Blogging from New Orleans

Christian Crumlish

My friends Steve and Elizabeth are blogging the reconstruction of New Orleans from within the city: Inside the Bowl.

We stay with them when we go to Jazz Fest (nearly every year), and we were very worried about them when the flood and hurricane hit. They evacuated successfully and their house wasn't harmed, and they've since moved back in.

Steve was writing us these fascinating email messages with photos, so I asked him if he might like to blog about the recovery of the city. A little mumbo jumbo, a little abracadabra, and voila! Inside the Bowl joins the Mediajunkie publishing collective.

I'll be reading the blog every day. Will you?

Dealing with duplicate pings: Weblogs often generate multiple trackback pings to the same entry. This is usually because a timeout in the initial ping caused the process to fail to acknowledge, so the sending weblog tries again next time the user updates the entry. To avoid sending out duplicate pings, if you get an error... (Editorial)
Help with comment permalinks: OK, I wanted the comments block on the home page to link to recent comments "filchyboy on Is linking like sex" etc. The problem is that the comment links just go to the entry and don't scroll down automatically to the specific comment's permalink. I was poking around the templates documentation... (Editorial)
Extreme customization: Anyone who's worked with UserTalk, Frontier, Manila, or Radio knows that there's a lot of impressive power packed into these tools and also a lot of idiosyncrasies.

Overexamined life?: Scott Simon on NPR this morning describes blogging as a type of diary; he says while it may be right that an unexamined life is not worth living, an overexamined life is not worth reading.
