Mark: check out the comments at the bottom of the blog. Everyone who signed his/her comment has a PGP sig link at the bottom of the comment. If you click on it, the signature is verified and you know if it’s a valid or invalid signature…

Is someone interested in writing a plugin/hack like OpenPGPComment for MT? I would love to have this functionality… It seems very interesting to try it out. If everyone would do this, than spam is doomed ??

Most providers don’t complain about php based websites. Apparently your hosting company has a very strict policy.
A bit offtopic maybe, but I found this strange…:

so if anyone being scan that running this Php scripts on our Singapore base server your account will be suspend and you will be liable to pay for all the costs to removing the scripts from our server.

What is the cost to remove something from a server? I takes me 2 seconds to remove the directory. I don’t think I would use this provider…

Take a look in the admin interface (Options > Other options > date_format)
The help is pretty straightforward. I think can add a day of the week…

I’m also a big fan of Firefox, but this is a very annoying bug… :-s

True… I didn’t think of that.
>Also hyphenating words is only necessary when using justified text,
>which most people aren’t using.
In English, most words are quite short. In other languages, however, (like Dutch), you can combine words until you have something like this:

• aandeelhouderseconomie (aan-deel-hou-ders-e-co-no-mie),
• arbeidsmarkteconomie (ar-beids-markt-e-co-no-mie),
• waakvlamovereenkomst (waak-vlam-o-ver-een-komst).

When those words aren’t hyphenated, you have a big gap in your right-margin.
The biggest problem is that you can put in a hyphen, but someone with a different resolution will see the hyphenated word in the middle of a sentence…

Well, here the lines don’t break! I thinks it’s a Firefox problem and not WP-related, but still… shouldn’t it be possible that WP takes care of this?
I’ll try to illustrate my point with an example. I stole this text from the dev blog:

Plus, because of the archiving style built-into Mo-va-ble-Type the site was swelling up in size with web files all over the place. I’m not a fan of sta-ti-cally created pa-ges at all. I think it leads to bloating and to make changes, you have to re-build every single one of them pages. So, I have been looking for an-other blogging tool to run this site off of. I looked at all of the major players other than MT and found Word-Press to be the best out of all of them. I check-ed it out and even created a test in-stall with some of my existing en-tries.

I placed hyphens in every (long) word. WP should be able to recognize them and break the words at the end of a line. And, of course, drop the other hyphens in that word (or it becomes a mess).

You can put a min-height in your css
for example:
#content {
[...]
min-height: 40em;
}
This makes sure that the content area is always minimum 40ems. If your text is longer, it will stretch, but it will never be less than 40 em.

Thanks Lilandra ??

There is a class named ‘post’. It contains ‘storytitle’ and ‘storycontent’.
Just add a ‘post’-class to your css:
.post {
padding: 5px;
background-color: #F6F9FB;
border: 1px solid Silver;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

I think yo have to escape them. They contain special characters.
Use ‘:-\\’ => ‘undecided.gif’, ‘:\'(‘ => ‘crying.gif’

I think you need the “rap” to center your content (if your weblog has a fixed width for example).

background: #grey;
Shouldn’t that be ‘gray’ or #ddd or something like that? If you want it green, you’ll have to change that one (in the Content section).

You can only edit your files if you are a member (and if you are logged in).
Nice site by the way. Although I find it sad that you don’t support Mozilla / Firefox. The right column is a bit too wide…

I also use the RSS Reader panel. It’s clean, easy and quick (it uses Firefox’ bookmark engine).
