If you’re using MovableType to maintain your blog, you can add the following bit of code to allow readers to automatically add themselves to your Update / Notify list: <form method=”post” action=”<$MTCGIPath$>mt-add-notify.cgi”> <b>Get updates via email:</b><br /> <input type=”hidden” name=”blog_id” value=”<$MTBlogID$>” /> <input type=”hidden” name=”_redirect” value=”<$MTBlogURL$>” /> <input name=”email” size=”18″ /> <input type=”submit” value=”Sign Up!”
AutoText 2
Well I already made a bunch of changes to AutoText. Thank you so much, Leia, for beta-testing! Now there are four text boxes. AutoText will post the text in the selected text box to the open app. That way you can save several juicy bits of text for auto-posting. Please note that if you’re using

Read. Learn.
I found this excellent essay about writing computer code at evhead. The author makes several very good points about reading and writing in a programming language.

If any of my beloved readers are SQL whizzes, I have a little problem posted on my development blog. I will love you forever if you can give me any ideas …
