If you’re using MovableType to run your blog, here’s the HTML to include ‘Previous’ and ‘Next’ buttons (with a ‘Home’ button in the middle) on your individual entry pages: <div align=”center”> <form> <MTEntryPrevious><input type=”button” value=”<$MTEntryTitle$>” onclick=”window.location='<$MTEntryLink$>’;”></MTEntryPrevious> <input type=”button” value=”Home” onclick=”window.location='<$MTBlogURL$>’;”> <MTEntryNext><input type=”button” value=”<$MTEntryTitle$>” onclick=”window.location='<$MTEntryLink$>’;”></MTEntryNext> </form> </div>
Last Updated
I’ve created a “Last Updated” system in my MT network and, although I’m sure it can be done better, I thought I’d share. I have five separate MT blogs running now. On my main page (which will be converted to MT once the ability to import GreyMatter comments is part of MT) I wanted to
the good stuff
I completed another of my web development tasks tonight. One of my sub-blogs, the good stuff is now a MovableType blog. The good stuff is the sidebar list of ten links. These are links that I want to bookmark for one reason or another, but about which I don’t feel like writing an entire blog

verbalIQ
I just took a verbalIQ test that I found at leuschke.org. My overall score was a depressingly low 87%. I did well in the Reading Comprehension and Anagrams sections.

Referrals
I’m happy to report that five separate individuals searching the web found my web site using the search phrase “Tennessee football sucks“.
Unemployed
Today is my last (official) day here at HRI. Tomorrow should be my last day, but it’s my ‘flex’ day. One of the coolest perks of this job was the schedule. They have what’s called a 9/80 work week. You work 80 hours in 9 days instead of the usual ten. The bonus is that
Offspring
Why Don’t You Get a Job – Offspring Thanks to everyone that pointed out that this was a Song of the Moment a few weeks ago, but I thought it was a great choice since I am – once again – looking for a job!
