

LOL the midnight foray with *my* gym teacher went real well, except eric's mom was there and we think she bumped her head too hard against the locker as Coach fucked her, cuz she can't remember it too well

It doesn't bother me that he's making fun of my mother, he's not saying anything that I haven't heard before in "Yo Mama" jokes.

But he is irritating.

So is there some other way to get rid of this turd that I don't know about?

Bloody Technorati

I gather from reading prior posts that perhaps Technorati's not favored around here, but I'm hoping for some advice.

In short, the stupid database thinks I haven't updated my mu.nu site in 86 days. That's obviously not true, and I can't seem to get the blasted thing to recognize that I have. I've got the auto ping configured properly according to their instructions (http://rpc.technorati.com/rpc/ping) and I've got the blog claimed at their site perfectly.

The only thing that I can think of is that they're not happy with me listing the URL as 'countrypundit.mu.nu', because I've seen it on other links as 'www.countrypundit.mu.nu'. Can anyone help me with this? I bet it's simple and being overlooked by me.

Hey Pixy, Help...

Hey Pixy,

Any update on the trickle post?

Thanks!

Hey Pixy,

I need some help:

Can I get you to turn on the "Trickle Post" for my blog? From this Post.

Also, can you take a look at this post on EllisIsland?

Thanks much!

RSS feeds in blogs? Howdidodee?

I'm not exactly down with this "RSS" contraption you darn kids are using these days.

::shakes finger::

I want to add a "newsfeed" that is auto-updated on both my MuNu blog and my Blogger blog.

I kinda like this one: http://www.humantraffickingsearch.net/

I tried to view their source code and just paste what they had but I guess it's not that easy.

Any idears?

Destroyed Panties

Hey, y'all.
I don't know what has happened to my blog.
My comments have trickled down to...none. I have made sure that my preferences are checked so that it should send comments to my inbox.
Also, none of my skins work anymore. We switched over, I think, and now they are NIL.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.
My panties will be grateful.
