There was a script request for comment systems. (I use MT, and GM before that, both of which have comment systems built in) but if you're on blogger – you may be interested and in need of a comment service. A quick google search drummed these up:
fizbox
YACCS (which seems to be the popular one)
Anyone got anymore? or comment scripts that run on your own server?
Our very own Kristine is behind the very cool MT plugin directory. I think she's posted the link before, but it's recently moved to it's own domain.
As seen on GeekGrrl's site: Color blender. Put in two hexadecimal colors, and then how many shades in between those two you want, and it gives you the colors and the corresponding hexadecimal. Neat! 
Jen also fixed an apparent bug with Safari and the MT bookmarklet. Get the code on her site.
Jen asked for a bookmarklet (that would work in Safari!) that would let you email a link of the webpage you were on. Here you go:
(It would be pretty easy to modify this to ask you for the email address you wanted to send it to – but I started to think that wouldn't be neccessary. And even perhaps less useful – in case you were planning on grabbing the email from your address book or something…)
The one above does "prefill" the subject. If you'd rather it not do that, use this one:
Here's one that will grab the name of the page and put it in the subject line:

This is from another script request – Show most recent comments AND how many comments that person has made in total. Sort of a combination of this (Show most recent comments) and Girlie's comment leader script.

Earlier today, I saw a lazy web post about using mod_rewrite to redirect pages if you change your MT URLs. Check out Generating MT Entry Redirects.
Another thought that I had today — if you are moving a blog from one location to another (think changing domains), you could use a redirect right in the Individual Archives on the old server through MT before deleting the old blog.
Example: (in the head of an Individual Archive template)
As long as you are using the same naming scheme with the MTEntryID (which is the default), your old entries will point directly to the new site.
After a while, once people have stopped linking to the old domain, then you could just delete the individual archive files from the old server.
Natalie posted links to download her "Exercise Journal" script, and her "TV Guide" script.
Pretty simple script. This is in response to a script request. Show a different image, or display a different line of text – (maybe even a different color for your site!) depending on the time. Very simple. All based on the date() function in php.

Chalk this up to "not one of my finer (smarter) moments". This is so silly, I probably shouldn't even admit to not realizing this – but I'm putting it here so I never forget it again.
I had wanted to run a SELECT query where the conditional would be set with the "LIKE" – but I needed to construct the query using the sprintf() function.
