Whoops! I forgot that the shift in Picayune‘s style was on July 3rd, not the 5th. So what do you all think now after 677 entries in two years, a new set of colors every month and according to the Server, over 270 graphics?
Despite the limitations of Mac OS X Server 10.4’s Weblog-based solution, I remain 80 percent satisified with it. Only 80? Well, there are these cool Last FM tables my brother has on his site and my friend Adam has these counters that measure how long he’s been married and other personal milestones. I did make some progress in year two. I’ve learned how to cut down on the comment spammers because the authentication plug-in lacks instructions; I know how to control how many entries are visible per page (or category); and with a little AppleScript, I can add past stories from Volumes I-IV with pre-July 2005 dates. Still no luck on getting the title formatting repaired thanks to a security modifcation incorporated into 10.4.9’s update. I’m not in any hurry for 10.4.10 until I back up the server adequately.
Blojsom (the Weblog’s actual name) solved the biggest problem I had with running my own web page, updating it with new information quickly.
As I said last year, if I could only get you guys (my friends, the readers and actual audience) to post comments more often, then this solution would be perfect.
I do remain grateful for any attention you shower on Picayune. Now on to its third year!
