Wooohoooo, I finally got three columns using just a style sheet. No tables, frames, etc. on this blog, thank you very much. Stop by and check out the new look. If enough folks ask, I'll even write up a HowTo on implementing this for any site.

I have a question for the Great and Powerful Pixy Misa: Does MT 3 have little shortcut buttons (like those for bold, etc) for font color and size? I've noticed that Typepad has them and (gasp!) so does Blogger and wondered if we could get them...

If you get the time to do it, please go over and fill out the feedback form on my site. I'd really appreciate it.

Thank you, and remember to enjoy your Free Frosty this weekend.

I finally got around to reading this post and cannot get it to work. Deferred category? Check. Category archiving? No idea. I've looked in the Category Archive and don't see where it gets turned on or off. I've created a post, assigned it to the category errata, with deferred as the secondary category. Saved-draft- and nothing happened. Of course I'm missing something; of course I am. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

EVERYTHING is running super slow on the mu.nu train tonight. Is there a specific problem? Or just too many of us at once?

Hello there!
I was wondering why the notifications don't work. I would like my blog readers to be able to receive notifications through e-mail when I publish a new post (and I'd like to be able to have this feature on my blog as well). I've tried adding e-mails to the notifications section but nothing worked.
Can this be helped?

Well, I think I have mangled my code as much as humanly possible, so if there are any MT gurus out there who would be willing to take a peek at my bit of Naval lint, and perhaps offer a suggestion or two as to how to correct any major errors in said coding I would be beholding to ya. I am getting blurry-eyed at looking at all the text/manuals/code...and am running out of Rum.

Ok, I was playing in CP panel and found a sleeze hotlinking to a pic of my beloved aunt when she was a young novice (using her as his icon on a music board with the name "runny canker"--yuck!). Since I had to turn off hotlink protection a couple of months ago when it forgot my "exception" list (and there are a couple of hundred of Alliance members using my logo image so I don't have time to reconstruct it) I did the only thing I could think of, which was change the picture he linked to by uploading a different picture and overwriting it.

Now, here's the problem: When I went to edit the post to explain the fact that the photo referenced was now something completely different, the edits would NOT show up on my blog. The picture is changed, but my explanation doesn't appear (despite the fact that I saved and rebuilt my site and etc.). So, apparently there is a time limit for editing posts? Can anyone tell me what the time limit is? And is there anything that will allow me to edit an old post?

Posted by: Susie at 04:36 PM | Comments (13) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

Old timers know about these but I'm sure our recent importees don't. You can have a "handy" URL for your blog. Especially for the folks with long URLs this can be very...um...handy. Here's an example of how it works:

My regular mu.nu URL is http://snoozebuttondreams.mu.nu/.
I also have a URL of http://sbd.mu.nu/.

You may notice here that "sbd" is way more convenient to type than "snoozebuttondreams". These two locators are completely interchangeable. http://snoozebuttondreams.mu.nu/archives/061784.html is exactly the same as http://sbd.mu.nu/archives/061784.html in every respect. They open the same page and handle everything identically. I use "snoozebuttondreams" for my official published URL but I've got "sbd" for when I'm tooling around my own site.

If you would like a handy URL just sound off in the comments here. If I set up your mu.nu blog myself I can get you set up lickety split. If I didn't set you up I'll forward your request to the Great and Mighty Pixy.

I have noticed that the RSS feed for my blog doesn't use html and also doesn't include linefeed etc. Is it the RSS templates that have to be changed, and if so can someone give me an idea on what to change it to?

Does Urchin work?

Posted by: Steve Janke at 07:15 PM | Comments (14) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

1 Yes, but...

We only have a 100-user Urchin license, and we have about 150 blogs, so it doesn't work for recently-added users.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 11, 2005 11:56 PM

2 On the other hand, I can manually assign users, so if some people want Urchin and others don't care, I can set it up to suit.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 12, 2005 12:05 AM

3 What is Urchin?

Posted by: Jim @ at May 12, 2005 12:21 AM

4 It's a commercial website stats package. It came bundled with the new munuserver.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 12, 2005 12:29 AM

5 Mostly I was just curious, after poking around cPanel for a while. Thanks.

Posted by: Angry in T.O. @ at May 12, 2005 02:49 AM

6 One other thing - Urchin is just something we happened to get with the current server. If we move servers, we'll still have CPanel, Fantastico, Awstats and so on, but probably not Urchin.

