Hit Parade

Christian Crumlish

Out of courtesy I won't name names, but I see one of our own found an interesting way to game the system a bit. First he posts a link to something elsewhere on his page, a "click here" item. Then he goes over to a couple of other high-traffic boards and posts the exact same squiblet. No problem, right? Well, on the other boards, "click here" takes you not to the content, but to - yep - his post at salonblogs. Cute. [The Raven]

Logos, drafts, syndication, and privacy: filch, I'd love to see your futurismistic logo ideas and see if Liza and you can get any synergy going. I noticed that draft. Are you still going to flesh it out? By QuickPost, you guys are talking about the TypePad bookmarklet? I didn't realize it could post to MT blogs... (Editorial)
Posting drafts: Re Blogistan Editorial: ARGGH!: i usually use quickposts to create drafts that i then work out into full posts. is there any reason why i cannot keep a draft in RFB? No, there is nothing preventing you except that by default new posts are set to Publish unless you override and... (Editorial)
Catching up: First of all, I think I will turn on comments by default after all, since there's no reason not to use that system for followups in the future Re Liza's questions (Blogistan Editorial: When it rains it pours): 1. When I make new sites I always start anew with logos. It... (Editorial)
More on Logo/Templates: Speaking as someone with lots of experience with Futurism I like the idea of a logo and the style of the site to be presented in such a fashion. In fact I have a wonderful idea for an inspiration. I'll see if I can dig it up.... (Editorial)
Drafts: I have posted a draft and had no problems. But what I have found with MT is that QuickPosts sometimes render drafts as full posts. I think if you only post drafts from within the main admin screen you won't have this issue.... (Editorial)
2 Points on Syndication: There is a syndication feed for the editorial board. You can find it here. Any luck on setting this editorial log behind a password Xian? Xian if you could I'd prefer the attribution be dropped from the feed you made for me the other day. The feed is going to be... (Editorial)
ARGGH!: i usually use quickposts to create drafts that i then work out into full posts. is there any reason why i cannot keep a draft in RFB? it posted my draft which i had to delete and thusly i had to proceed to rebuilding the whole site. ugh! i had no... (Editorial)
Email Notification?: Since we do not have an RSS feed for this blog, should we set up email notification for it?... (Editorial)
The flight from television: Stirling Newberry, commenting under the post below (How has blogging changed your life?), shares a fascinating point: ...people like themselves more when they have become content producers, rather than merely consumers. The crinkly interaction of between peers - in the sense that everyone is a producer and consumer - opens whole... (Weblog Concepts)
