More Entries On a Page

This is probably very basic but how do I enable my blog to show more entries on the first page? It's only showing a couple of days worth of entries now.

Thanks!

MuNuby Help - CSS Previews

Wouldn't it be cool if there was a thingy or doodad that we could use to preview our site tweaks before implementing them? Right now we make a little change, save the file, rebuild the index, view the page... and over... and over... and over...

Well, wish no more! I've found a couple of neat little utilities that will let you preview your changes in real time without making permnent changes in your stylesheet.

Both of these utilities are from slayeroffice.

This first one is called CSS Preview. A text area and a div - enter your CSS, hit the preview button and see what it will look like.

The second one is called Style Sheet Tweak Favelet. It will let you take the current page, select a div from a drop-down menu, make a change, and preview the page in your browser. It only changes the display, not the actual stylesheet, so you would have to copy / paste your values into your stylesheet for the effects to be permanent.

I haven't tried them out yet, but they look interesting.

The Snooze is open. REAL open.

I'm in class today and tomorrow. I'll be wandering by the computer through the day but definitely won't have time to work up any decent posts. Instead of having a Crappy Post Day two weeks in a row I figured I'd ape some of the more successful bloggers and have an open microphone day.

There are only a couple of rules that you need to follow:

  1. Make sure to use a title on the post and put your name in parenthesis at the end. Example: What I learned in class today (Jim Peacock)

  2. Use the "SnoozeBob" category. That's going to be the general category for guest posters. Nothing like simple and easy to understand category titles to help folks navigate the site, eh?

  3. Don't do anything that will get your ass permanently banned. There are no hard and fast rules for this because a goodly portion of my readership are clever and evil and if I made up rules or guidelines they would take a savage delight in finding loopholes through them. Just don't do anything remarkably and intentionally stupid or malicious and you'll be just fine.

Here's the particulars:
Login URL
Account: SnoozeBob
Password: password

All y'all that already have accounts that can post here, feel free to use them or post using the SnoozeBob account. It's all good.

BEGIN!

PS - In case you've forgotten what he looks like, here's Snoozebob!

PSS - Munuvians will need to log out as themselves in order to login as SnoozeBob. It's that "logout" button at the top of the MT interface.

MY BLOG! MY CRAPPY CRAPPY BLOG!!!

Where is it?! I thought the Munu server might be down so I came here and here it is. I clicked to a few other blogs on the blogroll and they work fine. But where is Blather Review?! Gone?! N-n-n-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!!!!!!!!!

UPDATE: Well, this is int'resting. When I accessed with IE it came up right away. But whenever I try to get to it in Mozilla I get the message:
The file / cannot be found. Please check the location and try again.

And this is not only from my browser's dropdown quicky-clicky thingy, but from all permalinks on other blogs!
Anyone out there with Mozilla? Click on the Blather Review link in the sidebar (3rd or 4th from the top) ------->
Can you get there from here? This is weird....

UPDATE II: Hmmm. I can't get in with http://blatherreview.mu.nu, but I can with http://br.mu.nu! wtf...?

I've Seen Other Blogs Do This

How do you put a post at the top of your blog, despite having other entries throughout the day or week? (i.e. how do you bump a post) Do you change the date? Enquiring minds want to know.

Need Help With Commenting & Archiving & Search

Three questions, if anyone can help:

My comments work, but the presentation is pretty lame. How do I change the style of presentation?

I'm not sure if my archives really work. When I go to my archives, I get a Parent Directory listing of my posts, but not even by title, just by a number (followed by .php). Is this normal?

When I click on actual archived posts, the presentation is all screwey. I'd like the archived post-displays to look just like my site. Do I just cut and paste my Main Index template into my Main Archive template? Or what? I have no idea.

Finally, I'm not sure if my search function works. Does search scan the entire mu.nu site for hits? If so, then I guess my search actually is working just fine.