And since our traffic has grown by 50% in the past two months I am looking at moving servers again - this time probably to a small cluster. I have a nice option of three Athlon 64 servers lined up as a possibility.

Would it be possible to generate the blogrolls using the site URL from the weblog config? That way we could each have control over the how our own URLs appear in the blogrolls. This is important to me, personally, since it is different from the URL that I try to publicize, and Technorati can't figure out that my two URLs point to the same site (despite my efforts).

Someone left the following comment over at my blog:

Hey, just noticed that your site meter isn't on your individual pages so you are probably really undercounting referred visits!

Not sure how you would do that on your site, but you can probably figure it out. According to Right Wing News it will really make a difference in your count.

Is this person correct? And if so, how do I go about fixing the problem?

Thanks in advance.

I think Helen asked this a while back but I cannot find the post...

I would like to download some image files I've already got sitting somewhere on my site. I tried using File Manager in Cpanel and it has the subdirectory but I cannot see the actual files. Can someone please tell me how I can see the files in each directory and then download them?

Thanks.

Typepad have a feature that displays the last 10 comments in the following format:

Username on post title

It's great for keeping track of whether you have any new comments or if anyone has commented on a long forgotten post.

Does Mu.Nu have this functionality? Please don't tell me it comes under $MTRecentComments$!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

Posted by: Tris at 10:48 AM | Comments (13) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

1 Yepsolutely!

From the manual:

For example, to display the 6 most recent comments made on any of the entries in your weblog, and sort them in reverse chronological order (most recent first), you can put the following into your Main Index Template:

<MTComments lastn="6" sort_order="descend">
<p><$MTCommentAuthor$> said:<br />
<$MTCommentBody$></p>
</MTComments>

For each comment in the list of comments, the text and tags inside the container will be displayed. Each of the tags below are used to display a particular variable piece of a comment.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 10, 2005 03:28 PM

2 Great, thanks!

(I knew I just had to wait for Oz to wake up )

Posted by: Tilesey @ at May 10, 2005 08:59 PM

3 If any of you kids are keen:

<h3>Recent comments</h3>
<MTComments lastn="5" sort_order="descend">
<MTCommentEntry><br><a href = <$MTCommentURL$>><$MTCommentAuthor$></a> on <a href = "<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments<$MTTrans phrase="Comments"$>"><$MTEntryTitle$>.</br>
</MTCommentEntry>
</MTComments>

And this site is awesome for MT tags (as well as Pixy)

1 Lesbian?

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 10, 2005 06:40 AM

2 Fixed now.

What's up is that anyone can block spam using our shared blacklist, but sometimes people (accidentally or intentionally) end up blocking words that other people would like to allow. So it's a bit of a compromise.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 10, 2005 06:41 AM

3 Who can review the blacklist?

Posted by: Angry in T.O. @ at May 10, 2005 12:04 PM

4 All Munuvians should be able to review the Blacklist. The url is http://blog.mu.nu/cgi/mt-blacklist.cgi.

Posted by: Jim @ at May 10, 2005 01:31 PM

So, I'd like to reformat the way my archive entry links display. Specifically, I run weekly archives and use this code to display the links to the archives.

<MTArchiveList archive_type="Weekly">
<a href="<$MTArchiveLink$>"><$MTArchiveTitle$></a><br />
</MTArchiveList>

October 31, 2004 - November 06, 2004

I'd rather have it look like this:

10/31/2004 - 11/06/2004

I've looked for a way to do this, but couldn't find it. Any suggestions?

Eric

Posted by: EricC at 05:12 AM | Comments (10) | Add Comment | Trackbacks (Suck)

1 Have you tried using the date formatting options? I don't know if they work for the archive titles though. Something like <MTArchiveTitle format="%d/%m/%Y"> might do the trick.

Posted by: Pixy Misa @ at May 10, 2005 06:48 AM

2 I've tried that one and it just leaves me with a big blank spot where the archive links should be. I didn't think it would work since it wasn't mentioned in the manual. I actually did RTFM, amazingly enough.
