I noticed that since my home page has moved into a new month, and I have fewer posts than woudl equal the height of the right sidebar, my white background stops and obscures the remainder of the sidebar. If anybody can look at the source of this page and see what I need to do with the template to make Continue Reading
When I upgraded to MT 3.2, all seemed well, but my notification emails I used to get when a new comment or trackback was received is now no longer working. (Update: Monday night….it works now! they had a power outage at my host —first time that’s happened! Maybe that VERY HARD reboot is what did the trick, or there’s also Continue Reading
I have been trying the Movable Type Style Generator. It’s getting me closer, but I still suck at design, and suck even worse with CSS. MY style Sheet is here, if anybody has any tips on how to 1. Make the content area (left column) fill in the whole white area, like it does in my IE6, for Firefox as Continue Reading
I’m having a hack of a time trying to get StyleCatcher working. Anybody know what directory needs permissions? My StyleCatcher Plugin is under my /mt/plugins/StyleCatcher the themes folders are under /mt/mt-static/themes whenever I try to apply a selected theme in StyleCatcher, I get this error: “Could not create theme-april_showers folder – Check that your ‘themes’ folder is webserver-writable” Update: I Continue Reading
I just posted that I have switched to 3.2. Then this post disapppeared.. I’ll have to check into that one. I set up a test copy of my blog and upgraded it to 3.2. When all looked well, I flipped the switch. We’ll see how it goes. NO trackback spam so far. That’s a plus. (Now it’s reappeared again, but Continue Reading

I just installed wbloggar4, but it seems to have a problem with MT 316, or at least my installation. After filling in my www.theoblogical.org and /movtyp/mt-xmlrpc.cgi and sending my name and password, I get: w.bloggar – 1072896659 Unable to parse the XML response. Parser Reason: Invalid at the top level of the document. I am trying to connect to an Continue Reading
I have been typing so badly lately; I need a spell checker for my blogging. I use either IE6+ or Firefox 1.0 (trying to use Firefox and Sage more and more….I like Firefox/Sage’s RSS reader.) But my blog entries are getting mistyped a lot; and I am embarassed when my references to blogs that have trackback show my mispellings, so Continue Reading
I just noticed that the font in my quotation boxes changes if the quote runs more than one paragraph. Why is this? Here’s the CSS: blockquote { margin: 9px; background-color:#CCCCCC; padding-top: 9px; padding-right: 9px; padding-left: 9px; padding-bottom: 9px; } and there’s this section: .content blockquote { line-height: 150%; } There are p tags inside these blockquote sections (the gray backgrounds) Continue Reading
Chris commented on my last post, and I thought that might be the best thing to do for now. I don’t get very many TB’s anyway, and the ones I have gotten are still able to be read…just no new ones for a while.
This is horrible. I’m getting 20-30 spam Trackbacks a day. Anybody know a good preventative tool, maybe one that also hits back and reports as many of these as possible to ISP’s etc. This is disgusting.
I turned on the option: Accept Comments from Registered Visitors added my TypeKey Token, but still get the following error: Comment Submission Error – Your comment submission failed for the following reasons: Registration is required. Please correct the error in the form below, then press Post to post your comment. What is happening? UPDATE (1pm CST) I replaced all my Continue Reading
I now can take comments again (until they figure out how to deal with redirects, which may take them a while). I did away with the usual javascript popups, and sent the request to an intermediate page that traps any requests that aren’t originating from my blog. update: They don’t work…..I never tried an actual comment. I’m not getting the Continue Reading
After finally successfully upgrading my MT 2.66 to 3.1.21, I have had commenting problems. I had been under the impression that one of MT3’s major advantages was that it had builtin solutions for comment handling. But after MT-Blacklist failed to work when I installed it, I tried the TypeKey Authentication, which also did nothing; NADA. So I am now operating Continue Reading
This is crazy. I set up a brand new subdirectory (mt31), and copied my movtyp directory (where my 2661 version is running) and made a copy of my database, and pointed the mt.cfg file I copied into my new mt31 directory. I then uploaded all the files from my download of the mt311 upgrade , and made sure that mt.cfg Continue Reading
