MT is Editing My Posts.

Pixy knows about this, so I suspect there's little to be done (because Pixy can fix everything), but basically my blog refuses to post anything over 8-10 lines.

So I'm writing what tends to look like blog haiku. But it's been about a week, and my frustration is starting to build.

Please help before I turn back to being a serial killer.

Happy Birthday!

We love you, Dear Pixy! (You finally turned into a teenager this year, didn't you?)

Using w.blogger

I am trying to pull my content from Blog-City to Mu.Nu. I figured out how to get w.blogger to pull down my entries from Blog-City. If I could set it up to post to my mu.nu blog, then I would be in business. Can I do that? It is asking for an api url in the configuration. Or the API server with servername, page and port.

For the api endpoint I have tried the following with no luck:
http://blog.mu.nu/bar/mt-xmlrpc.cgi
http://blog.mu.nu/cgi/mt-xmlrpc.cgi

Any ideas?

Blogsnot anti-censorship tip?

I don't know if anyone is still keeping up with this thread...but...

If you enclose the -body- tag with -noembed- and -/noembed- with "-" being "< and >", it will get rid of the toolbar....thus denying anyone the opportunity to censor "report" your blog content... just a tip.

Problems

I and my readers have had several problems with my blog. Repeatedly comments, trackbacks and uploads do not work. Individuals who have left comments before are unable to sometimes and even today when attempting to get the t/b url I was told 'forbidden-404'. With uploads I often receive a 'bad gateway' error message. Everything in the template is correct and all of the weblong configurations are as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Calling All Macintosh Munuveteers!

Zendo Deb is having a little problem with a post on the Cotillion, but only with people using Safari. My Mac has been in the closet since I moved house, so could any of our Mac users help out?

I have a post on the Cotillion at http://cotillion.mu.nu/archives/118595.php

It is a copy (nearly exact) of a post on my personal blog at TFS Magnum

I am told that the images are not showing up in Safari on the mu.nu site, but are showing up on the other site.

Everything is constructed using standard html anchor and image tags, with the align= prarameter specified.

Does anyone else with Safari see this and does anyone have an explanation?

Thanks everyone!

Deleting Trackbacks

Is there a quick way to pull up the trackbacks to my blog and delete the disgusting ones? I've gotten some really gross kiddie-pr0n TBs in the last day or so ("preteen bikinis" and "pedophilia erotic stories" are self-evidently ones that should be deleted).

Thanks.

Qumana blog text editor

Does anyone use the Qumana blog editor? I thought I'd give it a try, but when I go to configure the publisher it asks for "Host" and "Endpoint" -- and I don't know what to put there for Munuvia. This is the only direction I get from the Qumana User's Guide (scroll down to "Blog Settings" for potentially useful information). It obviously assumes a higher level of expertise than I have.

Thoughts, ideas?

Just One More Reason i'm Glad To Be A Munuvian

Blogger has instituted a quasi-censorship program.

When a person visiting a blog clicks the "Flag?" button in the Blogger Navbar, it means they believe the content of the blog may be potentially offensive or illegal. We track the number of times a blog has been flagged as objectionable and use this information to determine what action is needed. This feature allows the blogging community as a whole to identify content they deem objectionable.
This disturbing development is totally separate from their policy regarding spam blogs. This is much more big brotherish.

Blogger excuses this quasi-censorship by referring to the "Wisdom of Crowds" concept. That's complete bullshit. They might have an argument if they gave readers the option to designate a blog as "unobjectionable." But even that would be problematic, because it's always more likely that a offended person would be motivated to click on a flag than someone who's not offended by content. You're going to see a situation where hypersensitive people or those with intolerant political viewpoints will have a kind of "hecklers veto" on blog content.

This is a bad idea, and totally goes against what i thought was Blogger's most important asset, the total freedom it gave to its users.

Pinging Problems

I thought I set up Trackback properly but I'm getting this following error when I try to Ping:
One or more errors occurred when sending update or TrackBack pings. Check the Activity Log for the error.

Anyone know what the problem might be?

mu.nu back on Google News

Good news! After months of begging, Google News finally made The Jawa Report a Google News contributor again. You'll recall they yanked the site because of hate speech, whatever that meant.

Eh, so what, you say?

Due to a technical glitch at Google News, any post that is either linked at The Jawa or any trackback sent to my site by a mu.nu domain is also listed at Google News. Shhhhh.

Don't expect a ton of traffic, but a little traffic is better than none. So, if you think you have a post that's 'newsie', just send us a trackback and wait for the flood trickle of traffic provided by this unbias source of information.

UPDATE: In the spirit of let's screw those Leftist bastards at Google News I've linked five mu.nu blogs at today's Festival of the Fatwas. All other munuvians are invited to send a trackback.

Calling Any More Clever Code Person Than I!

OK, so even though I am a looooooong way away from New Orleans, I do still love the place and want to help. I've donated to a people charity, and now I've donated to a non-people charity. On the non-people charity, the ASPCA, they have a page to create a "donate" button (the ASPCA is way ahead of its time, really).

I want to link this picture:

120x240_katrina.gif

And have it clickable so that it goes to this page:

https://secure.hsus.org/01/disaster_relief_fund_2005?source=drfhb4


Only I am completely useless at code, and so have pasted the pic on my side with a clickable link beneath it. Is there a Code God that can provide me with the exact code I could paste on my site so that a person just has to click on the sidebar pic to go directly to the web donation page?

I would be most grateful.

So would Fido, I'm sure.

Thanks

Having theme music. Possible?

Is there a way to have an mp3 play automagically whenever my blog is visited? I've looked at the useful thingies list and don't see any info on this.

I found an mp3 of the opening theme to the movie Zandalee. Ever since I saw it on HBO, over ten years ago, I've wanted this music. I'm listening to again right now. It's very dixieland jazz New Orleansy 3-minute-long masterpiece and I'd lve to have this play on my blog. Can it be done?

Deleting Comments?

I just moved from Blogger where you could delete a comment on a post. There doesn't seem to be that option on MT. Am I missing something?

The Mu-roll

I went through the blogs that have been set up recently and found a couple that weren't on the Munu blogroll. Those are in now.

If there are any blogs that should be on the roll but aren't, please let me know.

Thanks!

Planned Outrage: Saturday 3rd September

Yes, kids, it's that time of the week again. Due to the failure of last week's outage (the replacement disk didn't work), we will be having another run at it this weekend.

Same time as before: 5AM CST Saturday. It's about the quietest time for munu, so hopefully no-one will even notice.

Unless things go wrong... Which never happens.

Katrina Blog Relief Day

Tomorrow, the blogosphere will attempt to turn its sweaty keyboards for good. Hugh Hewitt challenged bloggers to help suvivors by raising funds through blogging. Instapundit then suggested a date and our beloved NZ Bear will be Tallying the Results.

I and others will be auctioning/selling items in the hopes of raising additional funds for the hurricane victims. Please join us in this global effort. Thanks!

Hey, anyone know why Not A Desperate Housewife isn't showing up on the Munuviana blogroll? Stacy's been with us since January, i think.
