WordPress Wednesday: Scheduled Posts

Wednesday February 4, 2009

There are dozens of awesome features in the WordPress CMS, but one of my favorites is the ability to schedule a post for future publication. You can write a birthday wish to someone months in advance so you don’t have to worry about forgetting. You can plan to have an anniversary note appear [...]

BlogRolling Ping

Thursday October 5, 2006

If you’re wondering why BlogRolling.com never seems to show your site as recently-updated, it’s likely because you’re not pinging it. I’ve been using the BlogRolling sidebar for years and just yesterday I noticed that my own site never seems to appear near the top of the list. MovableType was apparently pinging the BlogRolling [...]

Is There Anybody Out There?

Tuesday February 22, 2005

What are the chances that after two+ years of little-to-no posting that anybody will be interested in visiting this site again? I’m guessing pretty slim. In my defense: I’ve been extraordinarily busy. Poor davidgagne.net here was also deluged with about 100 spam comments each day, which is one of the main [...]

MT 2.61

Monday February 17, 2003

I finally bit the bullet and upgraded.
Davidgagne.net has gone from a loose collection of random html files to a Blogger-powered site to a Greymatter-powered site to its current MovableType extravaganza-ness.
It only took me about a year to make the jump from MT2.1 to MT2.61. That works out to about two decades in internet time, [...]

Dreamhost Meltdown

Saturday January 11, 2003

Had a slight meltdown here at the ol’ weblog this afternoon. It seems that Dreamhost decided to rename a computer – specifically the one that hosts all my websites – without telling anyone. That caused a bit of a problem since the MovableType CMS (That’s the engine that drives this page!) needs to [...]

MT

Thursday June 27, 2002

Holy Macaroni! What a terrific birthday present; and I didn’t even realize it until today. (Today is the day after my birthday.) Movabletype 2.2 has been released! And wow! Look at all the new goodies!

Several people have asked me how I did it, so I wrote a tutorial on how to create a pop-up ‘eMail This Entry’ window in MovableType. Here it is.
PLEASE NOTE:
This tutorial is based on MovableType Version 2.1 only. If you have upgraded to Version 2.2 I advise you to wait until I have [...]

Send Entry

Friday January 25, 2002

I just read on the MovableType site that Ben and Mena are getting ready to release MT version 2.0, and it will include a ’send this entry’ feature similar to the one I’ve implemented on my blogs. So … since they are the experts, I’m not going to do any more development or write [...]

SendEntry

<Montgomery Burns>
Excellent!
</Montgomery Burns>
I’m about 75% done with my mt-sendentry.cgi development. Youshik has been a tremendous help with some of the trickier Perl bits and Ben is the man for being so cool about answering my eMails. I really hope I can finish working on it tonight so I can have v 0.1 released [...]

Xanga

Wednesday January 2, 2002

I don’t have time right now to really browse the Xanga.com page, but it looks interesting. There is an ad for something called WebCrimson that is apparently another CMS. Man, I really need to sit down and go through some of this stuff. Time … Time … Time …
