Wow, these CGI Blogs are amazing, just what I was looking for.
Thanks Renn
Everything is really back end… so viewers won’t see how easy it is to write journal entries or articles and keep everything nicely organized and archived. And how easy it is to change layouts, hit the “Publish All” button and have all your articles (no matter how many) updated to the new layout. If your server allows Coldfusion, I’m sure cgi falls right into place.
Yup, you can use Dreamweaver to design your templates, insert the MT tags and voila!
I have no clue how it works backend-wise really. I just know how to install it and use it. It’s easier than Actionscript. It’s basically a series of online forms that work together to publish your stuff - much like this forum. If you choose to go for this, I’ll walk you through it. But if I’m going to design an interface for you, you don’t really need to worry about the Dreamweaver thing. Plus, you don’t have to make a flash header on the on the sole basis that it will make updating the template easier.
It even works if you don’t have MySql capabilities. At the very least, you just need to be able to run CGI scripts and be able to edit permissions.
If you want to give it a try, email me and I’ll set up a temporary account for you on my system.
That moveable type thing is GREAT! I just installed it on my server. I am workin on a new template for it now though, because the default one is UUUUUGGGGGLYYY!!!
I had so much trouble installing it, grrrrr, but then I realized I was just being stupid. I got the hang of it, installed it, and started using it right away.
Now for a template…hmmmm.
THANKS RENN!
Isn’t it amazing! It makes hand coding all your journal entries, articles, updates lists such caveman work! I bow before the, Ben and Mena Trott!
Phil, yes, I got your email… I responded to it but my email server was being a whiney little *****. I’ll resend my response when I get home. I’d do it now but I’m out of sorts today and can’t remember what you said exactly in the email (mentally, I’m still in weekend mode).
Oh and feel free to AIM me anytime. I’m on between 10-6 Pacific time. SN: RenaissanceGerl.
LOL, increadible, whats so funny is not that someone did it, but they acually made money out of it … …
lol, I was viewing this thread because I was trying to find the thread where RenniGirl showed us the shirt she bought that Edwin designed because I want to get one. Unfortunately I don’t have 15 dollars.
Oh, I found the thread. I saw the shirt. I love the design. I just have to find 15 bucks. I’m trying to save up for a 17 inch flatscreen tho… So I can’t spare any money… And yes that does irk me that she got her money…
I’m not angry with Karyn specifically. She does seem really dimwitted to spend so much money (as Kit says), but clearly putting up this site solved her problems. So she took advantage of pervs and stupid people in general.
But this does say something about people in general. Apparently people will give their money to a “maybe-hottie” but screw the homeless and starving children? I guess this is the state of the nation.
The shirt rocks Jubs. Screw the flatscreen! They’re not worth it, especially if you are a designer! It’s just space saving. They do look cool, but until they go down to about $200-$300 for a 17 inch, I’m not budging!
I hear you on the flat screens, Ren…
def not worth the money right now…
as far as the begging thang…
I left another board I used to spend a decent amount of time… The admin of the board asked for members to “donate” to his trip to FlashCom… Because this guy had a website, he felt welcome to beg the members, which made his website popular, for money so he could go learn more stuff for free…
The bad part was, he got the money!
It’s amazing to see how many people will give good money to someone who asks… I see it every day outside my house & pub…
disturbing…

Its the space saving that I’m after. In a college dorm, space is the most important thing there is. Also I was playing around with one today and it looked great. Videos, DVDs, running programs…very sharp…very clear. I will get the shirt eventually 
I guess… but I would rather wear a cool shirt and save money than save space 
Besides, in college you’ll hardly ever be in your dorm.
I’m always in my dorm. I freakin live there! Everything that happens in my building happens in my room…its insane…
You’re always in your room?! That’s no way to waste away your college years!
Yeah, but he said everything happens in his room, so he isn’t missing anything 
similar idea @ http://giveboobs.com
dunno if that site is appropiate or what…Mods do your stuff
Hmmm, now I wish I’d thought of that…
What a *****! I bet you she used that money for a down payment on an H2. 
Wait, I shouldn’t be angry, I didn’t give that lady any money!
Riiiiight Dan… suuure you didn’t
Hmm… give boobs is different. It’s more whoring rather than straight up begging, as she says she’ll give a picture of her new boobs to the largest donators - fair enough. Karyn is more “give me money and you get nothing.”
