Welcome to Less Than Me 3.0! After upgrading Movable Type to v4.1, I figured I ought to update my templates to gain access to all the new features! While I was at it, I spiffed up the look of my site a bit. The last time I upgraded and touched up the look was way back in November of 2005! And I finally got my hideous logo up on the banner!! I drew it in MSPaint back in June of 2004 but I never could coax the MT templates to display it properly. But now it's right up there, in all its 'glory.'
A few other features I threw in for good measure... The photo on the right is a random pic pulled from my gallery. It's a bit of a ZenPhoto hack, but it works pretty well. Whenever you are bored, just come to my site and refresh the page like mad... a free slideshow, WOW!
The recent comments section on the left was something that came for free in this version of MT. I like it, but I fear what comment spammers will do with it... Only time will tell. In the meantime, get your name up in lights! Leave a comment or two!
Of course, not everything is finished... The about page hasn't been changed yet so it is hideous with the mismatched stylesheet. Aww, it also has the old sidebars. The archive page is a trimmed down version of the default page... I've got a nicer looking one that I wrote a while back, I still need to update that and post it.
But I think that's it... Oh, I finally fixed the weird behaviour where newly left comments wouldn't show up on the page until you manually refreshed. That was terrible... But now it's all better! (I think).
If y'all find any other problems let me know!
Howdy... just FYI your "Random Photo" feature isn't working at this time... I hit "refresh" and it looks like it's trying, but nothing happens :(
BTW I'm using FireFox... haven't tried it in IE
Yep, it was a path problem on these archive pages (it worked fine on the front page). I had just noticed it about 10 minutes ago, and it should be fixed!
Enabling dynamic publishing has been a real pain because Movable Type apparently has some things wrong with their database code... Out of desperation, I posted a question on their forum, but then ended up solving the problem myself...
Hopefully that's the end of my upgrade woes... we'll see.
Your background is too dark :( I can't read you on my phone anymore!
And for a little while, your website was shutting down the internet browser on my phone, but that part seems to be fixed :) I can get here now, I just can't actually read it...
