I’ll post how I did this, but I added a new feature to the hotlist. Some people have complained that when they clear their cookies out, they lose all their hotlist links - or if they come here from two different machines, they end up with two different hotlists (because the script is cookie based - and the cookie that’s on one machine will not be the same as on another)

Well, thanks to a little nudge from Promoguy, I created a page which let you save your hotlist and use the same list on another machine. Changes you make to the list on one machine, will be seen on another once you’ve set the same cookie id (using the script on the page).

So without further ado - here’s the “save my cookie!” page.

ahem… that is of course if you can’t find it here first.

New script for you! This one will allow you to put a form on your site that takes short “comments” from your readers not neccessarily related to any specific post. You can also display the last 10(or any number) “hi”s left behind. The idea behind this script was based on my own actions - Many times I visit a site, but don’t have anything specific to add to any of the posts but I still want to let the author know I’ve stopped by. Or maybe I just want to say “Cool site! :)” Here’s hoping those people install this script so I can actually do that now.
There’s also an admin screen provided so you can go in and easily delete any “hi”s you don’t want showing up on your site.

Requirements: You need php running on your site, and have access to a mySQL database. (The script only uses/creates one table - so you don’t need to put it in a seperate database onto itself, although you could if you had database access to spare).

Instructions are provided in the .zip.

(side note: if you install this script, may I recommend that you create an additional page that just has the “hi” form on it, and include a link to that page from your RSS feed (if you have one) so that users can just click on that link when reading you from a RSS news reader. I’ve done this on my personal journal. After indicating how many trackbacks or comments there are on the site, I just added a link to the form.)

This site that I found will encrypt your Email address and convert the result to a self evaluating JavaScript, hiding it from Email-harvesting robots which crawl the web looking for exposed addresses.

Here’s a nice Movable Type template trick originally posted at Wizbang. Show your posts’ trackbacks inline with your posts. Why do this? Well it shows readers who is linking to your post, plus it provides Ecosystem and Technorati links to the sites that send you trackbacks.
