I'm so going to figure out how to change the look of my weblog!!! Jon is examining a lesson I learned a while ago:  format sets you free....   Free to be creative.  Free to focus on the thoughts.  Free form design, layout, essay structure, etc takes away from true creativity: the art of communicating thoughts.  [John Robb's Radio Weblog] 6:12:46 PM     Comments[]

Mark Pilgrim (no relation) clarifies and answers my themes questions Clarification on themes. Steve Pilgrim (no relation) asks: "Am I correct in saying Mark Pilgrim has 11 MovableType themes?" No. I have 1 MovableType theme and a few lines of Javascript that dynamically swaps the CSS. The HTML never changes. This means I don't need to publish 11 copies of my site just to get 11 themes; I publish 1 copy, and let you decide how you want to read it. Joe Gregorio has a similar CSS-based style switcher on his Radio site. There are one or two caveats to be aware of, but it's quite doable: he's doing it. Ask him for details. [diveintomark] This may put me on the road to creating a theme for my site. Mark's links are a huge help. Thanks! 10:35:20 AM     Comments[]

Cloud status! 61% of 20.0MB is free. After just 3 months. It appears to me that this means I need a hosting arrangement with at least 150MB-200MB of space to cover my "posting average" for the next five years!! Seriously, it's time to find a host and get on with it. I just wish Russ would tell me all I ever need to know about editing Radio templates! I want a new look at the same time that I change to a new domain name. 9:30:50 AM     Comments[]

RSS at Movable Type sites Another round of thank you's go to the folks who posted comments when I asked about getting some Movable Type sites into my news aggregator: Meryl was helpful as usual! u2zoo points to a site called 79 Decibels! Thanks. Mark Paschal (d00d. It's c0d3stUff.) came through with a really useful tip. 7:30:32 AM     Comments[]

More thanks are in order! Last night I thanked Dave Winer for pointing to me (and my questions) from Scripting News. This morning, a number of you have come through with comments or emails. Here are the details: On my question about Audio, MP3 and audiophile (high-end) systems, Alwin Hawkins pointed me to a US Robotics device for wirelessly sending MP3 files from a PC or server to an audio system. Then, I got a comment and an email from Dave Luebbert. He took the time to start my education in MP3's and high end audio systems. Take a look at his comment here. More importantly, take a look at SongTrellis. A great Manilla site. 7:20:24 AM     Comments[]

Am I correct in saying... Mark Pilgrim has 11 Movable Type themes? These themes could be downloaded by a user of MT and used, but these are not themes suited to Radio as I understand it. Here's what I'm reading from: Author Beware. ...brings me up to 11 radically different CSS-based themes ("this one goes to 11"... [diveintomark] 6:22:19 AM     Comments[]
