NSLog();

Gravatar.com owner Tom Werner says in "Gravatar 2.0 Update" that he hopes to have the site back up and "running as early as the beginning of next week."
He said that over two weeks ago, and the site is still not up. I've turned on Gravatar support here at NSLog();, and will check the site for [...]

As you likely know, I've recently converted from MovableType (MT) to WordPress (WP) here at NSLog(); primarily as a "test run" for eventual movement of The Sand Trap. The move was not without its difficulties, and even as I write this entry days later, I've still not truly completed it.
Having used MT for so many [...]

I'm going to enable Gravatars as soon as you can sign up again. I'm not sure what maintenance they're doing, but it appears to have been going on for quite some tim.

I've enabled (or am in the process of enabling) a bunch of WordPress plugins, as suggested by the many kind folks in the comments to my query entry. I will be using this entry (and the comments section) to try a few out, so if things are wonky for a few hours, please let it [...]

WP-Cache purports to support the ability to publish certain things dynamically (like my rotating header images), yet this functionality seems broken in version 2.0.17.
From the WP-Cache site:
<!--mclude file.php-->
<?php include_once(ABSPATH . 'file.php'); ?>
<!--/mclude-->

Today, as I complete my move away from the wretched and steaming pile of doggy doo that is a MovableType installation with more than 20 entries or 50 comments to WordPress (which has plenty of quirks of its own), I notice this: Vox is now available.
Hooray for SixApart, Ben, and Mena (seen at right prompting [...]

Yes, one of the first things I ever did with my blog was rotate images. Everyone did in 2002 and 2003, didn't they?
Well, with the current theme I'm using (and in the process of hacking… which will resume as soon as I clear up about 300 more entries that WordPress hosed over on the import), [...]

I'm looking for recommendations on good, useful, and fun WordPress plugins. Lay 'em on me (in the comments). Thanks!

I noticed today while doing some editing here on the WordPress version of NSLog(); that some of my image data was removed from my entries. Specifically, class="" and style="".
I default my images in my blog to right-aligned and borderless. Occasionally I specify class="bordered" and style="float: none; margin-left: 0;" as the image and entry warrant.
This code, [...]

I'm renewed in my focus to get WordPress to work here at NSLog(); and, eventually, at The Sand Trap. Why?
% uptime
10:02AM up 53 days, 19:41, 1 user, load averages: 52.10, 79.45, 53.96
Seriously. Why? About 40 instances of my mt-comments.cgi (not the actual name of them) were running. I've renamed it - along with the [...]

I'm in the process (it may take a few weeks) of setting up WordPress for this blog at barzeski.com. I've installed it and will soon attempt to import my content.
The first stumbling block I've encountered appears to be the PermaLinks. I'd like the underscore method to be used, but WordPress seems to prefer to use [...]

Since SixAapart is dog slow at fixing problems and adding features to MovableType, I've spent a little while today trying to implement my own mt-tb.cgi whitelist. It goes a little something like this:
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^127.0.0.1$
RewriteCond %{REMOTE_ADDR} !^64.226.43.134$
RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/mt-tb.cgi - [F]
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. Even the last line, alone, fails to work. I've put these lines [...]

MovableType has become a pile of crud lately. Like Khoi, I've seen an increased number of 500 type errors. I've seen server loads of 25 or higher multiple times the past few days, oftentimes simply because mt-speak.cgi and mt-tb.cgi are pounded on by spammers (the whitelist functionality I mentioned awhile ago may help solve that!).
I [...]

TrackBack may be dead to a lot of people, but I think it still has value. For example, at The Sand Trap, we use TrackBacks to link related articles to each other. That's what TrackBacks are, after all.
However, even at The Sand Trap it's a bit of a hack. Currently, I have the following in [...]

Recently, I installed MT-Notifier on this blog because MovableType lacks yet another feature - the ability to notify users when someone replies to a post on which they've commented. MT-Notifier, like what seems to be most every MovableType plugin, plugs this hole and helps bring MT+Plugins to the level of most other blogging packages (sans [...]
