My Movable Type woes

To speed up rebuilding on this and previous installations of Movable Type, I cut my archives in half and publish through two different blogs. #1 is the one you are looking at. #2 is ‘prolific classic’ (archives from 1998 – 2001), which resides at prolific.org/classic/

#1 Publishes fine, it shows the 3-column layout the way I want it, with sidebars. #2 Won’t show its sidebars, whatever I do. Not on the front page, not on the archive listing and not on the entry pages. I can’t figure it out and don’t see any difference in the templates. Anniwun kan halp?

I’ve also not been able to get dynamic publishing working on more than one blog. MT won’t let me publish both #1 and #2 dynamically at the same time. So now one is published static, the other dynamic.


Fixed. The problem occurred because I was publishing one blog’s archives outside the root. Hmm. I’d call that a bug.

(The first one to tell me ‘why don’t you use wordpress’ or ‘why don’t you just code your own’ gets a punch in the nose.)

U2log.com redesigns

Finally!

The new U2log.com has gone live.

All MT 3.1, CSS, xHTML (though external links break validation), dynamic publishing, etc etc. And we’re using Flickr for our ‘Caption it’ feature.

So, we’re ready for the new album (which the design is based on) and tour. What’s next?
