Found this website through Stacey: CSS Coloring book. Many nice sample CSS only layouts.

(If that link has already been posted here before, I apologize for the duplication)

Don’t know if you’d noticed or not, but bloglet hadn’t been sending out notices of new posts here. After months(?) of going in and trying to figure out what I had set up wrong… and even emailing the author of bloglet… I finally re-read the instructions… You know the old saying, when all else fails; read the instructions. Well that did it. I had the server pointing to the regular /mt/mt.cgi path for the blog, but as it turns out you’re supposed to point it to /mt/mt-xmlrpc.cgi. DOH! Slaps hand on forehead… So, if all goes well, this post should end up in your emailbox - IF you’ve signed up with bloglet… Sorry for the delay in getting it back up and running (and for my silly-ness!)

Web-Graphics.com originally had this link - but I wanted to put it here too for my safe keeping. beandizzy.com - bookmarklets I can’t do without

For the past couple of days, I’ve been working on creating a script that will allow for secure downloads. That is, let’s say you have a file, but you don’t want this file sitting on the root. You already have some sort of login script in place, so people can’t access the page without logging in, but how do you get the download to work *through* the script with the file outside the web root…

Scriptygoddess is linked from MSNBC’s Weblog Central as a blog resource. YAY! Thanks Will!

I know that we’ve posted about .htaccess files and friendly error pages before, but after some questions from my spouse, I decided to write up something more along the lines of a package of scripts. It contains a bit of optional logging, if you want to keep an eye on the details of your errors, but that can be turned off if you want.

My full entry (although not much longer than this) about the package is available here; you can also download the zip file and just work from the README I’ve included.

This isn’t exactly a script, nor is it quite CSS. I got a tip from BaronCarlos that there’s an XUL feature called the ‘Site Navigation Bar’ that you can customize in Mozilla and Opera 7.

There’s a bunch of stuff I just found on Web-Graphics. And since I tend to lose links a lot unless I put them in a blog (making it easier to search for them later) I’ve got to just dump them here….

(You’ll notice some mac-related links - yes, I’ve been using my mac at work more and more. OS X is pretty neato. Makes me miss my PC less)

A variation on the previously released “Event Script“. This one was done with a different purpose in mind. The original Event Script was mainly for displaying birthdays/anniversaries (recurring events). THIS event script is geared more for one time events.

It’ll display the events for the next “x” number of days that HAVE events. (Written for Linda who wanted to display the next “x” number days of gigs her band had on her website.)

(and no, these script names aren’t terribly exciting. By the time I’m done writing the script, my creativity is all used up!)

There’s been so many great plugins developed for Movable Type since that functionality was added. To keep track of them all, and to help me in answering questions on the forums, I put together a Plugin Directory (powered by MT, of course!) It actually uses some of the plugins that I hadn’t tried out yet (Columnize and Key Values are most notable).

So if you’ve been looking for a solution but don’t have PHP, some of these perl-based plugins may help you out.
