MT 3.2
LF 0.94e

     

May 07, 2005

i lied before when i said comments were working. turns out that upgrading from MT 2.x to 3.x requires a lot of hacking through templates to make comment registration work. i wound up replacing a lot of them wholesale. i haven't updated them all to use my layout and styles tho, so the whole site is kinda ghetto for the time being (as opposed to "minimalist" which is how i usually describe it).

i also got rid of a whole mess of obsolete stuff, like Yahoo news and thelist extracts and so forth and added syndication links (Atom, RSS) and an export of my NetNewsWire RSS subscriptions in OPML format. soon i will also have del.icio.us links and upcoming events. simple but fun stuff that lets you stalk me even more intensely.

by the way, i just want to give a shout out to Six Apart. i opened a support ticket because i couldn't figure out how the hell to make comment registration work. Sarah from the support staff got back to me within minutes with several links to knowledge base articles, FAQs and external blog entries on how to solve my problem. her quick and super helpful service was much appreciated. i've always thought highly of the Six Apart folks (their disinterest in hiring my friends notwithstanding), and this is yet another positive experience. thanks!

update: i added the del.icio.us and upcoming.org links via the MT RSS feed plugin. it was even simpler than expected, once i figured out how to install a plugin into MT. i also finally figured out how to set up categories and tagged almost a year's worth of entries. what a productive day! now i'm off to finally see Hitchhiker's Guide.
