CheeseMistress Down!!

LeeAnn is ill. Her husband posted to let us know, but no details. Hopefully it's just inconvenient, and not serious.

We should all drop by and wish MuNu's Court Jester a speedy recovery, and offer all the support we can.

FYF

FYF has a problem in its template... several. And for the life of my I can't find them or how to fix them. So if anyone would like to try and fix it, Id be much obliged.

Just leave a comment or something so I can give you access to the templates. And if your worried about screwing them up, don't because I'm saving them.

T'anks (in advanced)

UPDATE Thanks Madfish, but while I solved a few problems I'm noticing more... And those are leaving me even more clueless...

Minx Update?

This post on Michele's site, ASV, reminded me of blogging platforms. I'm curious to know if the issues she addresses there, are addressed in Minx.

I'm just being a curious George this morning.

NuMuNu?

I got tired of looking at this same old basic white MT template... have been for some time... so I thought I'd do something about it...

I got my buddy Pam to do a neat banner image for us using the gold color that was already in the banner text. Then I ran that color through the disgronifier to get some different shades. Then I did a new stylesheet - a really subdued, yet classy looking design. Then I added some thingys and doodads. Then I put it up over at the MadLab.

Go look at it and see if it would be OK to use over here. I've got another gig I've got to work on starting Thursday, so it will be taken down Thursday am Texas time. If mostly everyone likes it and Pixy says OK, I'll drag it over here and put it up for the group.

If not, no big thang... I'll use it somewhere else. As a matter of fact, it looks really tough with a solid black background... maybe I'll use it as a skin or something...

Anyway, go check it out while it's still up.

I.P.Banning Question

By all indications, I have garnered my first troll. A complete asshat leaving the vilest crap in my comments. I banned the specific IP address a few of of them but that leaves a lot of other possibilities for the SOB to get in.

How do I block a whole range of numbers at once?

Here are a couple of addresses it has used
165.121.24.190
165.121.26.76
165.121.24.97

Thank you for your support.

So who understands this?

Lloyd Hannesson has a solution for caching your blogrols (if you are using blogrolling.com). It's a little tricky and requires a PHP extension (Cache Lite) be installed on your server. If you can arrange that then you should be in business. ---Kevin Aylward

Halp needed!

Okay, y'all. Time to bust out with those mad code skillz. I'm looking for a small submission form for Memeblog to make it quick and easy for people to submit their stuff. It would sit in the sidebar and the results would be emailed to a preconfigured address. The form would have four parts:

Field 1, text fill-in: Memename
Field 2, text fill-in: URL
Field 3, text fill-in: email
Field 4, drop down box: Type (Options would be Submission Reminder, Posted, Introduction, etc)

Fields 1 & 4 would be mandatory. Either 2 or 3 would be mandatory (both would okay but we need at least one of them for sure).

Can anybody help with this?

too much time already

I've spent way too much time looking for directions on how to make my blog a 3-column. I'd be happy to send anyone my stylesheet if you can quickly help me out. I would like my main content to be no more narrow than it already is, and I believe that should allow for having another column to the right at 200px.

Also, apparently my header is not visible on Mozilla. If you can tell me why, by looking at my stylesheet, I'd appreciate that as well.

Thanks!

About Me Page

I am using an old "About me" page from Blogger, and I want to update with a new one. Any ideas on how to create a new page that I can have a link to on my main index page?

MT Blacklist info?

Hey, I got a strange e-mail that said I had a comment on one of my posts. When I opened the e-mail, it was an obvious spam. I tried to MT Blacklist it an dit took me to a list of over 200 spam comments. I was unsure and overwhelmed so closed the window. WhenI returned to the e-mail and again attempted to MT Blacklist, I was told that I could not "despam" the comment.

Anyone?

P.S. The comment never posted to my site, I checked. It only came to my e-mail.

little help?

hey y'all. or Yay! y'all as the case may be.

