A *huge* thank you to Adam for his instructions on how to set up multiple category links. Now I can sort posts all sorts of different ways! No more confusion about which category to put it into, I’ll just put it into more then one! Like this post – it’s in Geek Love and Know the Code. Thanks Adam!

E-Mail It … You Want It?
I am debating about implementing David’s E-Mail this Entry code. It’s cool… but would anyone use it? Have you ever wanted to e-mail my entries to someone else? I don’t normally – if it’s good stuff, I blog it! But maybe there are readers out there who are not Blog owners? And they would really like to be able to do it? Now is your chance … talk back!
MT 2.0…
I wanted to take a moment to gush all sorts of lavish praise about MovableType 2.0. I love the new interface. I love that I can now ban IPs from commenting. I love how fast & easy it was to install. I love it. Love, love, love it. I love that I can rearrange the MT entry page as I wish. OH! And now when you upload a photo you can make a thumbnail of it at the same time! How is that for cool? Yes, the list of things to like goes on & on. I just read Candi’s post about how long it takes for her to rebuild her blog. Yes, the 2.0 rebuild takes a little longer for me then 1.4 did because now it rebuilds 40 posts at a time. That said, I can do a FULL rebuild of *1480* entries, including individual, daily, weekly, monthly, category archives plus the regular index templates, in under 2 minutes. I timed it earlier when I added the daily archives to make the calendar links display all of the posts for a certain day, not just one. Under 2 minutes is not bad when it comes to that many entries. Other blog softwares would have taken … oh, they would have crashed at about 600 entries, who am I kidding. There are bug fixes that 2.0 addresses. I think it is well worth the upgrade. It was fast & painless, and the latest & greatest ROCKS!
IE6 Request…
I am not running IE6, so I can’t double check it – could someone let me know if the “BlahBlahBlog…” logo at the top of the page is still centered? I noticed this morning as I looked at Tod’s computer that it was, so I added a tag to left justify it – and I want to make sure it’s working. Also, the blog text and the sidebar should all be left justified, so if you see anything wonky please let me know!
No Right-Click…
I started laughing with that manic laughter when I hit today’s Lockergnome Windows Daily GnomeTIP. Like Chris, I laugh when people set the “No Right Click” script. In a matter of 3 seconds I can still grab your image. I have been known to even e-mail people a copy of the image I grabbed just to prove the point. I am a right-click surfer. I use it all the time to open links in a new window or send a shortcut to my desktop. Maybe even to add a site to my favorites list. So when people do that to their pages it pretty much just ticks me off and all but guarantees I won’t be back unless you have something REALLY great to offer.
Don’t let yourself be fooled. Your “no right-click” isn’t tricking anyone but yourself into a false sense of security. If you don’t want someone to take it, then don’t put it online.
