Photo Galleries
To build photo galleries I’ve used three methods: iPhoto’s built-in web export, an iPhoto add-on called BetterHTMLExport, and Image Rodeo.
I’m looking at Gallery as a way for any mac.fiver to publish photo galleries:
Clean URLs
I’m trying to figure out why URLs without file extensions quit working when upgrading a Domino Server to 6.5. It also does not work on the IIS server used by sjnlilburn.org.
On a Domino 5.5 server or Apache server, I’m used to being able to have something like this work:

Password Protect Comments
We’re getting spammed by blog-spammers. Today an offensive couple of spams were posted. Greg called me to let me know so I could quickly delete them.
I’ll be introducing a counter measure shortly. This one seems reasonable.
Added to /mt/lib/mt/app/comments.pm just above ip ban:
my $entry_password = uc $q->param(‘password’)
or return $app->handle_error($app->translate(
“Password is required.”));
if ( $entry_password ne “PASSWORD1” && $entry_password ne “PASSWORD2”) {
return $app->handle_error($app->translate(
“Password is incorrect.”));
}

Google is so simple to use, you may not realize how many things it can do. For example, type your phone number in Google, and see how your name, address, and a map to your house will pop up! (Scary!)
Soople.com helps you find out about things like this. It runs on top of Google. In fact, you may want to go to Soople instead of Google every time!
Global Listings Plugin
I wanted to add the most recent comments across all blogs on the mac.fiveforks.com page. (Normally you can only list the recent comments inside a single blog.)
Installed this plug in: MT Extensions: Global Listings 2.0.2
