Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
Imitation and flattery aside, just curious if anyone thinks RSS-to-Javascript bears any resemblance at all to our Feed2JS? I do not really care all that much since Feed2JS code is open source but some credit would be nice, egos can always use some stroking now and then… Ours was pretty much inspired by David Carter-Tod’s […]
We at CDB support the advancement of other dog blogs, esepcially as the number of Google-able cat blogs (6,040,000) appear to be ahead of the dog blogs (5,710,000). Therefore we share with your “Dog News: weird, inspiring dog tales”. The Dog New folks have gone ahead and applied Creative Commons licensing to their content, so […]
I’ve been collecting worthy and interesting web sites for almost as long as I can remember, heaping them up in piles on the floor. Actually, we have a site called the Bag of URLs where I post and share them– this started back in 1996 primarily as a selfish tool for my own use to […]
There’s a heated web browser debate going on over at “Redemption in a Blog” as techies try to sort our what web browser Homer Simpson uses, see “Homer Simpson Uses Tabbed Browsing”. Top theories bounce between FireFox and Safari, with no clear winner. I would bet Homer wants his pop-up ads not to be blocked […]
Every day’s glance at the not so old RSS reader brings new gems. Today the far seeing Stephen Downes shared a link to Connotea, very much a nice knock off of del.icio.us for bookmarking sites as well as papers. Connotea is a place to keep links to the articles you read and the websites you […]
Found while trolling some of the graphic design gems over at Cameron Moll’s Authentic Boredom Billboard Backside Blunder Only pure coincidence could create a scenario like this. Posted along I-15 in Provo, Utah, this billboard stand demonstrates what happens when an advertiser fails to consider what might be posted on the back of his billboard: […]
What’s in a file name? Well it is the URL that you will publish, so make the most of it. You can make room for flexibility in your blogs if you set things so all content created is published as *.php rather than *.html.
What is PHP? A long forgotten acronym, but it is a powerful server side language for mixing in some script like commands that can make web pages be much more dynamic than static HTML. Even if you never use one iota of PHP code, your blog site can still spit out web friendly content, HTML only if you change things as described below. It is an once of prevention (well maybe more than an ounce) that creates opportunity down the road.
So in this bit of MT, we will show you how to change everything so your blog is on the PHP bandwagon, and then show you an easy way to save your individual blog posts with more meaningful urls than http://www.mycoolsite.org/blog/archives/000035.html
I’ve been at the blogging biz using MovableType (MT) since April 19, 2003, and along the way I’ve been putting aside some ideas for things I have done beyond the out of the box set up that might help others. Also, since I am still living in the free land of MT 2.661, I have […]
Jill Walker’s description of an easy to use QwikiWiki is just a piece of what she describes like assembling her own bits of small technologies loosely joined: So I’m thinking Blogger.com blogs (no comment spam, no setup for me, they own it completely; no trackbacks but c’mon, comment spam is too high a price to […]
Found surfing RSS feeds of someone else’s del.icio.us tagged bag… If you’ve not come across the beta of Google’s new feature, take a peek at Google Suggest, which works like autocomplete by responding with common/popular search queries based on the first few letters you type in the search field. What do you think? Dose of […]
