Tech headaches
: Unbeknownst to me, my host moved servers on me last night and because I set up MT wrong in the first place (with an IP address instead of a name … long story), my a.m. post and your comments since last night were lost. I restored a post and a few of the comments; can’t get to the others. Apologizes.

I am the post child for the Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing Foundation.

: HELP: I still can’t get the comments to remember me or anyone else. My MT.cfg now lists the domain (not the IP address) for the CGI path; that’s what I thought would fix it. Doesn’t. Any advice? Thanks!

Kathy’s trying to help me in the comments but it’s still not working.

Bring back wooden type!

    check to make sure your mt.cfg path and your path in the weblog config in MT are the same.
    I’m willing to bet you have ‘www’ in one and not in the other.

    I take it back. Burn the wooden type. Kathy fixed it. She’s a genius, a scholar, and a friend.
    My comments should now remember you.
    Now if I can do something about this butt-ugly design…

    Kathy K does FINE work at designing web-sites, too!! [disclaimer-she is MB’s blog-mate, so of course MB would toot Kathy’s horn for her]

    Sorry I didn’t catch your troubles earlier, glad to hear they’re (apparently?) fixed.

    It is nice to be remembered. If nothing else, at least, by a comment box.
    It is also refreshing to see a big time journalist (hot-shot, even?) have computer troubles like the rest of us.
    Hehe.
