I'm currently in training this week for ASP (and finally we're done with "review" – very long story). While little of this is useful for blogs, I still wanted to document what I'm learning. Here are my notes from class: (this is a VERY VERY long post.)

This is not Jennifer's feed. This feed was put together by Brad, .NET Guy. This feed contains your 10 most recent posts as well as your 20 most recent comments. The difference between this and Jennifer's feed is that if someone comes by and comments on a post that's not one of your 10 most […]

Samuel and I were talking the other night. We both use the SimpleComments plugin (combines Comments & Trackbacks in the same area). We'd both noticed that pings don't show up immediately unless you re-save the entry, so Samuel wrote a patch for it. The patch is written for MT 2.63 and is very easy to […]

VERY basic password protection script. It's based off ONE username/password set. Pages that are protected by the password maintain a "session cookie" with the encrypted username and password. Here's the download (Requires the use of PHP on all pages that will be password protected) Testing on this script has been minimal. (Hey, its free!)

This is a variation of Girlie's Comment Leaderboard. I've seen other people who show the comment leaders for the last 30 days, but I decided I'd rather show the leaders for the current month. Here's the code. The items bolded and underlined need to be changed to reflect your blog settings. <? include ("/path/to/your/connection/file/connect.php"); $leaders […]

Erik created a wonderful 404 search function. It requires only PHP. This explains what it does. I think this one would be a useful feature to add to scripty… [Thanks Etan for the tip!] Update 4/25 – as you can see in the comments section here, there's some debate about this script. While I'm still […]

Here's an MT hack that will prevent double comment posts. [saw it at Lisa's] (You can see the comment thread in the last post, but that Javascript method of disabling the button will not work – so this is rather timely!) 😀

Here's a neat trick using javascript to disable a button after it's been clicked once (so you avoid double posts – or in their example, double payments) NewzCrawler came with a default feed of "javascript tip of the day" which is where I found that… update: seems there's some problem with actually getting that to […]

I was going to post this here, but it seemed less appropriate the more I wrote. You can read the whole post on my site. Here's a summary of what I wrote on my blog: Now that you've gotten your RSS feed(s) set up, it's a good time to check out your site from the […]

This is a very simple hack that will allow you to output your index.xml into RSS 2.0 instead of .91. All you have to do is download this file and replace the rss.cp.php with the same file in your pmachine directory cp/rss.cp.php Please note that according to Rick this hack will become obsolete in pMachine […]
