Editing
If you visit http://www.davidgagne.net/ you’ll see a period – . – before each link to an entry’s comments. That period is a link to the editing window for that particular entry. As long as I am logged in to MovableType, I can click on that link and immediately begin editing the post. Here’s the link
The Weblog Dictionary
Lucky you! I went and updated my world famous blog dictionary. I added several new terms and changed the formatting. I received numerous requests for the functionality, so you can now easily link to entries. It’s also in css now, so you don’t have to wait for the entire table to load before you can
Quick Link
Here’s a nifty little trick for you, my loyal derlings! In the sidebar to the left (or, to the right if you’re upside-down) you may notice a mini-blog called The Good Stuff. Those are quickie web links that I guaran-damn-tee are worth a visit. “That’s not a trick, David,” I hear you say. Well hold

XML-RPC Ping

It means that if you follow the steps in the tutorial, whenever you add an entry to your MovableType blog, MT will automatically ping weblogs.com to alert that you have updated.
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
