Hi. Thought I'd pop over here with what could well be a truly idiotic question: how are the default times set for our blog entries? Is there a way I can use MTto change the posting times on my individual blog (Little Miss Attila) to correlate with Pacific Standard Time in the U.S.?
Let me know. Thanks!
Posted by Attila at April 17, 2004 12:13 AMOn the left side is a button called Weblog Config. Click that and at the bottom is a pulldown menu where you set the time zone.
Posted by Ted at April 17, 2004 01:32 AMUh, that's in "edit" mode, when you log in. That left column is the one with the buttons for adding entries and playing with the templates. Weblog config is a little farther down that list.
Posted by Ted at April 17, 2004 01:35 AMFound it. And now the time is right--but I'm still a day off! (For instance, my entry from today is listed under tomorrow's date.)
Posted by Attila Girl at April 17, 2004 02:36 AMThanks, I've been wondering about that since I got here.
Posted by frinklin at April 17, 2004 02:38 AMHey, me too! I didn't even notice that part. How do we correct the day?
Posted by frinklin at April 17, 2004 02:39 AMEdit the post--on the bottom is a date and time, just change it to whatever you want or what's correct, then publish again. Easy peasy!
Posted by Susie at April 17, 2004 04:57 AMBut!!! Before you can change the time, you need to click on "customize the display of this page", put the radio button into the custom field, and then check the box that says editable authored on date! Then save, of course...You can check all of them if you want, or play with a few at a time, until your composition page looks like what you want it to (I like the preview and save buttons at the top of my posts for example, and I don't usually keep the extended entry box there, I turn it on as needed). Hope that's clearer!!
Posted by Susie at April 17, 2004 05:08 AMSusie: You are SO cool!!! I do the same thing with my [PREVIEW] / [SAVE] buttons so I don't have to scroll down the page just to punch them.
Pixy: I read somewhere, probably over at the MT Support Forum, that you can set the width of the entry boxes... I wonder if it would be possible to extend the boxes to where they will fill the screen in 800x600 resolution... and would that be a group thing since it is set in the configuration file or do each of the blogs have their own configuration files? Just wondering out loud...
Posted by Madfish Willie at April 17, 2004 07:28 AMMW - Yeah, that would be nice. I hate the poky little boxes! (Need an angry smily here - grrr!!!)
I'll take a look.
Posted by Pixy Misa at April 17, 2004 10:27 AMIf I had my choice, the entry box and the sidebar together would = my full screen size, which is 800x600.
