I’m using this script on my site, and I just realized I never documented it here. Bascially this script will add whatever code you want to the text box you specify. On my blog, I use it to add smiley icons (you click on a smiley icon, and the code is written for you). There’s another script that Lynda had posted on her site (the link I have doesn’t work anymore) that will scan your text and replace with the actual image, but it involves hacking into a file that I’d rather not play around with… I’ve heard too many horror stories.

I found this because when I had made a bookmarklet awhile back, I started out by using an online bookmarklet took thingy, that I never kept the link to. (DUH!) But I found another similar one

I found that from this page, which seemed to have some other interesting tools. (Which I’ll have to check out in my spare time… HAHAHA!!!)

Once again, Promoguy had a neat request for a script. Based on this script that shows/hides comments. (which is originally based on this script for showing hiding extended entries)

This script will let you selectively show the comments for ONE particular post “automatically”… that is, the default for the post(s) you select is SHOWING the comments. (and the rest will still default to hiding the comments)

Promo (who’s the source for most of my inspiration for my scripts) posted his OWN little hack to get a user’s IP info. (I’m so nosey - I love knowing more about my readers… I guess it’s only fair, I write a bunch of personal stuff on my blog, it’d be nice to know more about who’s reading it!)

Not a script, or even relating to it, but the ‘Enhancing’ section of this page is one of the most concise explanations I’ve seen of how to use Photoshop to coax a good photo out of a not-so-good photo. It’s close to a good chunk of the evil things I did to photos on a daily basis when I did commercial design a few years ago.

Use this only where appropriate please (like to show a list of links, etc. etc.) if you did this with all your links, it could get v. v. annoying. LOL!

It’s a very simple piece of code that does this:

<a href=”javascript:void(_search=open(’http://www.somesite.com/PAGE/YOU/WANT/TO/OPEN.htm‘,’_search’))”>

update: also, on the page you have opening in the sidebar… if you want links from that page to open in the main window, either add this inside the A tag:
target=”_main”
or add this insdie the head tags:
<base target=”_main”>

Please note this works for PC IE only.

PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT my script. REPEAT. NOT my script. I would LOVE to give credit to the originator, but because I’m a DUFUS, I never made a note of it. I linked to a post on the MT boards that described how to do this, but since the MT board changed servers, that link doesn’t even point to the right thread anymore. If you recognize this script as the one you wrote… PLEASE PLEASE tell me so I can give you the credit you’re due.

I’ve been requested a number of times to explain how I do that “preview your comment live” thing…. It’s really very simple…

Some people were having trouble with getting MT-Search to work with the new mySQL version of MT… I and a few other people WERE able to get it to work. It turned out that you needed the BETA 1.3 version of MT-Search which wasn’t made widely available… until today!

You can download it from Jay’s site here.

After Mena persuaded him to do it, Ben has written a MT plug-in to display your Netflix Queue. (originally found at Jish’s site)

I’ve always loved the appearance of the calendars to see where I’m at in my blogging history. Before this time, I’ve always hand coded out tables to point to my archives, or added on to previous tables that I had from Blogger/Greymatter. But now that all of my archives are in Movable Type, I finally got a chance to put the tables together all on one page. Calendar Archives.
