scriptygoddess

Jennifer & I had talked about this little bit of freeware before, and thanks to Promoguy, I found this site that offers it – a Screen Ruler. Handy for measuring widths of items on the fly!

Beginning in CSS is a little something I put together for a web design newsletter. There are some tips inside of it (in the large table) for beginners, intermediate users, and an advanced tip. Some stuff that I haven't shared here yet! But since I was *hired* as a scripty-goddess because of my css knowledge and not my good looks 😉 makes sense to share this article!!!

This is a project I've been meaning to get to for awhile, but I figured I'd open up a brainstorming session for it (everyone is welcome to post ideas, thoughts, things you've tried). Christine had "requested" a script where you could "subscribe" to comments… ie. you leave a comment on someone's site, but you don't want to have to keep going back to the comments section of that one post to see if anyone else replied. You'd just get an email (kind of like the one MT sends the author) that says – new comment – maybe it even HAS the comments in it…

So my original plan of attack was…

I know that this has come up several times on the MT boards – how can I make a list of other posts in the same category on an individual entry page. Mena answered it today, and I thought I'd post a link : listing links
She has it implemented on Sew Wrong.

I just said yesterday that I wished I could do this. Today I find the directions to make it happen: On this day link to content from previous years for MT! [via MoveableBlog]

Amy offers instructions for how to do this in GM on her Codebits page. (Which was what prompted my comment last night.)

EDITED – Well now, don't I feel like a dork? I have been super busy for the past 2 weeks, and for awhile there my blog reading was pretty thin. Lynda posted a solution HERE (on this site) already – detailing how to do this! I like how her method is set up, and I'll be putting it to use later this week! Thanks Lynda!

Amy over at domesticat.net doesn't sit still for a moment. Her latest code creation is a method to create a portal site using PHP.

Why not use the standard RSS/XML solution? She gives you a number of reasons on her site. This is aimed towards sites using Greymatter and Moveabletype, however if you're running a group site with people using another CMS, they should also be able to create syndicated files easily using the examples given in the zip file presented.

If you run a group site and typical syndication solutions aren't cutting it, take a look at this code.

Not necessarily a "scripty" thing, I keep meaning to set up my very own 404 error page, and I (a) don't know how and (b) when I have been given instructions I lose them. So the Custom 404 File Not Found Error Document Message Tutorial that I found at Brandy's site is a helpful thing for me to have around!

Jenn … 404 errors, uh, does that have something to do with .htaccess?!? Hmmmm…

A few things here. First Below is a sample Main Index Template so you can see how all that junk is set up on the templates. (I hope it doesn't confuse people even more! LOL!)

Also – the author of the blog software b2 had some suggestions for me on how to improve the code on this – which I have not yet implemented. But you can see his comments here.

Ok – now the template…

Great little clipboard-like utility: Pasteboard – kind of like a multi-clipboard utility, works between programs and doesn't forget what you copied/pasted… Think I'll give it a try! 😀 (link found via Out of the frying pan)