If anyone can help (Madfish Willie...! I'm looking right at you), thanks!

Search

This might shock some of you, but I did something stupid. A while back I deleted the search function from my template in a fit of spring cleaning gone mad. Now I'd like it back. Any ideas on how to do that, oh wonderous people who know these things? Best would be a cut and paste code to drop in the template - you know, keeping it simple (and real).

Your most obedient klutz.

Simon

UPDATE: while you're at it, how do you put one of those boxes that says "click here to have links open in new window"??? Like Allah has.

Programming Question

Okay all you brilliant Munuvian coders - I have one for you. For a different page for use in my group website, I'd like to have an HTML page that will list (and make available for download) all of the files in a particular public HTML file. It doesn't have to look all fancy - just like this - and I don't have access to any MySQL tables or changing options on the web server because GaTech won't give me access or anything like that. It'd be nice if it was just a nice quick javascript or php or something like that, but I have a sinking feeling that it isn't.

another geek/0 question

What exactly is this supposed to be telling me?:

McAfee Firewall blocked an attempt to attack your machine using a "SYN Port Scan" attack. The remote address associated with the traffic was 65.65.81.76 (port 56331). The local port on your PC was 61719.

Bad Example (the blogger formerly known as Bad Money)

UPDATE: I've changed the right sidebar to a solid color background and added a 2px blue border the the body on the right side. Do we like the right sidebar better or the left sidebar better?

Also... why does overflow: hidden; add space to the padding of the element it is placed in? See the right padding of the left sidebar?

=========================================================

Well, it looks like Harvey is about ready to make his move over to our humble abode.

I've got a design for him up at the MadLab. Could I get the MuNuvians to go over and look at it in the different browsers and resolutions and let me know where the bugs are before I move the templates?

I'll need what browser and resolution you are using so I know what to tweak [Mozilla 1.6 / 1280x1024] was the design specs. Leave your comments on the top post.

If you hit the [F5] or refresh button, you can see all eight banners that Pam did for us. Let me know which one you like best.

I have a bug in IE 6.0 with text sizes that I cannot manipulate for some reason... the same on my site... I've tried every method %, px, pt, +2, normal but still can't get them to size. One of you Jr Rocket Surgeons can help me out???

Thanks for helping us out.

UPDATE: Check out the trackbacks on April 12!

Riddle me this . . .

or what I know about software development would fit between these brackets [ ].

OK, just asking here, but what is pyblosxom? I figured some of you might have some handle if this is something new or what? I found it by tracking a Google search that hit my site that was done on the words "just had" to this site after reading the following excerpt on Google:

blog :: tech :: pyblosxom_upgrade.txt Sun, 04 Apr 2004 15:19 Just had fun Just
had fun with a rather obstreperous upgrade from PyBlosxom 0.8 to 0.9.

I Don't Know if I'm Allowed to/Supposed to Ask Questions Here...

...but it looks like that's what people are doing.

The web-design for my current page is GunSmoke by Maystar designs. She has a Moveable Type version, but when I cut and paste it into my CSS Stylesheet box, it just doesn't work at all. There's no sidebar, the whole screen is used for the content-area, and the huge banner-title font is used instead as the title for individual postings.

My question is sort of vague, because I don't know enough to sharpen it. I'm not asking anyone to look at this code and check for errors (it's possible the thing is just badly written), but is there something simple and basic I'm missing? Am I wrong for assuming I can just cut and paste the template into my Stylesheet box?

PROBLEM!

I did see the hiccup, and are we still under attack?

Somehow, I noticed that my entries are being edited by some outside source-hypertext ad links are being added to my posts!

What the...?

How do I stop this?

Hatred

I made the super mistake of trying to find a haircut online. Somehow, now all of my Internet visits bring me a mass of pop-up ads asking if I want to remortgage my house, date a Russian mail order bride, or buy coffee.

None of which I want to do.

Is there a program I can download to stop this agony?

Thanks!
