Missing Comments

I've noticed on my blog that the comment counter is going up on my latest post, and if I log in to my MT menu then I see there are comments there. But if I click on the comment counter on my actual blog, then those comments aren't there.

Is there a comments monster in my blog?

Remembering Info in Comments

For some reason my blog doesn't remember user info for frequent commenters (me--which is annoying). Even when "Yes" is chosen and cookies are enabled. Any suggestions?

Also, I notice that when my comments page opens up, frequently the text is blank until I scroll up and down a few times. Possibly a problem on my end, but maybe others have experienced this.

UPDATE: Most of the comments tended to think this was a user-end problem. I don't. The reason is that the problem persists across a number of internet surfing platforms. For instance, it doesn't seem to matter wheter one is using IE, Netscape, or Mozilla. I'm thinking that there is a problem in our comments template with whatever code sends cookies since it seems to affect so many of us.

This is a job for Madfish Willlie!

I seem to remember a fraud alert which said that these e-mails are fraudulant. I did not hit the link, but I did go to the regular ebay login, and found no notices.

What do you guys think?

Trackbacks to site not working

I posted an entry on my site which linked to this one over at Moxie.

No trackback listed, though her sidebar lists my site as being recently updated. This is common when linking to her. Any idea why she doesn't see my trackbacks?

Apologies

As you may know, all of Munuvania is currently being censored by the South Korean government (check out Big Hominid for the latest on government censorship - he also got tagged in a Newsweek article). It just dawned on me that the ban on the mu.nu domain is probably a direct result of my posting the video of the South Korean hostage being beheaded.

As someone who's a brand new arrival in mu.nu, I feel like quite the ass for getting all of all y'all banned in an entire country.

So please accept my abject apologies for this turn of events.

Closing comments

Pixy/Madfish:

I've seen a few places mention some MT plugin that allows you to close off comments after a certain amount of time. Given 99% of the spam that beats the Blacklist comes from old comments, is it possible to install this in the Central Munu Computer DooHickey?

MU.NU Banned in Korea

No, this is not a joke. I wish it were.

The government of South Korea took humbrage at the many links to video of Kim Sun-il being beheaded (disclosure note: I was one back in my blahsplat days). In order to 'protect the family' of the victim, they took the drastic step of blocking all internet access, by browsers in Korea, to any DOMAIN with any links to the video. So, all URL's that end in blogspot.com are blocked. Browsers in Korea have been using proxies to view blogs they like, but that's a pain.

A friend of mine in Korea, Kevin (aka, Big Hominid), e-mailed me yesterday and told me that he couldn't see some pics on my site because he had to view it through a proxy as well. When I told him about my move to mu.nu this is what he wrote:

Damn, then you're banned here, along with the rest of your unruly tribe [ie, munivians]. You just can't win against the g*dd*mn Korean government.
Apparently, any one with an mu.nu extension is also banned.

Are there any munivians in Korea that can confirm this?

Code Help?

Does anyone have the code to insert into the template for emails? You know- "Email me" and if the person clicks on it, it opens an email with my email address?

Thanks!

A question for all you baseball fans...

How many hits can you get in a half-inning without scoring a run?

Sitemeter question

I love the C-Panel site stats, but still mostly use Site Meter for a quick summary. I've been trying to add Site Meter to my archive pages, but not sure where to install the code. I've tried various places in the archive template to no avail.

Since Site Meter will only count hits to your main page if it is not installed in the archive template, I thought this might be something others would be interested in learning how to fix.

Help us Madfish Willie...you're our only hope.

Blogrolling & Liberals

First, liberals: I have been wanting to post something about this for a while, and based on a recent post, I’m kind of excited to do so now.

I went through all of the mu.nu blogs recently only to realize that I was likely the only democrat/liberal (those two are not always connected, but I’m using them that way for the sake of argument). Then, I saw this comment on this post:

Wait a minute. I thought *I* was the token liberal.
Posted by: Jennifer at July 22, 2004 07:49 PM
I’ve always been curious how many of us there were, if any. Honestly, like Jen, I thought I was the only one. I don’t want to stir up a political debate, but I am curious if anyone else here leans left…you know, voting for Kerry/Edwards?

*ducking*

On to the Blogrolling thing: I would have posted a question asking if anyone had the OPML code to import to Blogrolling, but I’ve actually enjoyed perusing the Munuvian sites. I’m switching the mu.nu roll over to Blogrolling so that recently updated sites can be flagged. I really like that feature with Blogrolling and find it to be useful so that I’m not visiting sites that haven’t been updated in a few days. I’m not quite done adding everyone (my, there are a lot of you), but I think it’s going to work out really well to showcase blogs that update frequently. I think I can share the OPML if anyone has Blogrolling Gold and wants to import the code into their own blogroll.

The only issue I’m going to have with this is that I won’t know who the new Munuvians are. Other than adding them to the mu.nu blogroll and their occasional hello here, is there any way to know when they come on board? I’m fairly new here, so don’t shoot me if this seems like a stupid question.

I think that’s about it for now. Hope you’re all doing well. :)

MuNews

I extended the "Recent Posts" section to 120 entries. That's still less than a days' worth, but provides a reasonable selection of new stuff. And, of course, counts as links on the Ecosystem. ;)

Paper doing blogging story

I just got an e-mail from the paper in Harrisburg, and they are going to do a story on blogging.

They asked if they can feature me in their story. I said yes, but I guess people are going to find out about me. I wonder how people like my boss will react if they read my stuff.

I guess we'll see.

Fugly Archives

I finished moving all the archives over for Both Hands today (tried to save you some work, Pixy). You're all welcome to come visit!

I love the MT style--so clean and pretty, and I love my template, except for one thing...the archives are not so nice. If anyone can give me some help tweaking my master archive index so it looks like my main index, I would greatly appreciate it.

Sara Sara

I was reminded of this drinking song that any woman named Sarah will no doubt be annoyed if you point it out. We used to sing this at The Phyrst, in State College.

"Sarah, Sarah, sitting in a Chevrolet. All day long she sits and shifts. All day long she shifts and sits. Sara, Sara, sitting in a Chevrolet."

"Sarah, Sarah, sipping on a bottle of Schlitz. All day long she sips her Schlitz. All day long her Schlitz she sips. Sara, Sara, sipping on a bottle of Schlitz."

"Sarah, Sarah, working in a sheet slitting plant. All day long she slits those sheets.All day long those sheets she slits. Sarah, Sarah, working in a sheet slitting plant."

Blogger Bowl 2004?

UPDATE: Make that an autodraft. A lot of emails telling me live draft is too much so, I am all if not flexible!

Every year for the past 4 or 5 years I have played Yahoo Fantasy Football with friends from work, and some online. This year is no exception, except this year I am hoping to perhaps call out a few bloggers for some fun and competition. I am hoping to get a league together with a maximum of 10 teams, and no less then 8 teams. I've found this size of a league to be most fun, and playable.

To join is simple:

Go here and use the following to join the league. You will need a Yahoo ID to join, by the way:

League ID# is 171767
Password is paradox

For the team name please use your blog name and be sure to leave a message on my blog or on the message board there to confirm you joined. Commenters to this blog are welcome too, just be sure to let me know.

So far we have 3 teams, and are looking to have a autodraft to pick teams. If you have any questions let me know.
