Planet MovableType launches
» posted Dec. 15, 2004 » Comments (86)
Looks like Arvind from Movalog has launched a new MT related website. Planet Movable Type aggregates posts from a variety of Movabletype themed websites and displays them all on 1 page. PMT also offers RSS feeds of all these news items, becoming a one stop shop for anything MT related!
This will be a great resource for those that want to follow the MT news community more closely. Thanks for setting this up Arvind!

Here is a fresh new style for those of you in a winter mood. Today in Winnipeg, where I live, we had the first real cold day of the year. It's with that morning chill that I decided to finally release this style which I had been working on for the past little while. When you click the link to download this style you will be given a zip file. Just extract it and place the CSS file and the 2 images in your root directory and you will be good to go.
Please let me know what you think of this style. I've been keeping away from images in the masthead previously, but they can really add a lot of flavour to the page.
ImageGal 1.0 Released
» posted Nov. 26, 2004 » Comments (0)
I posted this article over at my personal blog dasme.org and figured that it might interest some of you.
---
It was a number of months back when I released a little demo of a simple image gallery solution I was working on called ImageGal.
It was received well by the blogging community and I have received nearly 100 emails from people who loved the idea and were using it on their sites. Not too shabby for a little modification done to a script posted on aListApart!
Shortly after that I mentioned that I had written a little php script that would dynamically build your image gallery for you. All you needed was the script I wrote, an images directory and a thumbnail directory; no html coding would be necessary to show the full gallery. After posting that tidbit I immediately had requests for it, the problem was the code wasn't fit for human consumption. Doh! I slowly worked on cleaning up the code and getting it ready for others to see.
I took my sweet ass time getting it out, but have unleased ImageGal 1.0 code named festivus to the hungry public. The archive that is available for download contains a working gallery (actually contains all the files used in the demo that I created), to make it easy for all of you to modify it for your needs.
Please check it out and let me know what you think here by leaving a comment. It took me a long time, but I hope it was worth the wait!
Question about posts
» posted Oct. 13, 2004 » Comments (4)
After posting the last 3 styles I realized that I really posted just 1 style with 2 mutations. I wanted to ask you guys how you would prefer to see styles like this posted in the future. Would you like them all posted separately so they each get their own icon in the All Styles list? Or would you prefer that I make 1 news post and just include the original and mutated styles in one big zip file?
I want to keep the signal to noise ratio down here, so wanted to see if posts like the last 3 bothered anyone. Hope you enjoy the new styles! I'm getting the others that I've created in the last little while ready for posting here as well. Stay tuned!

Here is a nice simple clean style for your blog. A friend of mine requested a minimal style for his blog so Tiny Green was born. I liked it so much that I decided to post it here! I will post the other 2 mutated styles that I made as well. Enjoy!
Jay Allen joins Six Apart

Wow this is great news, although not stylesheet related. Jay Allen, the author of the indispensable MT-Blacklist plugin, has joined Six Apart as the Movable Type product manager. Hopefully he can work magic in the form of other features like he did for the blacklist plugin.
If you aren't already using MT-Blacklist I highly suggest that you do. (you can download it here) Since it's release for MT 3.0 it has reduced my blog spam comments from 20 a day to maybe 1 a week. A great time savings that's for sure.