I'm having a problem & I have no idea what caused it. When I click a permalink or a link to open the extended entry to a specific post on my site (Publicola) I get directed to a page that seems to be listing every post with the most recent one first. I tried accessing individual entries through the archive page & keep getting the same thing. Anyone have any idea on what causes this & how to fix it?

Thanks

MuNu Blogrolls - PHP Includes

Ace requested a cut and paste text listing for the blogrolls. I'm sure that the ecosystem counts the results from the javascript code, but just in case I took the scripts that Pixy did, modified them for a php include, and uploaded them to the MuNu site.

To get a MuNu blogroll in chronological order use this code:

<div class="sidetitle">
MuNuvians
</div>
<div class="side">
<?php include('http://munuviana.mu.nu/archives/mu.inc'); ?>
</div>

To get a MuNu blogroll in alphabetical order, use this code:

<div class="sidetitle">
MuNuvians
</div>
<div class="side">
<?php include('http://munuviana.mu.nu/archives/nu.inc'); ?>
</div>

You must have php extensions on your files for this to work. For the MuNubys, I think that your sites are set up as php. The older blogs would have to complete the conversion process.

Question for Pixy/Rob/???: How do you get the apostrophe to display in the blog names?

Hope there is a lot of feedback

Kevin Aylward is askin' for the good and bad before makin' a decision. We might all want to keep an eye on the comments on "Wizbang: WordPress vs. Expression Engine."

MuNuby Help - Colors II

I ran across a neat color thingy yesterday over at OfficeSlayer... that guy writes some pretty cool thingys.

This one is called Color Pallete

It will create 10 shades of the base color, located top-left, at varying degrees of opacity. The top row emulates opacity over a white background, the bottom over black. The opacity values are 100% opaque, 75%, 50%, 25% and 10% on the top row. The bottom row begins at 85% rather than 100% and continues on as the first.

Type a valid six character hexidecimal value in the text box above and hit the "ok" button. The "tool tips" for each swatch display the color's RGB components.

If you are trying to get a selection of the same base color, this is the tool to use.

While you are over there, check out some of his other stuff in the sidebar. I think it would be interesting even to the technologically challenged amoung us.

Stats

Is there a REALLY reliable and true statistics engine for number of visitors? Sitemeter, she be wrong.

And while I am at it, the links on TTLB and Technorati? They be wrong, too. There are a number of sites that have links to the pages I have checked that DON'T show up on TTLB or Technorati.

Why is that?

Still trying to make sure I always beat Jim of SBD.

Which, according to Sitemeter, I am currently not doing...

Subject : The domain tig.mu.nu (tiger) is about to exceed bandwidth limit

The domain tig.mu.nu (tiger) has reached 80% of its bandwidth limit.
Please contact the system admin as soon as possible.

Pixy, what do I do? I keep gettin' swamped with people lookin' for that Nick Berg video.

[UPDATE: I was so hopin' this story was slowin' down, but I got more visitors today than any of the other days. The only good thing about the whole scenario is that the number of return visitors is climbin'. 169 today, which is phenomenal.]

Comments Won't Remember Commenters' Personal Info?

Does anyone else have this problem? How do I correct it?

I know that a computer has to accept cookies; mine does, and my commentors tell me theirs do too.

Thanks. I'm sorry to just keep posting "how do I fix this" posts here.

Memeblog

Ladies and Gentlemen

I am very happy to announce the latest Munuvian kid on the blog block:

What is it? The idea is to have a central blog where all the various memes and carnivals floating around the Blogosphere can be collated and posted in one handy place. No more ferretting for the lastest Carnival. No more wondering where the Cheddar X went. There's a
sample entry to give you an idea.

Now it's your turn to help. This begging pleading grovelling request is two-fold:

1. Please post about this at your own site. With the mutlitude of blogs here and huge readerships this will guarantee the exposure needed to help make this work.
2. Please have a look at Memeblog and start sending in submissions.

If you have any comments, suggestions, ideas or you're keen to join in please let us (Jim or myself) know.
