WordPress Wednesday: Scheduled Posts February 4th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PST
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 on your […]
BlogRolling Ping October 5th, 2006 @ 7:46 am PDT
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 servers, but […]
Is There Anybody Out There? February 22nd, 2005 @ 10:24 pm PST
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 reasons I finally switched […]
MT 2.61 February 17th, 2003 @ 8:21 am PST
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 […]
Dreamhost Meltdown January 11th, 2003 @ 1:55 am PST
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 know the […]
MT June 27th, 2002 @ 12:45 pm PDT
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!
How to Create a Pop-Up eMail This Entry Window in MovableType March 21st, 2002 @ 1:49 pm PST
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. 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 had a chance […]
Send Entry January 25th, 2002 @ 10:07 pm PST
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 a […]
SendEntry January 17th, 2002 @ 5:36 pm PST
<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 […]
Xanga January 2nd, 2002 @ 11:05 am PST
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 …
