  • Podcast Publishing With MovableType ( Friday, October 21st, 2005)
    I’ve been tinkering with my simple approach of using MovableType as a publisher engine to create podcast feeds and content listings for audio content that is used across several different web sites. While there are many ways one could go about this, I am finding this to be efficient and fast. I only have about [...] more »»

  • Podcasting On The Cheap: Number 8 Bailing Wire Not Include ( Wednesday, September 14th, 2005)
    The kiwis have a great expression about being able to fix anything with some number 8 bailing wire, sort of the down under flavor of duct tape. I just spent about 90 minutes cobbling together what I hope to be a framework for supporting audio content across a number of our content sites. I’ve yet [...] more »»

  • Eating My Own Trackback Crow ( Saturday, August 27th, 2005)
    It’s only been… what, a few days?… when I insinuated that Trackback was not such a major problem. I just took a look at one of our MovableType 2.66 sites (that will remain nameless, linkless from here) that I’ve not scanned in a while, and saw a whole raft of Trackback spam sitting in the [...] more »»

  • Left Over Blog Migration Tidbits ( Friday, August 5th, 2005)
    For some long lost reason, I was looking at my first WordPress entry from April 2005, following the easy and recommended migration from MovableTyoe. First I had not responded to the comment about updating my Feedburner settings. Well, 4 months later, and I sprung into action, updating the blog URL, and making sure my links [...] more »»

  • IM This Entry ( Friday, April 22nd, 2005)
    I just added a new feature to this blog’s templates, likely the last tweak I will do as I am rather dead set on moving soon to WordPress (especially after seeing D’Arcy’s demo of the flickr gallery plugin). The new feature is a link along the front page and archive pages (and individual entries) where the [...] more »»

  • The Dog Barfed Up Some Comments ( Thursday, April 14th, 2005)
    Although I noted yesterday that my own technical gaffs had erase all of our blog comments going back to September 2004, I did comb through the last database dump from early March 2005 and sifted out the legit comments for Sept 2004 - March 3, 2005, so the loss was the last month and a [...] more »»

  • Captcha Spammers! Fugggedaboddit ( Friday, April 8th, 2005)
    It’s a new spam free day for CogDogBlog and our other affiliated MovableType 2.661 blogs here. I’ve successfully integrated James Seng’s captcha plugin, so that all comment posts require a human to type in a randomly generated security code that appears on screen as a graphic image or ‘captcha’. Spambots cannot automatically read these, [...] more »»

  • CDB Greatest Hits All 837 of ‘em ( Tuesday, March 29th, 2005)
    Since I am pondering doing the MovableType to WordPress conversion, I’ve done a bit of reflecting on the last two years of blogging. Nothing profound has emerged, but I did start to think about the part of a blog post I spend the most time on (obviously it is not spell checking) — coming up [...] more »»

  • Now the iPodless Podcaster ( Saturday, February 26th, 2005)
    Day number 578 without an iPod… No, I have no intent to start regular podcasts, enough other people with velvety FM radio D.J. type voices that never say “ummm” are at it already. There is no time to jump into this endeavor. But never say never. On the other hand, twice or more or in the last [...] more »»

  • Keeping Tabs on Comments in Multiple Author Blogs (MovableType) ( Sunday, February 20th, 2005)
    With exceptions of newer systems (yes, Drupal fans, that is you), many blog software packages are designed from the perspective of single author weblogs, but with some digging you can expand their functionality for multi-author sites. We’ve recently released the Low Threshold Applications (LTA) site, recast as a blog from a once manually edited HTML site. [...] more »»
